2009
CeBIT Spotlight and Global Trust TLTR: Hit CeBIT at 23, connected with German armed forces. Powered mining, infrastructure, emergency networks across Europe, Africa, South America. Built trust, not just routers, in tough environments. Long-Version: In 2009, at 23, we hit a milestone: CeBIT, our first major tech fair. Picture our booth, buzzing with MeshNode’s rugged WiFi tech, catching the eye of the German armed forces. That connection was a game-changer. Their interest in our secure, battle-ready networks gave us a new kind of credibility. We weren’t just a small team anymore. We were players. Industrial projects poured in. Mining operations in Europe, infrastructure in Africa, emergency networks in South America. Our routers powered the toughest environments, delivering where others failed. We weren’t just building hardware. We were building trust. Every network we deployed proved our tech could handle the real world—harsh, unpredictable, relentless. The grind felt electric, like the early days of hacking, but now with purpose. That raw spark kept us sharp, focused, unstoppable.
