About James Body
With over 40 years experience with Telecommunications Systems, James has been described as a ‘Walking Wikipedia for Communications Systems’. As an energetic exponent of Open Source software he has been intimately involved with projects like Asterisk, Kamailio, and FreeSWITCH since their inception. For the 10 year period between 2006 and 2016 he was responsible for much of the really innovative components of Truphone as it evolved from the World’s first mobile VoIP operator into a fully fledged International Mobile Network Operator with a huge high end user community. Having demonstrated the art of building Open Source based Mobile Network infrastructure at the Telecoms Application Developers events (TAD Summit) and being selected by the Small Cell Forum as Global Operator Champion for Multi Operator Neutral Host (MONeH) Small Cells, he left Truphone in November 2016 to bootstrap a new company with the specific aim of building all of the components required to enable privately owned publicly accessible mobile networks, starting with a solution to solve the problem of Rural Not-Spots.
James has spent the past 5 years co-hosting the weekly VUC Podcast [ VUC.me ].
