214 PANEL : RAPID-FIRE QUESTIONS
What COVID trends do you see remaining ?
Remote workers , companies staying leaner and supply chain evolution .
What makes Talley different ?
We have a focused approach on customer types . We understand a specific number of solutions , operate with profitability in mind , and that streamlines our decision tree . Removing that ‘ noise ’ is key to what we ’ re trying to accomplish .
Where do you see the business going in the next 12-18 months ?
Crossing my fingers , our business is going to be busy . With the effort to reduce costs , IoT is going to be more important , small cells are going to be deployed in mass , macro sites will still be built , and fiber plants to support things at or near the edge will be needed across the board .
What are the top industry trends ?
Faster bandwidth ; fiber-optic usage in back- mid- and front-haul ; AI ; and the deployment of small cells .
