INTERVIEW
– Carey Gille and Ken Sinclair
Carey Gille
Vice President of Product
WOWClowd
Mobile Technology Solution
Introduces the WOWClowd Mobile Technology Solution to the Cable Testing Industry
Sinclair: What is WOWClowd? How does it work?
Gille: WOWClowd is a revolutionary “Mobile Cloud” technology solution that
applies the latest wireless technology to the structured cable testing
industry. The one-of-a-kind, WOWClowd Solution utilizes mobile
devices such as smart phones and tablets, a specially designed
application and innovative cloud technology to gain access to real time
test results, project management tools and customer floor plans.
Using Bluetooth™ wireless technology, technicians can use their mobile
devices to connect to the WOWTester to initiate and run cable tests.
By using our WOWTester App, a smart phone or tablet becomes the
“brains” of the on-site testing process – enabling technicians to test
ports and view results in real time, on-site. The App
automatically pushes data directly to the cloud, where floor plans,
project progress and real time test results are collected, stored and
backed up.
Sinclair: How does this solution reduce the risk of lost test results?
Gille: Test results, project management tools, customer floor plans, and
other project documentation are collected, time-stamped, stored and
backed-up to the cloud in “real time.” Because test results will
feed immediately to the cloud, data is instantly accessible rather than
delayed awaiting manual transfer or even worse, accidently lost when
testers are shared, misplaced or stolen.
Sinclair: How does this impact the technicians on-site?
Gille: Technicians will be able to use their smart phones and tablets with
the free App to initiate and run cable tests allowing them to
view test progress and results in real time on their mobile
devices.
Because project information, including floor plans can be stored in the
cloud, technicians can confirm and update cable and outlet information
from the job site. They will no longer need to read and mark
changes on paper floor plans, which will eliminate confusion and create
better records.
The App, will also eliminate cumbersome traditional tester
scroll buttons, allowing technicians to use the familiar and advanced
interface of their mobile device.
The WOWClowd Master weighs less than a pound. The remote is even
smaller weighing about six ounces. The WOWClowd Master and Remote
are much easier for technicians to carry and attach to their tool
belts, so they no long have to carry around big, bulky equipment.
In addition, the devices can test multiple RJ45s making it easier for one technician to complete a project.
Sinclair: How can this tool positively impact customer retention?
Gille: This solution significantly improves client retention,
productivity, information access and profitability as owners, project
managers, supervisors, field personnel and clients will now have real
time access to the cloud where test results, project management tools,
customer floor plans, and other project documentation are collected,
time stamped, stored and backed up.
Clients can be granted cloud access with pre-set permissions to view
real-time project information including status, test results and floor
plans. Having this information may influence clients to return to
the solution provider to access this information for future
projects.

Gille: We are still establishing the price of the subscription. We know it will be a fraction of the cost of
existing technology available today. Companies will be able to
use multiple low-cost remotes with one master to test multiple cables
at one time. This configuration will keep costs lower, also.
We will take pre-orders at the BICSI conference in Orlando February 3
through 5. We anticipate we’ll have product in the market by late
spring or early summer.
We believe the WOWClowd solution will be an affordable game-changing
product that will revolutionize and transform the cable testing
industry.
Sinclair: Who is WOW Insites, LLC?
Gille: WOW Insites, LLC, is an innovative technology company headquartered in
Omaha, Neb. We specialize in the unique combination of
SAAS-Cloud-Mobile platforms to deliver state-of-the-art innovation,
simplicity of use and world-class productivity solutions.
