We have strong market traction and engaged with world leading players, including Deutsche Telecom, Orange, BT, Colt, Facebook, and Vodafone, amongst others. Moreover, NetOS® includes a powerful Virtualization Engine which uniquely operates across different types of networks. This enables the development of “network slices” i.e. logical and isolated sub-networks which can be used like real physical networks for the development of applications. Network Virtualization enables the most efficient use of the network resources because they can be shared among many users with guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) for each service and user. | $1.2M / Convertible Note / Jun 26, 2020 | |
