Thank you Chuck! I don’t officially start until March 1^st .
Patrick is putting together a great team, including Boun Senekham,
myself and two others yet to be announced. I am really looking
forward to talking to Wisps on a daily schedule again. We think
Baicells products will be well received and we are excited to be
working together to make sure our clients are extremely satisfied.
Below is a combination of two press releases that came out last
week. It was easier to combine the two as much of the material
was duplicated. My new email address should be set up in a few
days and will be [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>. Patrick’s is
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> and
Boun’s will be [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>.
Make sure and visit our booth (215) at WISPAmerica. Baicells
Technologies is a Gold Sponsor.
*Patrick Leary, Rick Harnish & Boun Senekham Take on Leadership
Roles with Baicells North America*

Feb 17, 2016
Dallas, TX, USA & Beijing, China – February 15, 2016 —Baicells
Technologies, an emerging global provider of disruptive LTE
solutions founded by several of the telecom market’s top
scientists and executives, today announced the launch of their
North American operations, also naming American wireless broadband
veteran Patrick Leary to lead the subsidiary. Baicells, a 2015 Red
Herring Top 100 Asia Winner, is focused on connecting the
unconnected using cutting-edge and disruptively-valued LTE solutions.
Less than two years old, Baicells’ technology is already
network-accepted by one of the top mobile carriers in the world,
and won a small cell innovation award from a top U.S. based
silicon maker. Baicells was founded by top telecom executives,
including Chairman and CEO Sun Lixin, formerly one of the “12
Fellows” of Huawei, a former chairman of the ITU-R WP5D and a
leading scientist for 3GPP.org, both global organizations defining
4G/5g and LTE standards.
“We founded Baicells because we have a dream to be a disruptive
player, including in North America, and few people have had a
greater influence over the North American wireless broadband
market than Patrick Leary,” explained Mr. Sun Lixin. “Patrick
shares our vision and our passion to connect the unconnected, so
this is a natural pairing for both Baicells and Mr. Leary. We are
excited for our future in North America.”
“My career’s mission has been to enable the entrepreneurs bravely
trying to solve the digital divide across the continent,” shared
Patrick Leary, President, Baicells, North America. “In Baicells,
I’ve found a company with the same passion, as well as the
resources and drive to disrupt the market with unique and
right-priced LTE solutions. I’m honored to join the esteemed
leadership team at Baicells.”
Baicells, an end-to-end LTE solution provider, has three main
product sets: Light4g, BroFi, and WeLTE, targeting small cells,
rural broadband, and private LTE networks, respectively. We also
develop our own cloud core enhanced packet core (EPC)
technologies, along with the supporting QAM management and billing
software tools. Our solutions support unlicensed spectrum, as well
as the newly-created U.S. CBRS band, and higher power 2.x and
Canadian 3.x frequencies.
Also joining the Baicells North America team is Mr. Rick Harnish,
formerly the Executive Director of WISPA, the Wireless Internet
Service Providers’ Association, to the position of Director of
WISP Markets. Rick will lead penetration and customer management
in this vital market sector. Rick joins officially March 1.
During his tenure with WISPA, Mr. Harnish grew the association
from about 100 to 800 member companies. Over the course of this
period, WISPA established itself as the association of record for
the industry, leading its representation before Congress and the
Federal Communications Commission. “I’ve known Rick for many
years,” said Patrick Leary, President, Baicells North America.
“Rick is pretty much ‘Mr. WISP’ and he remains a much-loved figure
in the WISP market. Baicells and our customers will greatly
benefit from his steady hand, and of course the depth and breadth
of his knowledge.”
“Life’s journey is filled with wonders and twists,” shared Mr.
Harnish. “I love this community and Baicells will be a perfect
vehicle for me to take the next step to help build our industry. I
hope my friends throughout will welcome me to the commercial side
of our industry, and will be patient as I learn new things.”
Additionally, Baicells is also happy to announce Mr. Boun
Senekham, a top wireless broadband sales executive and customer
relationship expert, has joined the Baicells North America team.
The announcement comes one day following the news that market
veteran Patrick Leary will lead the North American subsidiary.
Boun (rhymes with “dune”) joins officially March 1.
For the past 7 years, Boun has been a regional sales manager for
Double Radius, one of the leading value-added distributors in the
wireless market and where he consistently was among its top
performers. “Baicells will be built by professionals with
reputations synonymous with integrity and commitment,” noted
Patrick. “We owe this to our partners in China, who put so much
faith in us, and we owe this especially to our future customers,
whose businesses will depend upon our solutions. Ask anyone who’s
been around this space for a few years which salespeople they
trust the most, and Boun will be in that list.”
“This was not an easy decision for me,” commented Mr. Senekham,
“But I’m joining colleagues with such passion for our market they
consider this work a vocation, and combined with a parent company
led by some of the smartest people in LTE, this was the right
move. I’m excited to share Baicells with my contacts, and honored
to be selected to build our sales organization.”
