History

In June 2011, the OptiRTC team partnered with ioBridge to develop smart city tech based on ioBridge's hardware solution and OptiRTC's platform.[4]

In November 2013, the OptiRTC team was assigned a patent for "Combined water storage and detention system and method of precipitation harvesting and management" that was co-invented by Marcus Quigley.[5]

In November 2014, the New York Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) selected Opti technology as the winner of the first Smart City Expo World Congress.[6]

In December 2014, OptiRTC was formally incorporated as an independent company through a spin-out from Geosyntec Consultants.[7]

In January 2015, the Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF) published a research paper on High Performance Green Infrastructure, which focused primarily on distributed real-time control of stormwater infrastructure.[8]

In January 2016, Opti began working with Particle to provide the communications layer for Opti's products.[9]

gollark: I assumed it was just a joke. And it is quite funny. But I guess it's dual-purpose.
gollark: The only message on 19 December is> 6K+ already?!?which seems pretty innocuous, so I'm assuming you're talking about the 20 December one about the (not implemented yet) restricted thing channels and will chalk this down to... time zones, or something.I'd kind of expect you to have said something in the intervening four months if this was a problem for you.
gollark: I mean, you're incoherently rambling about some rights violation and facism, so eh.
gollark: See, you're talking about it as if something happened *recently*, and whatever that is is 4 months ago.
gollark: Oh, I'll go check that.
