SUPPORTING QUOTE

Mike Terzich, Chief Administrative Officer, Zebra Technologies

“For companies in rural America to successfully utilize our B2B IoT solutions, there is one universal, vital resource – they must have unfettered access to quality, high-speed broadband, both wireline and wireless. Without investment in broadband infrastructure in rural communities, companies, healthcare providers, and consumers will be left behind. Spectrum is the lifeblood of IoT, and that is no different for business IoT solutions.”
