Years ago a small telco I worked for bought an equipment from rather reputable manufacturer at some point. A year or so later we discovered a grave bug in the software. There was a month or so silence from manufacturer and they just bought all equipment back. We found out later that entire team working on this equipment was fired during restructuring by accident (!) and there wasn't any knowledge about this equipment left in the company.

These WiFi products and the associated app aren’t actually from Motorola.
As mentioned in the article, they are products of Premier LogiTech, LLC, who have licensed the Motorola brand name.
