You want;

- Something cheep
- Less than a container load (so low volume pricing applies)
- Free TCP/IP stack with SNMP ready made

Hmmmmm

Why not just buy the $15USD Chinese unit and pay for the additional design cost to re-design it to your specifications.

If you are confident in the sales of your idea/product then put up the money! or Get a bank to put up the money!


There are 4 factors in developing a product
1. Quality
2. Cost
3. Time
4. Experience

If you affect any factors the others will be effected also.

So with limited design experience (for this project) it may take longer time or cost more money or quality may be poor.

With too cheep cost - quality or time may be effected.

All these thing should measured up against the study of your product in the market place.


The other question you should ask is - how will my product differentiate it self in the market place?
