83 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE JULY 2020 valuable and marketable to the business, its customers, and themselves. Goodman Networks is continuing to grow its logistic capability because the companies they deal with want to ensure that the technician providing the service is outfitted with everything they need to get first- time completion of the job. It creates a better customer experience and is less expensive. The goal as they expand and add more cities to their footprint is to beef up that logistics piece. Looking to the future, Wise acknowledges, “I’ve been in the wireless industry for 25 years and it has changed dramatically since I started. My view is that we’re on the leading edge of the next industrial revolution. I believe that 5G is going to change the world the way locomotives and electricity did. With electric vehicles, in the medical arena – there are endless ways that 5G data with low latency is going to be used. So, we are aggressively moving into 5G small cell deployment because we see that as the future. I’ve seen estimates in the tens of millions of small cells that will be deployed over the next five to ten years. It’s going to take a lot of densification work to be able to serve the customers and there’s a huge opportunity in this, for us, as we go into the future.” The Goodman Networks team has been trusted by the largest communication companies in the U.S. to provide project management, site searches, engineering, construction, integration and logistics in support of networks nationwide. Their dedicated tower crews and cell site technicians support a range of wireless infrastructure programs, self-performing in 25 states across the eastern half of the country. Supported by mature and highly effective support operation groups, Goodman Networks employees deliver some of the best safety, quality and on-time performance metrics in the industry. As a result, they have become highly proficient at exceeding customer expectations in complex, multi-technology and multi-vendor environments across large geographies. GOODMAN NETWORKS
