As a RIPE Atlas sponsor, you can choose to sponsor existing probes in the network, or distribute the probes yourself, while earning credits for each probe you sponsor that can be used to perform your own measurements and gain valuable information about your own network(s). If you distribute your own probes, you can now include your own logo on them. For more information about becoming a RIPE Atlas sponsor, please email <a href="mailto:mcb@ripe.net">mcb@ripe.net</a>.<br><div><br></div><div>You may also want to consider hosting a RIPE Atlas anchor. Anchors are both enhanced RIPE Atlas probes with more measurement capacity, as well as regional measurement targets within the greater RIPE Atlas network. There are currently 46 active anchors deployed around the globe that are providing valuable information about the regional connectivity and reachability of the Internet. Learn more about anchors at <a href="https://atlas.ripe.net/about/anchors">https://atlas.ripe.net/about/anchors</a><br><br>If you simply wish to distribute RIPE Atlas probes without financially supporting the project, we invite you to become a RIPE Atlas ambassador by helping us hand out probes at meetings or conferences, to your colleagues, or through other channels.
