Running a business is difficult...

Especially if you happen to run a business firmly planted in information technology. Although there are many aspects you can control, there are many you cannot. The things you tend to be able not to control take time away from servicing your customer base. Time spent on the phone arguing with someone in a call center about a service you paid for but aren't receiving, or a service that isn't functioning up to the advertised expectation becomes non-sensical. Business owners in today's world, as well as management personnel don't have time to deal with these inconveniences. They already, in most cases, have too much on their plate to contend with dealing with poor service. Does this describe what you're going through?

I'm not a big fan of outsourcing technical responsibility overseas. I've had to contend with it on many an occasion when a certain technical department is migrated elsewhere and the troubleshooting process as well as properly managing escalations becomes extremely problematic. But do you know what I am a fan of? Carrier and vendor outsourcing. You're not relying on a bunch of untrained people sitting in a cubicle somewhere who can be extremely difficult to understand and who only have a vague comprehension of your infrastructure. You're just delegating the troubleshooting and heavy lifting to the people that built it in the first place. Having an issue with your network? Is your cloud giving you trouble? With our technical solutions, your problems get taken care of, fast. We're not just selling you a high impact solution to streamline your data, we're going to support it well after the fact. That's why we're your ally as well as your solutions provider. When the chips are down, you need someone in your corner. That's where we come in.

Integrity has always been a major issue with me when engaging companies to find solutions, and I've built this business on the same principle. Integrity, honesty, and building lifelong relationships is how business should always be done.

Of course these are all things you’ll learn after our first meeting.

Mobile networks are changing...

Artemis may very well change everything we know about current wireless standards on mobile networks in America. Steve Perlman, the founder of the company (and the same man who gave us the amazing OnLive cloud streaming service for gaming) is once again pushing the technical limits of how we interact with the world. The technology is called "pcell" and it's very similar to having your own cell tower in your pocket. No more having to worry about sharing space with other users on random tower sectors in your city because it will no longer matter. You're going to get the maximum speed possible, regardless of any traffic or spectrum sharing. If all goes according to plan, bandwidth throttling will also be a thing of the past.

With the way networks are being built and with the amount of people using them going up daily, the infrastructure is going to be bogged down to some extent regardless of how much load balancing may take place. Again, the infrastructure makes this inevitable. Artemis' pcell however may completely alleviate this in the future and usher in a new platform for mobile networks worldwide because it thrives off of the given spectrum's interference. 

The only issue I really see with this right now is the man at the helm. Steve Perlman was the innovator behind the OnLive game streaming network and his ego was devastating to it's growth. Greed ultimately came to be what cost hundreds if not more their jobs when he demanded more money from all the top publishers in the industry for the privilege of streaming their games through his service. It is my sincerest hope that he's not blinded by that same ailment yet again. That being said, I've worked on wireless mobile networks the good part of the last four years and if this ultimately ends up being the case, everybody wins. In the grand scheme of things, it is the very satisfied customer that will ultimately drive business.
