“I wouldn’t hesitate to hire S5* Systems in other Telular project — time and time again S5 team showed that they didn’t just care about their bottom line, but Telular’s continued success. I recommend S5 Systems’ to any company that needs to reduce time-to-market of their products.”

“S5 brings together significant expertise on embedded platforms over a range of domains – Linux, RISC processors and Java VMs. They helped us expand our product offerings on to new platforms while helping improve performance of the virtual machine. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for embedded systems expertise”

“Second project was when I contacted S5* to do PV work. .. The result was a very thorough job impressively documented at a very reasonable price. Furthermore the work was done on schedule, to the day, despite the fact that the job was nearly complete by the time the Mitel process got the contract straightened out demonstrating that S5 is willing to accept reasonable risk without finger pointing to meet commitments”
