Rythmz: More Than Just Wi-Fi (EP 856)

Live from PAX 8 Beyond, Uncle Marv chats with Leonard from Rythmz, the MSP-first company bringing portable internet to events and emergencies. Their rugged Pelican cases house bonded SIM cards for unlimited, high-priority data, perfect for powering small chamber events or a 100,000-person concert. Leonard shares how MSPs are cashing in by charging setup and daily fees, turning Wi-Fi into a revenue stream. With funny stories about booth setup struggles and co-founder Steve’s absence (and his love for vodka!), this episode is packed with insights for MSPs. Learn how Rythmz tackles fiber cuts and moves with plug-and-play ease.
