Robert Morcos, Founder & CEO of NEXA (formerly Social Mobile), joins Alan Shimel on Techstrong.TV to make the case that mission-critical users — from the U.S. Air Force to first responders — should never be handed the same consumer, off-the-shelf device you'd give an 11-year-old.
Robert traces NEXA's path from a South Florida mobile-device trading business founded in 2011 to a purpose-built Android manufacturer serving healthcare, retail, defense, and critical communications. He breaks down why domestic phone manufacturing remains so hard (a single device relies on roughly 300 components and a supply chain the U.S. doesn't fully have), how NEXA is investing $100 million in domestic design, engineering, and manufacturing capability, and what its new Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the Department of Homeland Security means for testing next-generation technology before it goes commercial.
