VIPER NETWORKS Business Summary
Viper Networks Inc. (VPER), recently rebranded as 0Wire, operates under an "Everything Wireless: Telecom+Energy" business model, generating revenue through high-volume wholesale telecommunications, smart city infrastructure deployments, and renewable energy projects. The company’s revenue streams are diversified across five primary segments: Over-the-Top (OTT) voice and messaging services, mobile virtual network enabler (MVNE) solutions, fixed wireless internet, smart city LED lighting with integrated IoT sensors, and solar energy generation. Following the strategic 2024 acquisition of 1stPoint and Endstream Communications, the company transitioned to a positive EBITDA profile by leveraging its competitive telecommunications licenses to provide mobility services in the U.S., Caribbean, and Sri Lanka. Within the micro-cap smart infrastructure market, Viper Networks competes directly with Cyberlux Corporation (CYBL), Landis+Gyr, and Ubicquia, positioning itself as a vertically integrated provider that combines 5G connectivity with green energy and municipal lighting assets. The leadership team is led by CEO and CFO Erik Levitt, who joined in late 2024 following the acquisition of his firms, 1stPoint Communications and Endstream Communications; he brings over two decades of experience in telecommunications and network engineering. Farid Shouekani serves as the Chairman and President, providing long-term continuity and oversight of the company’s international smart city pilots in Saudi Arabia and Southeast Asia. Key executive roles are rounded out by Chief Administrative Officer Kristen Vasicek, who previously served as COO of 1stPoint, and Director of Corporate Operations Charles Graham. The company’s strategic growth is supported by a significant joint venture with Choice Wireless, which provides the MVNE infrastructure necessary for 0Wire’s mobile service rollouts, and a board of advisors with deep regional expertise in the Eastern Caribbean and South Asian markets.
