Statement of End Product Control
Banner will control end products in two primary ways. The first way is through the business
model: the RM7023 will not be for sale on the open market. The business model that the
RM7023 will be produced under is one of reusing the RM7023 across multiple versions of
Banner’s own internal products, or with close co-development efforts with trusted Banner
partners, which could culminate in Banner-manufactured devices being sold under another
brand. The second way that control will be maintained is more practical. The partitioning of
functions on the RM7023 and its carrier board keeps all the important intellectual property in the
microcontroller on the carrier board.
And because the profitability of the RM7023 doesn’t lie in licensing the manufacturing of the
modules, but rather in the IP that makes it a useful, networkable radio, it is safe to assume that
Banner will always retain control of the host systems. In summary, Banner has strong regulatory,
operational, and fiscal reasons for maintaining control over the products that the RM7023
appears in. Full compliance of the end products will always be ensured.
