FreeWave Technologies, Inc. is a B2B company based in Boulder, Colorado where it manufactures and designs frequency hopping, spread spectrum and licensed data radios. Wireless data solutions are utilized in industrial, scientific, military, and commercial applications. The U.S. Army is one of their biggest customers. The company also conducts network design, path studies, and pre-installation engineering services to ensure reliable, error free data-flow under any condition and in all environments. FreeWave is the only long term radio provider with 100 percent backward compatibility with older products. All radios are manufactured locally in Boulder, Colorado and tested to operate over the temperature range of -40°C to +75°C.
FreeWave Technologies,
manufacturer of the most reliable, high-performance spread spectrum and licensed radios
for critical data transmission, today announced that it has distributed its 32nd consecutive
bonus payout to its employees. Two times a year, the company rewards its employees with
a bonus, which it consistently has paid since FreeWave hired its first employee in 1995.
The bonus is based on profitability and growth, and is distributed in the form of both cash
and contributions to employee-managed pension plans. This bonus distribution is a
reflection of the company’s dedication to attracting and retaining a highly skilled and
motivated workforce. FreeWave averages seven years in regards to employee retention and
also has very little turnover. In addition, the company continues to invest in its success by
increasing its workforce last year by almost nine percent and expanding its geographical
presence around the globe.
“FreeWave’s team continues to focus on customers each and every day – from the
employees in manufacturing to the senior management and executive staff,” explained
Ashish Sharma, chief marketing officer (CMO) and general manager of products at
FreeWave. “Our employees are the lifeblood of our organization and are dedicated to
serving our customers in the highest quality manner. We believe our success is a direct
result of their contributions and we are happy to reward them through these semi-annual
bonus payouts among other benefits.”
Although employment rates remain unstable throughout the U.S., FreeWave has
continued to add to its team – almost nine percent last year -- in order to maintain its topnotch
customer service. With new international radio solutions launched and more in
development, FreeWave plans to make its mark globally this year. In addition, the
company has continued to increase its efforts within renewable energy and utility
markets, such as Renewable Energy and Smart Grid, while remaining a leading provider
of wireless data radio solutions for industries, such as oil and gas, military, agriculture
and more.
“In 2011, we expect to see our global presence increase dramatically,” explained Sharma.
“With our recent launch of new licensed radios for international use and additional global
products in development, we will be able to meet the needs of customers with
installations overseas and will aim to secure new customers by offering new solutions
that meet their needs.”

performing, lowest power consumption, spread spectrum and licensed radios for missioncritical

support that is unparalleled in the market.
It is an exciting time to be at FreeWave Technologies.

In a time of economic uncertainty, FreeWave Technologies is rock solid and offers unparalleled benefits to its employees. We have a stellar past and an even brighter future
FreeWave Technologies in Boulder, Colorado continues to buck the trends and conventional practices popular today. How? FreeWave presented every employee with a bonus on January 16, 2009. The company has paid this bonus every six months since the first one was paid in July 1995. Payments are based on company profitability and individual performance.
Everyone knows that today’s headlines across the country and on the Web are shouting “layoffs, spending cuts and bankruptcies.” Bonus programs are eliminated in many companies and cut way back in many others. Numerous companies are severely cutting costs and paring back in order just to keep their operations afloat.
How is FreeWave able to continue this success story in these times? From the outset, Co-founders Steve Wulchin and Jonathan Sawyer believed that to succeed, they needed to make ongoing investments in everything that is required to serve their customers. This ranges from the decision to have their own manufacturing facility in Boulder to the technologies used to design, develop, test and manufacture their wireless radios to hiring the best talent. “We have a very driven viewpoint that everything the company does must relate to its customers,” said Colin Lippincott, FreeWave spokesperson. “And it works. That is how and why we can continue to make investments while others are retrenching.”
The bonus story is a great one to tell. But, there is more. Lippincott says that over the past year, FreeWave has invested in expanding its facility to accommodate more staff; growing its manufacturing space and capabilities; dedicating more resources and technology to its product development; increasing its customer and partner training; and, investing in marketing and sales. In addition, the company has expanded into several new markets, both domestically and internationally, which is helping offset business lost to industries that aren’t faring as well during these tough economic times.
