The QLIPP sensor is currently in the DVT (Design Verification Testing) Stage. This will ensure the manufacturing quality of your QLIPP sensor. After this stage we will be sending your QLIPP sensor for electronic certification (FCC and CE). What this means is we will be obtaining a license for this electronic product to be used in your geographical region. Once this certification is approved, your QLIPP sensor will be shipped immediately. In the meantime, you will also be provided with timely updates and will be kept posted of our progress. The video below is a short clip of our manufacturing process and electronic testing of our beta trial units.
With your help, we can get QLIPP into the market. Also, once we’re funded, we have plans to expand into other sports like racquetball, running, baseball and many others. Just imagine the potential.
