BERLIN — Greek wireless LAN developer EZ-y.net will take on large competitors in the U.S. through a new Utah-based manufacturing and distribution center.
EZ-y.net plans to launch a line of high-power wireless LAN equipment in the fall that competes with products from Motorola and Ubiquiti Networks, said CEO Dimitrios Sidiropoulos, based at the company's headquarters in Veria, Greece.
The company has been selling its products in Europe, but the EU places regulatory limits on high-power wireless equipment, he said.
Last month, the company opened a manufacturing and distribution center in Draper, Utah to handle the North American market.
EZ-y.net develops embedded software for a semiconductor solution that is fabricated in Asia. The electronics are housed in enclosures for indoor and outdoor use.
Competitors include Motorola Canopy antennas and similar wireless equipment from Ubiquiti Networks, Sidiropoulos said.
EZ-y.net believes its products have higher performance at about the same price. The US manufacturing and distribution office will help keep costs down by saving on shipping costs from Greece, where the units have been produced.
