The commitment for seventy five (75) SI2000 Aditus Systems came through its OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and partner Iskratel.
