The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and and WISP customers that we supply with open off-the-shelf solutions that comply with the FCC Part 15 requirements," said Glenn Farrow farrow see farrowing. , managing director of aCure Technology.
