Vivato shuts its doors, leaving Kent and Spokane Wi-Fi networks up in the air
Spokane firm ‘unwired’ cities that are now without the equipment or expertise
After five years and more than $65 million in venture capital, Wi-Fi equipment maker Vivato is shutting down.
The demise of the Spokane company could leave about a dozen municipalities — among them Grand Rapids, Mich., Frankfort, Ky., and Sarasota, Fla. — without the equipment or technical expertise needed to maintain their wireless networks.
A message on Vivato’s Web site said it would be unable to provide support for its products as it winds down operations.
"Ouch," said Paul Dunn, technical services manager with the city of Kent. "I am surprised."
