As part of our ongoing Omni Talk Spotlight Series, Chris Walton sits down with Rigado’s Chief Revenue Officer and fellow Stanford alum Kevin Tate to learn about edge computing, bluetooth connectivity, and the many use cases across retail where it all can be applied.

In this week’s episode of the Omni Talk Fast Five, sponsored by Trigo and Insignia Systems, the gang delivers one of the funniest episodes yet.

Oh, and Emma the Intern is out on Spring Break too.
