  • Rethinking Business Mobile with Simpler, Smarter and Fairer Connectivity

    Rethinking Business Mobile with Simpler, Smarter and Fairer Connectivity
    2026/10/09

    Business mobile has become essential to modern organisations, yet many businesses still face unnecessary complexity, rising costs and poor customer experiences when managing their mobile connectivity.

    In this episode of Digitel Talk, Ian Ginn is joined by Nick Falkowski, CEO and Co-Founder of Meaningful Planet, to discuss how a fresh approach to business mobile can deliver greater transparency, operational efficiency and sustainable growth.

    Drawing on his experience in the telecoms sector, Nick explains why traditional business mobile models are struggling to meet the needs of today's organisations and how technology is helping businesses take greater control of their connectivity, contracts and device management.

    The conversation explores the growing role of artificial intelligence, the importance of creating exceptional customer experiences, and why sustainability should be embedded into business strategy rather than treated as a separate initiative.

    Whether you're a business leader, IT decision-maker, telecoms professional or digital transformation specialist, this episode offers valuable insights into the technologies, strategies and leadership principles shaping the future of connectivity.

  • Can Plants Talk? Decoding Crop Communication with AI and Biosignals

    Can Plants Talk? Decoding Crop Communication with AI and Biosignals
    2026/10/05

    Artificial intelligence is transforming agriculture in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago.

    In this episode of Digitel Talk, host Ian Ginn is joined by Nigel Wallbridge, Executive Chair and Co-Founder of Vivent Biosignals, to explore how AI and plant biosignals are helping farmers make smarter, faster and more sustainable decisions.

    By analysing the electrical signals generated by plants, farmers can gain earlier insights into crop stress, disease and environmental changes, often before symptoms become visible. The result is improved crop protection, more efficient use of resources and a data-driven approach to modern farming.

    Nigel shares his unique journey from telecommunications to agritech, discusses the growing role of artificial intelligence in agriculture, and explains how innovative technologies are supporting food security, sustainability and climate resilience.

    The conversation offers a fascinating look at the intersection of AI, plant science and agriculture, demonstrating how technology can help address some of the most pressing challenges facing global food production.
