Team Work Makes The Dream Work

Our Passion

We believe WHY people do what they do is just as important, if not more so, than WHAT they do, or how they do it. At Open Spectrum, our passion is data centers and the entire marketplace that surrounds them. Through form or function, large or small, they are an integral and ever-evolving key to the brave new digital world we live in.

Our Values

We are servant leaders who firmly believe that the short- and long-term strength and success of our company is entirely dependent on the values of the individuals within our organization. To this extent, our values drive our purpose and are the primary filter we leverage when making decisions as a company.
