Here’s a reference for “Doctor Who” fans: Ookla employees like to say that the company’s new office, located in the University of Memphis Research Foundation (UMRF) Research Park, is the “reverse TARDIS.”
Why?
Because while the time machine in the BBC series is larger on the inside than it seems on the outside, Ookla’s office, in some ways, is larger on the outside than it seems on the inside.
In addition to the 1,800-square-foot office, employees will also have access to desk space at the U of M’s University Center and the FedEx Institute of Technology, as well as the amenities available to U of M staffers and students.
And those are just a few of the benefits Ookla could gain from entering the research park.
Landing in Memphis, and opportunities at U of M
The Seattle-based business — owned by public company Ziff Davis — is set to open its new office on May 5, after beginning renovations on the space in January. A network intelligence and connectivity insights provider, Ookla is primarily known for the consumer platforms Speedtest and Downdetector. The company has additional offices in Seattle, Denver, Dublin, Guildford, and Dubai.
