Telecommunications, software, public safety

Preston Ursini

I build and operate fiber networks, public safety communications systems, and the software that keeps both moving.

Current Work

Preston Ursini is an American entrepreneur, software engineer, telecommunications executive, and technology advocate. His work is centered on broadband infrastructure, public safety communications, and practical software systems.

Communications infrastructure is not a luxury item. It affects education, healthcare, public safety, business operations, local government, and daily life. That view shapes the companies Preston operates and the policy issues he pays attention to.
