Osterhout Design Group Announces Reticle Connect™ Global Partner Program


Osterhout Design Group (ODG), the leading Smart Glass designer and manufacturer, today announced that it is launching its Partner Program, Reticle Connect™, comprised of Resellers and Value Added Resellers (VARs).

It ensures commercial customers worldwide can buy ODG hardware and have the option to work with trusted, knowledgeable and skilled design experts who can develop customized software applications for ODG's industry-leading head-worn system.

"Building the right distribution and support channels, and offering compelling content, is critical to accelerating the adoption of our groundbreaking devices and continuing ODG's strong growth, and we are pleased to launch our partner network Reticle Connect," said Pete Jameson, COO of ODG.
