About Riccardo Burrai

Passionate about technology since he was a child, in 1997, while still a student, together with his mathematics and philosophy professors and some classmates, he created a state-of-the-art computer room, with one of the first high-speed lines, a CDN 256 run by SIP exchange of the time, and sets up a data processing center with web and mail server. After high school, he enrolled in the degree course in Telecommunications Engineering.

Riccardo's dream has always been to create an open, scalable, secure and shareable network; in fact Riccardo in the first years of university, to amortize the high costs of the first ADSL lines, shared the network with the neighbours. During his university studies, he meets Simone and coincidentally Simone, in Quarrata, shares the connection with his friends; it is precisely this coincidence that prompts them to transform, together, a passion into business (hence the "noi" translated into English in US which closes the name Si (Simone) Ri (Riccardo) US). In 2007 they founded Sirius Technology in Simone's garage in Quarrata and began to create the Toscana radio network. Since 2016 they have also extended coverage in Sardinia starting from the "Nugoro amada", Riccardo's birthplace, creating a new generation radio and fiber network in Sardinia. Using artificial intelligence and IOT sensor technologies aided by new generation protocols on IPv6, they have built an intelligent infrastructure capable of predicting, with the trend of the perturbation, the degradation of the links or the saturation of the radio and fiber optic links and anticipate the traffic engineering, conveying the priority traffic on privileged segments through the use of the SRv6 protocol.

Not only WiFi, Sirius has a business unit for the design of fiber access networks and has started to wire entire industrial areas and towns in both Sardinia and Tuscany.
