  2. What is Ember? • Ember is the wireless embedded networking company. • Ember provides low-cost, self-organizing communication networking technology to OEMs and System Integrators. • Our initial focus is on ‘device oriented’ networks: simple to deploy; optimized for long-term, unattended operation; and which offer reliable connectivity even in challenging RF environments.

  3. Who is Ember? • Funded August 2000 by Polaris Ventures, DFJNE, Stata Ventures, Bob Metcalfe • Mgmt. Team: Adrian Tuck (CEO), Robert Poor (CTO), Andy Wheeler (Chief Scientist) • 15 full time employees • Initial push from MIT, SensIT, Media Lab sponsors
