Congratulations to?Vertical Bridge and?Verizon! Now that?Vertical Bridge has acquired the rights to lease and operate more than 6,000 wireless towers across the US from Verizon in a deal worth $3.3 billion, Verizon is "...well positioned with greater financial flexibility to invest in our business, return value to our shareholders and make the nation’s best network even better for customers,” said @Hans Vestberg, CEO and chair of Verizon. Vertical Bridge is the?fast, friendly, and flexible colocation partner to the wireless industry!

Five years ago, a meeting with the Allen Economic Development Corporation changed the trajectory of MD7. Lynn Whitcher, Cheryl Bobbitt, and Mario Martinez had spent a couple of days visiting various Dallas area cities to discuss a potential relocation of our U.S. Headquarters. The last appointment on the tour was a 1PM meeting with the AEDC arranged through David Ellis. Taking a quick note of the appointment, Lynn wrote this message on her hand... It was a great meeting. And although the company put the idea of a move on the shelf for various reasons, Dan Bowman, David Ellis, and Tracey Cline kept in touch over the years. In 2020, we visited the idea again, ultimately leading to our H.Q. relocation to City of Allen in 2021. We could not have known then just how invaluable the AEDC would be in helping us settle into our new home. We are grateful for the community introductions made by Dan, David, and the team, the ideas shared with Jan Jungmann, and new friends like Julie Brown and Nicole Bywater. Today, MD7 leaders serve on the Allen Economic Development Corporation Advisory Board, as well as the Allen Fairview Chamber of Commerce Board. We have partnered with Jennifer Cano at the Marriott Dallas Allen Hotel & Convention Center and Jan Jungmann at the AEDC to host a monthly networking event for the One Bethany area busineses. We worked with Chris Gaston and the Credit Union of Texas to plan a watch party for the total solar eclipse. We have even particiated in the local Christmas parade. MD7 is proud to be a part of the City of Allen. We are grateful to the team at the AEDC for their leadership and dedication in making Allen a premier community in which to live, work, and thrive, and we are looking forward to the next five years!

Congratulations to Anthony LaRussa on completing the?MD7?ConnectUp mentoring program. Throughout the program, Anthony worked directly with Antonette Ocampo, Chandra Douglas, Lynn Whitcher, and Scott Belie but also received support from?Kelly Pati, Jenny King, and Robert Polito, PMP. #unlimitedpossibilities #mentoring #leadership

With 1,064 hp and a top speed of over 200 mph, it's the fastest Corvette ever! One thing is sure: electric charging infrastructure?must keep pace with the current and planned growth of electric vehicles on the road so that consumers have the confidence to drive them anywhere. MD7 will continue to help accelerate electric vehicle charging infrastructure?worldwide?in 2025 and beyond.
