Making the Right Connections in L.A.


Los Angeles is far more than movie stars, mansions and year-round spectacular weather.  Best-known as the entertainment capital of the world, the city is also a focal point for several other sectors.  Of course, with major players in the tech, aerospace engineering, education and manufacturing fields, network connectivity is in many ways the lifeblood of the City of Angels.  Much of that connectivity can be traced to the high-rise building located at One Wilshire Boulevard.

Posted by Mary Stanhope on Mon, Mar 03, 2014 - Los Angeles is far more than movie stars, mansions and year-round spectacular weather.  Best-known as the entertainment capital of the world, the city is also a focal point for several other sectors.  Of course, with major players in the tech, aerospace engineering, education and manufacturing fields, network connectivity is in many ways the lifeblood of the City of Angels.

Los Angeles County is home to five of Forbes’ top 100 colleges in the U.S., including three in the top 34.  Higher education is extremely reliant on connectivity in today’s world, as students use the Internet for everything from getting assignments from professors to writing term papers.  The City of Angels has undoubtedly made its mark on the technology sector in recent years, as its own startup community now boasts Snapchat and Tinder, among many others.

L.A. has long been home to some of the world’s premier aerospace engineering firms as well, including:  Boeing; Northrop Grumman; Lockheed Martin; SpaceX and more. The Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) at Los Angeles Air Force Base designs, develops and purchases more than $9 billion worth of space and missile systems for the Air Force and other organizations each year.  Additionally, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena serves as the leading center for robotic exploration of the solar system in the U.S.

So while L.A. does boast some of the most “connected” stars in show business, it is also a city full of employees who rely heavily on the kind of connectivity that allows them to do their jobs effectively.  What could be more glamorous than that?
