New TechBytes Episode: The Makoverse & the Future of Retail Connectivity

Mako Networks CRO Jon Kelly joins host Rob Grimes to share what retailers and restaurant operators are prioritizing as they plan their 2026 tech strategies.

Key themes from the discussion:

Shift back to edge computing as AI video and computer vision require faster local processing.
Hidden cost of legacy POTS lines, with some operators paying hundreds per unused line.
IoT sprawl, creating fragmented, hard-to-manage networks.
Network consolidation using secure, centralized infrastructure and intelligent failover.
The “Makoverse”, Mako’s ecosystem of pre-approved, PCI-compliant integrations that reduce vendor sprawl and onboarding time.
Emerging AI-driven cyber threats and the need for stronger network foundations.

Packed with real-world insights, this episode is essential for anyone shaping their 2026 roadmap.
