Michael Reid shared thisMacquarie Investor Conference. A great opportunity to update investors on the incredible demand we are seeing across the US for Compute, Network and Storage driven by AI. Some of our customers are growing revenue in months that would normally take 10 years. The next wave of AI has clearly shifted toward inference, driving unbelievable demand for GPU, CPU, storage, power and data center space. This is exactly where Megaport and Latitude.sh are uniquely positioned. We operate in more than 1,000 data centers across 30 countries. We can rapidly identify available space and power, then deploy CPU, GPU, Network and Storage capacity at lightning speed. We talked through our $34M CPU and Storage deal announced last week, the consistent demand we continue to see, ongoing supply chain dynamics. It’s a once in a generation opportunity. We are in exactly the right place at the right time. On product innovation we shared our latest network launch, ‘DDoS Protection’, and to expect more to come. And of course, we wrapped up with live demos of both Megaport and Latitude. Thanks to Andrew Gillies and the team at Macquarie Group for hosting us. Game on!

Michael Reid shared thisBig hire for Megaport I’m excited to announce that Alexandre Villela joins us today as Chief Corporate Development Officer. Alex comes from DigitalBridge, where he led their venture investing platform, backing category defining companies across AI infrastructure, data centers, networking, and infrastructure software. Before that, he held senior roles at Intel Capital and Qualcomm. Alex has spent over a decade in Silicon Valley operating at the intersection of capital, innovation, and infrastructure. Exactly where Megaport is playing and winning. He’ll lead our corporate development strategy, driving M&A, major partnerships, and hyperscale opportunities as we accelerate into the next phase of growth. As AI reshapes everything, the need for high performance compute and global connectivity has never been more critical. Excited to have him on the team. Game on!

Michael Reid reposted thisMichael Reid reposted thisWe increased our international network capacity by 150% this year. Here's where it went ↓ AI workloads are growing fast. High-frequency trading needs microsecond latency. Your cloud infrastructure needs to keep up. So we invested in three things: 1. 800-gig waves on key inter-metro routes 2. N+2 subsea redundancy across Asia Pacific 3. 130 new data centers by end of 2026 (bringing us to 1,200+ globally) We handle the infrastructure. You get faster speeds, more redundancy, and global reach. Curious? Drop a comment and we'll help you out. Darren Wilson

Michael Reid liked thisMichael Reid liked thisFour weeks ago, I started a new chapter as a Senior Financial Accountant – COGS at Megaport 🚀. Since joining, I’ve quickly realised I’ve stepped into something pretty special. The culture is out of this world, the people are fantastic, and the work has been genuinely interesting from day one. Moving into the Network as a Service space has been a completely new challenge for me, and one I’m really enjoying getting to grips with. The opportunities ahead are endless, and I’m excited to keep learning, growing, and making my mark. You’re not truly part of the team until you’ve got the T-shirt. Looking forward to what’s ahead! 💫 #NewRole #CareerGrowth #Finance #Accounting #COGS #Megaport #NetworkAsAService #TechIndustry #Brisbane #TeamCulture #ProfessionalGrowth #NewBeginnings

It's a couple of days early (May 10th), but I've officially hit 5 years (1,826 Day 1s) at Amazon Web Services (AWS) and received my orange badge. To the peers, engineers, leaders, customers, and partners I've grown with these last 5 years, I thank you. 5 years, 3 role changes, 8 managers, one promotion, and a ton of stories to tell. Now...back to work..securing intelligent machines... #aws #fiveyears

Proud of the value and flexible solutions the Althea team and products are delivering in private cellular to our partners. Many MNO and private 5G vendors are only able to offer a rigid set of hardware, but the flexible, software defined nature of #KeyLTE/5G, Althea's billing, and spectrum options like Globalstar #Band53, we can put together the right solution for the job. This yields real results, at nearly half the cost of other solutions: The result? 🔗 100% uptime 💸 0.06% error rate 📈 Doubled revenue for some vendors

From the Central Valley to the Bay Area, from Tribal lands to rural communities, we’re making real progress by working hand-in-hand with local residents and leaders and state partners.

Our investment means better service & stronger communities across the state. I’m proud of our AT&T California team and the positive impact this work is having, from education and public safety to economic opportunity and beyond.

The Bay Area isn’t just the world's tech capital. It’s RUCKUS Networks home. When Silicon Valley’s airport (San José Mineta International Airport (SJC)), right in our own backyard, needed Wi-Fi to keep thousands of travelers seamlessly connected, RUCKUS and SmartWAVE Technologies delivered. How do you deliver the U.S.’s fastest airport Wi-Fi and seamless citywide connectivity? 👉 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/dAhX7any
