Industrial Designer David Shaw of Metaform Product Development, a San Francisco based product development company, recently completed the conceptual design of an innovative Wi-Fi device for the start-up company, Firetide. The Firetide HotPoint Mesh Router gives people the ability to quickly and easily deploy large instant Wi-Fi networks and internet hot zones without expensive and disruptive cabling, extensive technical knowledge or site planning.

Its ease of use, hassle free installation, and flexibility is reflected in its distilled, minimalist design. Ventilation slots and holes serve as stacking registration and capture points for the detachable metal wire hook/stand. The ingeniously simple and cost-effective hook/stand allows the device to stand vertically, hang on a partition, and even double as a wire manager should the optional cable connectors be used. Firetide's HotPoint won the prestigious DEMOgods Award at the 2004 DEMOmobile Conference as well as "Best of Show" honors at the 2004 Wi-Fi Planet Expo.
