“We’re providing the cellular network
equipment that wirelessly communicates
directly with all the phones.” They’ll install
and deploy the equipment for customers,
and then provide technical service and
support after the installation is complete.
“We get to work with a lot of unique cus-
tomers so it allows us to shine as an in-
novator,” Lu said. “I think that’s why we’ve
been able to be successful.”
Star Solutions has several innovative proj-
ects underway. One of their leading ad-
vancements is the deployable IMPAC
system, which is ideal for situations that
require portability and rapid deployment.
The entire network can fit into a backpack,
Lu said, and is valuable during incident re-
sponse for police activities, emergencies
such as wildfires, tracking a lost person in
a remote area or disaster relief. “We have
deployed a few units for testing purposes
in Canada,” Lu said. The patent-pending
technology weighs about 13 kilograms and
allows the user to have access to emer-
gency communications in any situation.
“This year we’re actively promoting it so
we expect adoption and growth in terms
of sales and opportunity would be next
year,” Lu said. “It’s something we’re really
excited about and working on.”
