Practically every year since year 2000, one of my companies DIDx Inc has showcased services with an ITEXPO booth and given back to the IP communications community as some type of sponsor. We are hooked on the quality of presentations, the IDEA showcase, the way the event continues to include all the players in voice, video, security, data, AI, blockchain, and more. ITEXPO is the reason that many of us have experienced great success in sales, customer retention and vendor collaborations as well as knowledge sharing and rolling out new features and partnerships.
At the 2018 ITEXPO, we met some truly stellar people from highly respected companies that I'd like to highlight here with their 2018 accomplishments, and we know they will be back January 29 - February 1, 2019 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Telefonica's España Global Account Sales Guillermo Ulmos and his colleague discussed with us their impressive SMS coverage and ever-increasing quality and expansion or radioelectri spectrum. In fact, early this week, Telefonica won 120 MHz of radioelectric spectrum in the 2500-2690 MHz frequency band for wireless services in Mexico.
What is the big deal about this? It can handle not only broadband and 5g mobile networks but also the increasing expansion of
Internet of Things.
We also met CEO Nir Simionovich and COO Eric Klein of
Cloudonix who

discussed their intriguing
contextual calling feature to their CPaaS solution. In early summer 2018, they
certified Digium Asterisk phones. The Asterisk phones can be efficiently connected as end-points for applications running on the Cloudonix platform. (BTW, most of us in IP communications industry have other interests such as
Eric Klein has published a few books like
Essentials of Cyber Security and
The One Adventures through the Solar System.) Expect Cloudonix guys to present, exhibit and more at ITEXPO 2019.
Last, did you know who collected the $15,000 from ITEXPO's Eric Linask at the 2018

event?
The Phone Number Guy! He has an unbelievable collection of 50,000 vanity numbers, tollfree numbers and such that have great deal of meaning for a few or many. His service enables you to port to your carrier and you will then own the numbers.
Between now and January 28, 2019, I'll highlight a few of the many exciting people and companies that participate in ITEXPO in individual blog posts. Meanwhile, visit
