“Wireless is an integral part of our daily business operations as well as our personal lives, yet it doesn't work reliably within the buildings we spend most of our time. We, as the leaders of the industry, must solve this problem.”
“This is a top priority for my time and resources. The market research we have gotten so far has been worth its weight in gold in terms of strategy.”
“Tenants aren’t asking for in-building yet, but that will quickly change—and we will have an edge that we will actively market. Our competitors will have to catch up.”
