NetLync's CEO & Co-Founder, Emir Aboulhosn, recently joined renowned industry analyst Evan Kirstel on the What's Up with Tech podcast to uncover what really powers your smartphone’s most essential features — and why Entitlements-as-a-Service® (EaaS®) is quietly transforming global connectivity.

There’s a silent system behind every FaceTime call, iMessage, or smartwatch pairing: entitlements. Emir shared how these invisible connections authenticate your identity, sync services, and make every “it just works” moment possible.

 

Key insights you can learn from this podcast:

  1. Democratising Connectivity:
    How NetLync rebuilt entitlement infrastructure from scratch to make carrier-grade connectivity accessible to every operator — even those with just a few hundred subscribers.

  2. eSIM Simplified:
    With eSIM-only devices on the rise, Emir explained how NetLync’s entitlement stack enables users to activate directly from their phone’s settings — no apps, QR codes, or delays.

  3. Beyond SMS Verification:
    In partnership with Google, NetLync is pioneering direct number verification without SMS, offering faster, more secure authentication for app developers and fintech providers.

  4. From Satellites to AI:
    NetLync now powers Android Satellite Messaging and integrates AI-assisted tools that proactively identify network gaps before users experience issues.


As Emir put it:

We react incredibly fast. Who we disrupt isn’t our concern. Our goal is to move the technology forward and make it accessible to everyone.
