A factory to build communication services


You understand digitalization. It has nothing to do with 0s and 1s and has everything to do with who you are. Because who you are will define the business you build and the opportunity you create. It will predict if you use your organization’s energy for syphoning off momentum that others have created or if you add your piece to the scaffolding that makes up our world and our experiences.



We haven’t seen anything yet when it comes to the acceleration of our world. More people will participate in this virtuous circle by lowering the cost of connectivity and their ability to contribute and create value. The move to an economy that is experience-based and fueled by virtual goods is the evolution from today’s carbon economy. We want to play a part in lowering the cost of access and the cost of service to enable more people to participate. Our mantra is the automation of workflows, the use of analytics and machine learning and the abstraction of heterogeneous physical assets.

At FRINX, we use our energy to build the factory to provide communication services. Our source materials are fiber, switches, routers, radio network controllers and all the blinking boxes that make up the physical infrastructure that makes up a network. The output of our factory are services to be consumed by corporate and individual customers. We provide the tooling as well as the processes to build, operate and grow those services.

Networks are surprisingly physical at their foundation. Real fiber is carrying lightwaves, real interfaces are connecting companies and real circuits are deciding what to do with data packets. Even in the cloud. Even in mobile networks.

We build software that enables customers to create automated, repeatable, digital processes to build, grow and operate their digital communication infrastructure. FRINX is working with industry leaders like Facebook, SoftBank and Vodafone to play our part in supporting the greatness of these companies. FRINX is a privately held company with offices in Bratislava, Slovakia and New York, NY.

Second time´s a charm

Image
Conventional wisdom says that it is not a good use of time to rewrite existing code with new technologies. Nevertheless, we had an opportunity to do some of that and in our case it offered us the opportunity to reflect on our existing design choices and technology stack. Here are our initial thoughts and experiences during the process.  What we’ve realized early on was that this provides an opportunity for improving on our original design. Some issues we’ve identified manifest themselves as never-to-be-addressed TODOs and FIXMEs sprinkled throughout the codebase. Some were not evident to us as authors of the code looking through the lenses of technologies choices, frameworks and our general assumptions. That’s why a set of new technologies can be helpful in providing a fresh perspective. The other major thing that helped identify some problems was adding new members to the team. There’s nothing like a well aimed “Why?” question to make you revisit and rethink your des...
