West Networks: the operator behind everything

Every venture I write about on this page — the education network, the data-plan storefront, the campaigns, the summit — sits on the same foundation: West Networks, the engineering company I founded and still run from Gainesville, Florida.

We design and operate networks that don’t fail when it matters: bonded SD-WAN over any transport a site can get — fiber, broadband, multi-carrier 5G, private 5G, LEO satellite — monitored by our NOC, managed centrally, and built on the ownership economics of the New Enterprise. Our fingerprints are on 1,900+ retail locations, mobile mammography and ambulance fleets, cruise-ship Starlink arrays, tournament broadcast, jobsites, and the hospital networks in between.

How the pieces fit

• West Networks — the operator. Engineering, deployment, NOC, managed services.
• Connectivity 101 — the classroom. Free, vendor-honest education across seven industry worlds.
• West 5G — the storefront. Published plans for nationwide, global, enterprise, and private 5G, plus the LEO Gigabit pilot.
• BuyPeplink — the hardware counter.

One operator, one architecture, several doors in. Whichever door you walk through, the people on the other side are the engineers who actually run these networks — that’s the whole model. Sales: (352) 316-7701.
