Congrats
It's a bit disappointing about the international shipping. I'm not sure how this snuck up on them so late in the game.
Shouldn't this have been foreseeable? What happened to cause this mistake?
- nchlswu 16y agoI'm curious too. I'm an international user who's been very interested in this.
- brandon 16y agoThe problem might not be strictly shipping related. Depending on the type of bluetooth radio packaged internally, the device may have needed FCC-type registration. Of course, an FCC ID is only good in the USA. In Europe, you need a CE mark. Australia sometimes insists on yet another registration for 2.4GHz equipment. Honestly, international RF regulatory certification is a mess, and the piles of paperwork involved make it easy to miss deadlines.
- spydertennis 16y agoSpot on.
- gst 16y agoDo you assume that their might be any problem with customs (e.g., due to the CE marks) when importing those devices to Europe? If not I'm considering using Borderlinx (https://www.borderlinx.com/ https://www.borderlinx.com/) to import the device.
- brandon 16y agoIf you guys haven't already got a relationship with TÜV, you might consider talking to them about certifying your next revision. They handled all our regulatory (domestic and int'l) with a lot less difficulty (and deadline slipping) than doing it in-house.
- mmelin 16y agoYeah, I made the mistake of actually getting a bit excited again when seeing the progress reports these past weeks. The wording in this blog post and my gut feeling after a year of waiting is that shipping internationally will be very low on the WakeMate to-do list. I wish they'd just tell us up front though.
