@sinkorswim You know how we were both questioning Xped's need for the hub and how that might be a hurdle along the way to revenues? Looks like it's a rather simple solution and not really a hurdle at all. Here's an extract from an article posted over in the media thread. This makes me

"The heart of its system, however is the ADRC Hub. This manages the initial setup of a new device and maintains the direct communication with it. The smartphone app then communicates with the device via the hub using WiFi or, remotely, the cellular network.
Stefanac said the hub was “essentially software” that could be deployed in a number of ways.

“The deployment depends upon the application. We can provide it on USB stick that you could plug into your wireless router. It could be software on a PC or smartphone, or it could be in the cloud.”

He said that Xped was already in discussions with a possible cloud service provider partner but also that device manufacturers might prefer to make their own arrangements."

Have a read of the article. Lot's of good stuff in there including mentions of customer deals in progress (as being discussed in the media thread).
