Company Updates
Throughout 2020, the GUAQ team worked hard to refine our robust air quality monitoring solution, grow our team, and expand our reach with new contacts and use cases. We have deployed numerous test units to study and refine the integration of our whole product ecosystem. We are looking forward to broadening our reach with new outreach endeavors coming soon!
Our software team has continued to refine the performance and stability of our monitor firmware and backend infrastructure, as well as make tremendous progress on our mobile application. This application will enable individuals to directly work with and view their air quality data. We anticipate releasing the application in the upcoming months. On the hardware side, the GUAQ team has made significant progress on enhancing the monitor hardware to bring new functionality and flexibility to our ecosystem.
Along with our technical achievements, we are excited to be welcoming many new members onto the GUAQ team in numerous domains including hardware, software, data analysis, marketing, and more. With our expanded team, we have created new logos and graphics to reflect our growth as a company.
In the new year, we are looking forward to deploying more monitors to areas in need around the world. We strive to be a resource for these communities to advocate for air quality reform and discover ways to improve living conditions around the world.
