Delete per WP:NCORP - the most-cited source in this article is the Arizona Business Journal, a product of American City Business Journals, which describes itself as offering "business leaders many avenues for making connections and gives them a competitive edge locally, regionally and nationally. ACBJ is the premier media solutions platform for companies that target business decision-makers", so appears to generally lack independence from the subjects of its coverage. The source also substantially relies on quotes from WeLink President Luke Langford and focuses on trivial coverage of an expansion [...] of the business, a mention of a raised capital, and a brief synopsis of personnel, so does not provide sufficient WP:CORPDEPTH with WP:ORGIND. The next source in the article is Light Reading, which has trivial coverage related to hiring of personnel, and there is trivial coverage of raised capital published on the inaccessible Fierce Wireless website (but a press release was published several days earlier, also covered by the TechCrunch source in the article). Light Reading is also cited for coverage substantially based on statements by Langford and founder, chairman and CEO Ross about the expansion to Las Vegas and Phoenix. There is also a brief mention of the company in an announcement related to Washington, DC implementing internet subsidies. The remaining sources in the article are similar or worse in terms of supporting notability with WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND in reliable sources, and an online search finds more press releases and apparent churnalism of trivial coverage.
