“Along with our partners, we have a deep history of serving the FCC. We are excited to return to the Commission and work with Nüvitek, Emprata, and DefyneIT,” said Brian Funk, Vice President of Technology Solutions at Octo. “Our technical solutions, including Octo’s oLabs™ accelerators, will provide the FCC with a new full-service system that supports the FCC’s Auction Program.”
