This approach allows mobile networks to evolve beyond connectivity into a core layer of the digital economy. With strong backing from both technology giants and telecom leaders, ODC is positioning itself at the intersection of AI and connectivity. The funding will be used to accelerate commercial deployments, expand global partnerships, and scale its platform throughout 2026, as demand grows for infrastructure capable of supporting AI-driven applications and next-generation networks.
