Wireless Mission: Impossible
I’ve known Dewayne Hendricks for years as fellow wireless entrepreneur but only recently had a chance to meet up. Just back from Saipan, he was on his way to speak at an IEEE conference at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois. My son and I met Dewayne at Flaco’s Cocina where we talked about the FCC, entrepreneurial spirit, Buckminster Fuller, and ham radio.
Dewayne exudes two things that are in short supply these days—enthusiasm for technology and high performance standards. (Actually, high standards are always in short supply.) He’s spent much of the past 30 years trekking the globe, bringing broadband Internet access to users in developing countries (such as Mongolia and the Kingdom of Tonga), rural areas (such as Indian reservations), and other challenging locations (the Northern Mariana Islands). Think of Dewayne as a wireless IMF (Impossible Missions Force) agent.
