Bryan Feinberg: Thanks for sitting down with us, Sean Michael Brehm:. There’s been a lot of talk about how developing nations could leapfrog older technologies by adopting the latest infrastructure. But honestly, isn’t this just a shiny pitch to hype the Company? How realistic is it to expect that decentralized edge and hybrid quantum computing can solve the real, on-the-ground challenges these nations face?
Sean Michael Brehm: OK, well let’s tackle that head on. I get where the skepticism comes from. I think it’s important to note most people today don’t really understand that developing nations have an edge over those of us in North America and Europe. They aren’t weighed down by legacy systems like older power grids or outdated data centers. They can jump straight to the most advanced tech available. What we’re doing at Spectral Capital makes more sense that what a lot in the industry is doing, trying to place huge data centers where there isn’t enough energy to support it, or even more alarming, powering it with nuclear energy. A decentralized edge and hybrid quantum computing isn’t just about giving them a shiny toy—it’s about addressing fundamental infrastructure needs. By using decentralized models, we’re able to bring the infrastructure right to where people need it most, rather than relying on outdated, slow moving, highly bureaucratic centralized systems that often don’t reach remote areas.
Overview of Spectral Capital: https://stockresearchtoday.com/quantum-as-a-service-trailblazer/
Bryan Feinberg: Why does Spectral Capital think its approach is really going to make a difference in economic development? What makes you different from the other companies claiming to do the same thing?
Sean Michael Brehm: It’s easy to get lost in the hype, and aside from my personal passion to make this happen, what makes us and our team members different is our collective commitment to local impact through Points of Presence (PoPs). These aren’t just data centers; they’re localized hubs that drive economic development directly in the communities where they’re built. For one, they create jobs—real, sustainable jobs. We’re not just flying in foreign contractors to build something and leave. We’re training local talent to operate and maintain these facilities. We’re talking about good-paying jobs, like IT technicians, network engineers, and sustainable energy specialists, and we’re compensating at global market rates. It’s not just about the tech; it’s about building local capacity. Plus, these PoPs give local entrepreneurs a real shot at competing on a global scale. Imagine a fintech startup in a rural area being able to offer instant commodity tracking and verification services on a distributed quantum ledger database technology, because the latency issues that plague traditional systems are no longer there. We’re giving people access to reliable infrastructure that’s been missing for too long. It’s not about hype—it’s about making digital empowerment a reality.
Bryan Feinberg: Fair enough, but what about foreign investors? How do you not make this just about attracting investment, rather than genuinely uplifting communities?
Sean Michael Brehm: Look, there’s no denying that attracting foreign investment is part of the equation. Investors are attracted to stability and future-proof opportunities, and having cutting-edge infrastructure sends that message loud and clear. But it’s not just about making a place attractive to investors. It’s about creating an ecosystem where local innovation can thrive—and that, in turn, brings in investment. When investors see the size of the global cloud market and they a country that’s ready to compete in the global digital economy, they’re more likely to invest in putting in a local data center with us, not just park their money in big, external projects.
Bryan Feinberg: But these places often struggle with basic things—like power. How does your solution work if the electricity is unreliable, or the cost is too high?
Sean Michael Brehm: That’s exactly why energy independence is such a huge focus for us. The traditional approach of hooking up to an unreliable power grid just doesn’t cut it. We’re leveraging the natural resources that these nations already have in abundance—solar, wind, even hydrogen—to create off-grid power solutions for our data centers. The idea is to build something that can stand on its own, without being tied to an infrastructure that’s not up to the task. And that means lower costs and more stable service for the local community. It’s about building resilience, not just infrastructure.
Bryan Feinberg: And you think renewables are enough to handle the kind of power needs we’re talking about here? I mean, data centers are notoriously power-hungry, right?
Sean Michael Brehm: They are, and that’s why we’re not just relying on one solution. It’s about a mix—solar, wind, and hydrogen all play a role. Our decentralized data centers are designed to be highly energy-efficient running 2 to 5 Mega Watts, and we’ve worked hard to make sure size these data centers appropriately so that they can operate on a mix of renewables. Think of it as creating a diversified power portfolio that’s resilient to supply shocks. Plus, these centers aren’t your traditional behemoth data centers. They’re modular, scalable, and designed to grow as the community grows, without taking more than they give back.
Bryan Feinberg: Let’s talk about connectivity. You could have all the data processing in the world, but without reliable internet, it’s just a bunch of hardware sitting there. How does Spectral tackle the connectivity challenges in these regions?
Sean Michael Brehm: You’re spot-on—connectivity is crucial. We’re going to have to partner with current fiber providers and satellite providers like Starlink and other systems to make sure even the most remote areas have reliable internet. With satellite connectivity, we’re augmenting the existing terrestrial infrastructure. It’s about making sure these data centers aren’t just connected but are part of a global network. That means reliable internet for local schools, healthcare facilities, businesses—it’s about connecting the dots for an entire community, not just a single point of interest.
Bryan Feinberg: I guess my question is, why focus on the Southern Hemisphere? Why not start with fixing things up north where all this aging infrastructure is?
Sean Michael Brehm: We aren’t only focusing on the Southern Hemisphere; it would not be a sound business decision, and we are lining up partners on a daily basis in that part of the world. Honestly, for me personally, I think the opportunity is greater in the Southern Hemisphere. There’s a chance to start from scratch, to build things the right way without being bogged down by outdated systems that require constant patching and retrofitting. It’s about building agile, sustainable infrastructure that can evolve. The Northern Hemisphere is dealing with a lot of baggage, and it’s incredibly expensive and slow to overhaul. Developing nations can take the lead here by adopting the newest, most efficient technologies from the outset, setting a new standard that’s not just on par with the global north, but that surpasses it in terms of efficiency and sustainability.
Bryan Feinberg: How does this actually impact a local community? How does it change lives on the ground?
Sean Michael Brehm: Let’s take education, for instance. Imagine a rural area where students have never had reliable internet access. By setting up a Point of Presence there, suddenly the entire school has high-speed internet. Teachers can access online resources, students can connect with peers around the world, and suddenly the educational opportunities are on par with those in the cities. Let’s go back to commodities—a local commodity producer that is providing anything ranging from cobalt to cotton can work with a San Marino company called IBA (https://iba.sm) to more efficiently get their product to market because they have the infrastructure. These aren’t just feel-good stories; they’re real, tangible impacts. We’re enabling communities to take control of their own development, giving them the tools they need to solve their own problems in ways that work best for them.
Bryan Feinberg: Some might say this is a corporate land grab—that it’s more about getting your foot in the door in emerging markets than genuinely helping people?
Sean Michael Brehm: Why can’t you do both? Benefit the shareholder and the local population. I get the skepticism, and honestly, given the track record in these countries there’s a lot of that history we need to address. But frankly, its not my history nor anyone I know or associate with. What we’re doing is different—we’re not just setting up shop and extracting resources. We’re building partnerships with local communities, investing in local talent, and making sure the benefits stay local. It’s not about imposing a solution; it’s about co-creating one that fits. We’re not interested in the old model of top-down corporate development. This is about creating a decentralized, resilient edge and hybrid cloud compute model where the power—both literally and figuratively—rests with the people on the ground.
