UpRamp can help them identify, test, develop and commercialize new technologies that can benefit the entire cable industry and beyond.

Input & Output

Co-Innovators

New ideas and partnerships are how we cultivate innovation. By joining forces with another company to pursue an idea, we can share unique skillsets, lower costs and mitigate risk, thus amplifying our chances of achieving groundbreaking results.

Commercialization Output

Licenses

By keeping our technology royalty-free (or very low fee) and our software open source, we make it equally accessible to everyone. Because companies and developers are free to build on each other's technology, without the fear of having to pay royalties, doors are opened for new improvements and innovations that may have not been possible

Commercialization Output

Government Agencies

We work with government agencies to understand public policy priorities and educate policymakers on new and emerging technologies. Increased alignment between industry and governments enables a more rapid pace of technological innovation and deployment.

Commercialization Output

Standard Bodies

Standards bodies provide the on-ramp to the global information and communication technology marketplace, enabling consumers and network operators to easily access our innovations. Engagement in these organizations promotes scale and scope and lowers the cost of incorporating new technologies.

Input & Output

Vendors

By partnering with our vendor community, we are able to bring industry awareness to their research, reduce their R&D risk and bring products to market quickly and cost effectively.

Input & Output
