Donations are one way that your company can help improve our services and
offerings, by helping to provide resources that allow for development that
normally would be prohibitively expensive or impossible to purchase directly.
Member companies are required to provide implementations to test, but donations
are a way for a company to help expedite our development cycles and provide an
increased level of service offerings above and beyond what regular membership
fees cover.
As a non-profit organization, donations to the UNH-IOL are tax deductible.
Member and non-member companies often arrange to donate equipment and materials
because they know that it will foster the UNH-IOL's ability to develop new services, and that donated equipment will have a high visibility to every other company that visits our facility for testing or
Group Test Events.
Here are some examples of donations that have been made in the past:
- Test equipment:
- Oscilloscopes
- Analyzers
- Cable test gear
- Traffic generators
- Singlemode and multimode fiber plants
- CAT-5, CAT-5e and CAT-6 cable plants
- Cable/fiber management systems
- Termination equipment and tools
- Patch panels and modular systems
- Cabling connectors and interconnects
- Switches, repeaters, and routers
- Workstations for testing and development
- 19" and 23" equipment racks
- KVM switches
- Printers, NAS, and SAN systems
- HP-UX, BSD, Solaris, IRIX, OSX, True64Unix, Linux, and VMS servers and
software
- Power distribution equipment, power conditioners, and DC supply systems
- Technical and training books, publications, and manuals
- Presentation systems, projectors, and training materials
- CAD/CAE software and systems
If your company is interested in donating equipment, products, solutions,
parts, or expertise, please feel free to
