Date: 14/01/2022

On today’s episode of the Unlicensed Podcast, we’re excited to be hosting another WISP! Joining us today is Brandon Hardy from Cobalt Ridge based in Wichita Falls, Texas. Brandon shares with us his story of starting a WISP with limited knowledge and funding, the trials and tribulations faced, the successes, and what it is leading to in the future. We discuss a wide range of topics related to starting a WISP including equipment used, plans sold, how to scale operations, increasing throughput to realistically meet customer needs, and a crazy story about how his main tower was destroyed by vandals that you don’t want to miss!
