Wireless Logic – Connecting any device, anywhere. Back in 1998-2000, I saw the future. A world where machines talk to each other. Where data flows seamlessly. Where everything is just connected.

Co-built in 1991 what became the 5th largest mobile laptop brand in the UK — from Xitec to Pico Direct, growing into one of the country's leading end-to-end mobile solution providers of laptops and mobile data accessories. As Sales & Marketing Director, I worked directly with Nan Tan Corporation, Clevo, and Compal. We designed and developed solutions with Psion, Atari Portfolio and Sharp 3000, and flew to Taiwan monthly to stay ahead of the hardware curve. Yes — PCMCIA cards with SIMs. In 1995. The Option PCMCIA First Phone — a SIM-slotted card that predated the smartphone era — sparked the vision that would eventually become Wireless Logic. Hardware was brilliant. But we wanted recurring revenue, not one-time transactions. That realisation drove the pivot to connectivity-as-a-service, building channel partnerships with mobile networks across EMEA. The foundation of everything that followed was laid right here.
