Today we’re chatting with RtBrick, our winner of the 2023 Networking Trailblazers Award. We have both Hannes Gredler, the firm’s CTO, and Richard Brandon, VP of Marketing, to tell us more about how the idea for RtBrick came about. Chief Trailblazer Rose Ross discovers how Hannes went from research that gained his employer many patents, to breaking out and having his own company and control of his own inventions.Richard and Hannes share their experiences of being a small startup trying to take on the large firms in the competitive arena of the telco market, as well as explaining their take on how they hit the right time to push for disaggregated networking. They explain how this offers flexibility and cost reductions via a whole new class of solution.They also explain how their journey can be compared to firms like Tesla and their approach to building electric cars, plus their joy at landing such a large client as Deutsche Telekom.
