AeroComm Founders Named Winners
of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year® 2005 Award
June 28, 2005
Lenexa, Kansas, USA
Michael Varady and Dan Miller
were named winners by professional services firm Ernst & Young
LLP for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2005
Awards in the Central Midwest Technology category. Mr. Varady
and Mr. Miller were selected from 20 finalists in the area by
an independent panel of judges comprised of local business, academic
and community leaders and announced at an award banquet on June
23rd at the Hyatt Regency Crown Center.
AeroComm's founders have played a major role in the short-range
RF industry for over a decade with consistent technological advances
in both performance and price. Their company made waves in 1994
by gaining FCC approval for the first 2.4GHz spread spectrum transceivers.
Soon after, they introduced a groundbreaking $200 digital sequence
commercial module.
In 1996 AeroComm shifted to frequency hopping for greater interference
immunity in any environment. Mr. Varady's innovative design techniques
resulted in superior modules using inexpensive materials-producing
a cost-per-module that suited vastly more applications and enabling
AeroComm to break the $100 price barrier in 1998.
Responding to the growing demand for affordable yet versatile
wireless, the company quickly developed the first complete line
of 2.4GHz OEM RF transceivers. These products were backed by AeroComm's
own automated radio testing system, measuring all critical parameters
and assuring the highest quality.
Today, Mr. Varady and Mr. Miller continue to support a myriad
of applications where wireless was previously cost-prohibitive.
Their robust proprietary technology, manufacturing and testing
guarantee reliable communication, while lower frequencies (i.e.
900MHz) and fewer parts allow for reduced prices.
Mr. Varady and Mr. Miller will be eligible for consideration for
the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2005 national program. Winners in
several national categories, as well as the overall national Ernst
& Young Entrepreneur Of The Year, will be announced at the
annual awards gala in Palm Spring, Calif. on November 19, 2005.
