Why does Summit restrict software access?
The types of devices into which Summit radios are typically installed are wide and varied with different processors, operating systems, applications and peripherals. As such, the possibility of a new software release causing unintended issues is far greater for Summit than is the case for a company that serves a less varied market. As such, Summit works closely with OEM customers to make sure that new Summit releases operate as expected in their devices. Summit leaves it to the OEM to certify a Summit release for their particular products and then make it available to their customers and partners. As such, Summit does not provide software access to resellers, integrators or end users. Summit does, however, make our software available to a limited number of distributors who serve “after market” customers such as those that are installing Summit radios into standard PDAs and PCs.
