Some pretty cool companies have started out in a garage, but our products (including our FCC certified systems) are programmed, assembled, warehoused, and shipped from here in Hastings, Minnesota at our very nice facility in the industrial park. Software development happens in a few other locations.
We aren't Cisco for sure, but we are a nice sized group of people working very hard to bring out quality products for as low a price as we can. We think we do a pretty good job, but that's for others to decide not us. Our systems are quietly and effectively used by many government entities, WISPs, and other customers around the world. It wouldn't surprise me if some people did not realize that though, as we don't do a good job of telling everyone about it. I think you'll like what you see from us in the coming months, and we will work on doing a much better job of letting everyone know what we are up to. Our support for WISPA is going to be an integral part of that plan. Regarding a manufacturer selling directly to its customers, I suggest you discuss that with Michael Dell.

Is Cisco not a real manufacturer? Don't you have to pay for design work and training classes and that with them or pay for advanced support there? If you want free support then you could look at things like Dlink or Linksys. You have free support there directly from the manufacturer. Last I heard from StarOS they where a 2 people team doing sales and software development and selling OEM hardware. Some people love their software but some dislike them much. They changed code base three times. Most support you will get you will find in their forums or on mailing list such as this one. If they have hired on some more and actually trying to get out of the "garage" then we might consider them as a real alternative but when they started selling hardware and become direct competitor and basically gave away their software with hardware sales we stopped support them and sell their products. Never good when a "manufacturer" start directly compete with resellers and distributors. /Eje Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile -----Original Message----- From: "Jerry Richardson" <jrichard...@aircloud.com> Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2009 17:51:20 To: WISPA General List<wireless@wispa.org> Subject: [WISPA] StarOS/Valemount ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
