Tnx. A breadboard is a reusable solderless device used to build a (generally temporary) prototype of an electronic circuit and for experimenting with circuit designs. This is in contrast to stripboard (veroboard) and similar prototyping printed circuit boards, which are used to build more permanent prototypes or one-offs, and cannot easily be reused. A variety of electronic systems may be prototyped by using breadboards, from small circuits to complete central processing units (CPUs).

So in a nutshell, Cupria is probably in the early prototype stage. Maybe since the abandoned the old code, they are back to being in a development stage.

Thanks for the clarification, Tim.

"Breadbox" or "breadboard," it is still, most probably, a wonderfullyFLAWED idea that made it to a laptop somewhere, but never has been successfully developed. Certainly, not to a commercially feasible status. All IMHO.

Spoke:

On the Rim website is states that the product is a development system "engineered to simplify the testing, evaluation and qualification process for R&D and product development teams" By "breadbox", he likely means that there are only products for testing available vs. anything that the telco or consumer can use today for deployment.

The test results represent a breakthrough if they are validated by the industry, but without disclosing all of the test parameters, I am not certain that they mean much (as the company designated itself "best in class".)

None of this really tells how long it would take to go to the fab if there are ever purchase orders.
