Greg LaBrie, Vice President of Technology Solutions at Worldcom Exchange Inc. (WEI), joined Technology Reseller News Publisher Doug Green to discuss how AI and next-generation connectivity—anchored by WEI Connect and Starlink—are reshaping enterprise networking.

WEI, a long-standing value-added reseller founded in 1989, has evolved into a provider of integrated IT and connectivity solutions. With WEI Connect, the company is bringing enterprise-grade structure, visibility, and support to emerging technologies like Starlink, transforming them into fully managed, business-ready services.

LaBrie described AI in telecom as the foundation for self-healing, autonomous networks driven by telemetry and real-time decision-making.

“For us, AI means having networks that are self-healing and autonomous—collecting data, making decisions, and keeping users connected without them even knowing it’s happening,” he said.

Starlink plays a central role in this vision, using AI to dynamically select satellites and ground connections to maintain performance. WEI enhances this capability by aggregating data through APIs, applying predictive analytics, and integrating SD-WAN intelligence to determine the best available connection—whether satellite, fiber, or 5G—on a per-application basis.

The result is an outcome-based network where connectivity is seamless and resilient. Users experience uninterrupted service—even during live sessions—as traffic is automatically routed across the optimal path. This approach not only improves uptime but also enables new use cases, including real-time telemetry collection in remote or hard-to-reach environments.

Looking ahead, WEI sees continued advances in AI-driven automation, with increasing amounts of data enabling more predictive and autonomous network management. As enterprise reliance on connectivity grows, LaBrie emphasized that organizations will benefit from fewer outages, improved performance, and simplified support through partners that unify multiple technologies into a single, managed experience.
