Special Guest: Luke Getto, Director of Product Management at VoltServer (USA). VoltServer’s patented, "Digital Electricity" (DE) is a more efficient way to run power across long distances, using standard data cabling, with speed and power savings. They are revolutionizing the way smart buildings, stadiums and vertical farming are wired today.

Digital Electricity not only is efficient, it is safer, easier and cheaper to install. Luke talks about how this is being used today and more.

Special Guest: Joe Pawelczyk, VP of operations at DPI UAV Systems (USA), a leading provider of small rotary wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV).

Joe explains how tethered drones can be used as communication towers, especially for remote, highly isolated environments at sea. DPI is able to increase line of site communication at sea 3x using the UMAR, enabling communications to stretch from 8 miles to nearly 30 miles, even under the most rugged, turbulent conditions.
