sure I appreciate the question today, so thank you very much. Um, So how I got here today? 30 plus years in telecom. Um, and what drived toe? What? The incidents shaped the career within that I've done operational support systems, predominantly software networking within the fiber optics, built global networks and looked at things from a global perspective. And those were some of the things that I actually have a shape, the experience for me. Let's say, as you say, the incidents and what inspired me to do what we're doing at l b in to start L B in WAAS starting to look at things. Uh, not not to use the term. That's probably overused, but out of the box. So most of the environment telecom eyes very in the box toe, work with carrier work with the function and stay in a silo. And that is what it encouraged me to do. This is to create an enablement company to look across that and stretch between those different silos to be approached with those. And so that's what we have done here. Tell Bien. So I appreciate the question
we got started with this, um, really looking at smart cities and how to enable a smart city, an environment for smart city and what a city was undergoing. An aesthetics and functions and features And, um then enabling that along with the carriers, so very simple to start it sounds like then Cove it hit. So things have changed very drastically for us. As a lot of the software function, features and stuff have changed. And that is how that's evolving over time for us. With the pandemic currently underway, Um, we've had to realign some of our timeline and some of the products and offerings, but it's enabling that component of what we started with. And that's what we did was for services, I guess, the key word in the industry's called digital digital transformation. So you have it infrastructures of service platform as a service and software as a service. And as I said earlier, you had to find a way to over arch those to make it to be a single solution city, which they do not know how to do. And so that's what we were solving that. And now that our products offerings were changing based upon security co vet and different things in a pandemic which hasn't happened in 100 years. So I guess I should feel blessed.
Oh, certainly. So those weeks were very still right in the back of my mind like they were yesterday. Um, being that have been in the industry long enough and we'll get to probably seen those questions. But the first few weeks had been working on the idea and functional company for a year, year and a half. Consultants, analysts, partners and things that I had when I decided to start those first few weeks, it was amazing that once they realized I was building a company and it wasn't a theory or processor thought of all the things that had to be put in place and until to start those first few weeks and all the way from being, um, Inc. How do I do that? How do I look at, uh, of course, starting the company? How do I bring people into the company? And so that was really the first few weeks was even though the business plan was in place, prospectus was in place now that I had to start to execute, and those were some of the fun challenges. When you're starting a business there, things you don't think about because I've worked for very large companies and other multiple startups. But not in the position I'm in is the CEO and those are things that you normally don't see. They go on behind the scenes and all of a sudden when those were put in front of me, that was very interesting. And um, it was It was a very trying and very, very fun time at the same time on how it's changed over time. Mingling in the right parts of the team is the real key is everybody speaks many times of business colleges and postgraduate programs and sort. But it is a real key and that is how things change. So a lot of those things that I thought might be daunting or harder for me to try to take over and control. I was able to bring in the right team members and that's what's changed over the over the months and I got to get back to strategy and vision of how to direct. The company, which is CEO, is primarily held responsible for
