Rob Taylo has been a part of the wireless technology industry for more than a decade and is an active member of the American Bus Association, United MotorCoach Association and the American Public Transit Association, as well as being a board member of Joint Council on Wireless Technology — Wireless Technology Committee.
Taylo is founder and CEO of SinglePoint Communications, an exclusive U.S. distributor of WiFi in Motion — a suite of products designed to offer high-speed wireless Internet on public transit vehicles.
Due to Taylo's leadership, SinglePoint's product offerings go beyond Wi-Fi to include software that generates ad revenue, GPS tracking, credit card verification, real-time CCTV footage and more.
His recent work with the Santa Clara Valley Transit Authority (VTA) brought the agency a nomination as a finalist in the California Transportation Foundation's 23rd annual CTF Transportation Awards. In the category of Transit Project of the Year, VTA and SinglePoint were recognized for their introduction of free high-speed Wi-Fi in commuter buses and trains throughout Silicon Valley.
New Technology
"I love delivering new, innovative technology to the transportation industry. Nothing brings me more satisfaction when I see an article or news feed about how our technology has improved the commute for our clients' passengers.
"I have always been a creative soul. When you marry that entrepreneurial spirit with a passion for technology, the outcome is a fun, small business that looks to change the way transportation companies function."
Making Transit the Choice
"The industry offers vast amounts of opportunity. I love being able to step in to a transit operator's day-to-day operations and offer advice on how to improve and enhance their passenger's experience. SinglePoint is all about improving the ride for all parties; both the operator and the passenger.
"I would like to see more and more transit operators adopt cutting-edge technology. When doing this, you will only attract more passengers which means that many fewer cars are on the road. Public transit can and should be the optimal choice for commuters. Delivering “sticky services” like onboard Wi-Fi will help ensure those seats are filled."
Outside the Office
"Family comes first and foremost for this guy. I am the proud father of three amazing kids, Will (8), Addison (6) and Kenedi Wrigley (1) and the husband to the best wife a guy could ask for (Niki). I am a huge Cubs fan (kids names may offer a clue there), an occasional golfer and I love taking road trips."
