We congratulate Roberto and Chris and salute each member of the organizations that they lead in helping people in need. Cambium Networks is glad to donate $1,Cambium NetworksCambium NetworksCambium Networks to the charities of their choice."

          "Deploying affordable, reliable wireless connectivity in remote regions around the world that currently lack it will significantly help improve the quality of life in those areas," said Daryl Schoolar, Practice Leader, Service Provider Technology at Ovum Research. "The Internet has revolutionized the way we learn, work, and communicate. Those without Internet access are at risk of being left behind both educationally and economically. The Internet gap between those with access and those without will only grow unless we find ways to bring robust broadband connectivity to everyone, everywhere. Companies like Cambium Networks are working to close this gap by working with partners to donate equipment that can be used to deliver reliable connectivity to disenfranchised communities around the world."

From his home in Ecuador, Roberto also donates his personal time working with the Rotaract organization to do social work to improve the lives of children. "I think we all come to the world with some mission," says Roberto. "I would like to think that mine is to help people with what I have and try to give back to the world a part of something that has been given to me. Doing social work to help children allows me to do that." Roberto's designated charity is Fundación Rotaria Colombia: https://www.rotary.org/es/about-rotary/rotary-foundation
