Partners work jointly with OCCAID and other partners to deliver and promote leading technologies to audience that could benefit, and through collaboration, develop new ongoing technologies.
• Infrastructure Partnership: OCCAID partners with infrastructure partners to obtain easier financing, physical and human resources to operate perhaps one of the biggest R&D backbone networks in existance today. Vendors and carrier industries are welcomed to participate to promote and test their products in our environment, and are also welcomed to invest any resources that could become beneficial to the network.
