News from the Stockholders Meeting:
In retrospect, there was really a lot of info disclosed that filled in the gaps.
The telecom companies that attended the 2006 Demo in San Diego in support of Platforms Recom system were Ericsson and Alcatel-Lucent, who are the companies selected to provide the base stations for the Recom System.
Base-X is the strategic partner that purchased the Rosetta radio systems; one commercial and one military. There is a contract for up to 10 Rosetta systems in the works with the Marines at Camp Pendleton. The military system goes for around $60,000 each.
New product is called Skytower, an small transportable aerostat system that lifts various antennas up to a 200 foot elevation or higher for greater range. Price is going to be between $200,000 and $300,000.
Most importantly, the USDOD in Colorado Springs has selected the Recom system as a product that they intend to use. Platforms has been added to an existing IDIQ (the internet definition is Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity) contract as a subcontractor at the request of the DOD, but Platforms and the prime contractor have NOT finalized the terms of the contract.
About 45 people attended the meeting.
There are more details but now I'm taking the rest of the evening off for dinner and kick-back
