Looking for a better solution for Data Connectivity? Eric Flam of Solis talks with Andy about the Solis Wireless Hotspot. An Alternative means for that connectivity with benefits over a Smartphone Hotspot or one from your carrier. Solis offers this connectivity to not just one carrier but many others. Solis is offered in over 130 countries and with over 200 carriers. This can be a great benefit for those traveling, especially overseas. Redundancy is the key with the Solis Wireless hotspot making sure you can always have the connection. The security benefits are also there with the elimination of using a public Wi-Fi which could open the user to a man in the middle attack. Can more than one person connect to the Solis hotspot? Eric tells us about speeds, ease of use, Powering the device and availability of the Solis Hotspot optimized for connectivity. In our discussion we learn of the different devices available including 4G and 5G. To find out more, check them out at https://soliswifi.co/.

Andy welcomes Gatsby Frimpong, Co-Founder CEO of Gatsby.TV to TechtalkRadio to share info on the creation and use of the App. Gatsby has worked in the industry with Stops at Cisco, Microsoft and Google. Gatsby tells us how algorithms may not always be the best way to find programs and how some of the algorithms can add you to the Echo Chamber and not see shows or content out of your regular zone.
