found in hard-to-reach locations like Alaska
or Nunavut, or in a country like Grenada
where the prohibitive cost of electricity re-
quires energy-efficient technology.
Star Solutions focuses its efforts on pro-
viding wireless infrastructure technologies
to mobile carriers, telecommunications
businesses and other companies located
in areas without access to traditional cel-
lular networks. The company has become
a pioneer in their industry, delivering voice
and broadband data services in some of
the most unlikely locations. Think cruise
ships or uninhabited wilderness or the site
of a natural disaster; these are the places
where access to reliable wireless commu-
nications is essential.
BUILDING EVERYTHING
BUT THE PHONE
The company provides two of the three
key parts needed to deliver cellular service
— the core and the base station infrastruc-
ture. The only piece the company doesn’t
build is the phone itself, Lu pointed out.
“We’re providing the cellular network equipment that wirelessly communicates
directly with all the phones.” Myles Lu, Vice President of Marketing
