April 4, 2016– SignalFire Telemetry has shipped its 20,000 th wireless node. The company reached the milestone this week by shipping a Sentinel unit to one of its distributors. SignalFire’s CTO, Scott Keller, commented, “Shipping 20,000 systems is a good milestone, but we are especially proud of our record of reliable performance. We have maintained an extremely low field-failure rate from all causes—less than 0.15%—including warranty and non-warranty.
Reliability is our number-one design driver for our equipment.” This reliability rate translates into roughly 50,000 node-years of operation with almost no interruptions.
