Kevin, You are correct or due a public apology. Please accept my apology for the comment regarding cash position of Redline. I and any long time players in this business know Redline to be one of the good guys in this business. They have been leaders in a number of things and have earned the respect of both operators and competitors.
These are challenging times for all companies in this space. Make any list of any and all vendors large and small in this business and it is the same list as those companies feeling real pain due to this macro-economic event.

I cannot sit on my hands and not answer this libelous statement about Redline. Here are the facts: - the company is very well backed by a group of blue chip private equity investors including Matrix, USVP and GF Equity - the chairman and founder, is one of richest families in Canada, is heavily invested (largest investors in the company) and highly committed - we have $5M+ cash in the bank and have raised another $10M as announced during our last investor conference call - we had a cash flow positive Q1 and have around $20M in working capital Kevin Redline Communications Inc.

Not comforting at all. Aperto is my first choice now because I believe they use TR-069. But I wanted to see if anyone had used Airspan's Macromax product.
