SS8 (SS8 Networks, Inc.) has announced that it has acquired OCI Mobile, a technology provider specializing in providing highly secured surveillance solutions to government organizations.  OCI’s unique and patented technology will become an integral part of SS8’s security solutions portfolio.  

With the acquisition, SS8 welcomes a team of talented technology professionals, led by Derek Roga, former CEO of the UAE outfit, who will manage global business development for SS8.

The new team will operate out of Dubai, strengthening SS8’s  position in this strategic and expanding region.
