Subject: BUGbase WiFi + International - You asked for it. You got it!
Hello,
BUGbase WiFi (and Le BUG, Der BUG, El BUG, etc...) - Bug Labs Going International, Shipping to Europe!
Just over two years ago when we first announced BUG,
our goal was to shake up the consumer electronics landscape by
releasing something new, something groundbreaking, something needed –
the first modular, open source device platform. A few months and
sleepless nights later, we began shipping our first units, albeit with
some changes to the original plan. We would only ship domestically to
the U.S. (due to certification requirements) and without WiFi in the
BUGbase (due to open source licensing issues). Since then we have
heard, loud and clear, that we needed to address these shortfalls. And
we've worked hard to make it happen.
Today,
I am happy to say, we're announcing the availability of BUGbase WiFi. In addition to integrated WiFi *and* Bluetooth, BUGbase WiFi is RoHS
and CE compliant, allowing us to ship BUG to the 29 countries in the
European Union. Other improvements include a friction-fit docking
connector and improved power management, along with a few other
under-the-hood enhancements. If you currently own a BUGbase, we haven't
forgotten about you – we'll be releasing a special BUGWiFi module in
the coming weeks. As you'd expect from us here at Bug Labs, all of our
modules are compatible with either base.
We're
especially thrilled to begin shipping internationally, given the great
reception we've received from Europe since day one. In traveling to
events like FOSDEM and
meeting with customers in Italy, France and other EU nations, I've
noticed the European market has a terrific appreciation for open source
approaches and community-driven innovation models. So it's safe to
say, we expect to see many interesting new BUG-powered applications in
the near future. In addition, our team is working hard getting BUG
ready for the 200 or so other countries in the world.
We
will have some more exciting product and partnership news to share in
the coming weeks so please stay tuned. In the meantime, go download
the free SDK, play around with the environment and if you like what you see head on over to our store!
