The relationship between NgenX and KMB will enable expedited design validation for solution concepts and will shorten the timelines for permitting and construction being licensed nationally. In addition, KMB’s tenure in the telecom space will allow for continued expansion into the “edge” computing market by leveraging existing telecom experience and coupling this experience with decades of knowledge in the energy sector. “Our ability to complete innovative design solutions with expert resources and a broad footprint will create new and exciting opportunities for both of our firms,” stated Stephen A.
