ng Connect Program members span a wide range of industries and markets, with the common goal of working together with Service Providers to quickly and efficiently deliver large-scale and successful deployments of next generation services. Our members have proven their leadership in a specific market or industry segment and include innovators in infrastructure, devices, applications and content—the entire ecosystem that a service provider requires for successful deployment of new technologies that lead to the next generation of user experiences.
There are two types of membership in the ng Connect Program:
Associate Membership: An introductory category that allows new members to join the program quickly and easily, to identify possible collaboration opportunities. We are not currently accepting new Associate Members. See a list of Associate Members.
Collaborating Membership: A category of deeper engagement in marketing, ideation and service concept development for the mutual benefit of the member company and the ecosystem. See a list of Collaborating Members.
