Data Center POST had the opportunity to connect with Walter Cannon, VP of Business Development at ZenFi Networks. In 2013, ZenFi Networks started its journey in New York City with a singular vision: to create an innovative, never-before-seen network to solve the growing infrastructure challenges facing mobile networks. ZenFi Networks achieved its goal with its revolutionary C-RAN-enabling, fronthaul fiber network. With over 30 years of experience in technology sales and executive management, Walter helped progress ZenFi Networks from the local New York City-based company into the global enterprise it is today. In November 2022, BAI Communications acquired ZenFi Networks, adding the company to its portfolio of formidable digital infrastructure companies that include Mobilitie and Transit Wireless.
