Meet Optos
Founded in 1998, Optos are a leading medical technology company.
Their innovative retinal imaging technology helps to identify eye disease early and save thousands of people’s sight across the globe.
Their technology can also assist in diagnosing non-eye diseases, such as diabetes and particular cancers.
The challenge
As a world leading eyecare technology company, Optos has operational bases in the UK, the USA and Australia, with plans for continued expansion into new regions in the future.
This means the company needs a robust connectivity solution that is consistent across sites worldwide, while allowing for compliance and security within a highly regulated industry.
“A global network like Vodafone is really important to our business. It allows colleagues across the world to stay connected and focus on our cutting-edge technology.”
