About RNI

Last updated on January 27, 2011

RNI supports a number of different research topics and fields of expertise. The central facility also includes a fabrication shop, render farm, internet servers, a rapid physical-to-virtual digitization capability, and a video demonstration area.

RNI was originally incorporated in 1993 and was granted S-Corporation status in 1998 by the state of Georgia. RNI offsite facilities now include Florida and California.

The Research Network is founded on the principle that the people skills produce the company. That principle is the very foundation of the distributed research approach; better, faster, cheaper. RNI personnel are innovative and the corporate structure allows for this at a lower cost.

RNI people are a unique collection of scientists, software developers, modelers, and engineers which combine in an unique way to solve most any problem. Many of us come from major university research departments and other industry leaders. A few related references are:
