## Summary

Greg Jones, CTO of Kajeet, discusses the company's evolution from an education-focused startup to an IoT managed connectivity provider serving healthcare, transportation, and field services. He explains how Kajeet’s Sentinel platform and 'solutions in a box' approach help non-tech industries deploy IoT by handling device provisioning, carrier relationships, and security. Jones highlights specific use cases like smart buses, EV charging station monitoring, and remote patient monitoring, emphasizing how falling hardware costs and 5G enablement are closing the digital divide for disadvantaged students and patients.
