OctoScope

OctoScope provides consultation and product development services for the wireless and radio frequency communications sector. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

Who is it for? Mostly companies with a specific process to automate. They also list Communications Infrastructure, Embedded Software and Wireless, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

OctoScope is based in Marlborough, Massachusetts and founded in 2006. You can read more at octoscope.com.
