Arpad Kovesdy on Beamlink’s Mission to Connect the Unconnected
In this special Digitel Talk episode recorded at the AI for Good Global Summit, host Ian Ginn speaks with Arpad Kovesdy, CTO and co-founder of Beamlink—a company on a mission to make mobile connectivity radically more accessible.
Beamlink’s flagship innovation, the Bentocell, is a portable, low-power 4G/5G cell tower that can be deployed in minutes using solar energy and AI-driven setup. Arpad shares how natural disasters like Hurricane Maria inspired the company, and how their technology is already connecting communities in Micronesia, New Zealand, and the US.
