Hello, Air Lab backers! We achieved a big milestone this week: certification is complete! This means all the Air Labs are now in production, and we are getting ready for final assembly and shipping. Here is an overview of the latest developments and an updated shipping date estimate.

Certification & Production

After a long certification process, we passed all required tests for shipping the Air Lab internationally. This means both the device and the battery are now certified, and we can move on with the production of the devices. This process was complex and time-consuming, but luckily we found partners who helped us navigate it.

With this hurdle cleared, manufacturing of all pre-ordered Air Labs is now underway. We should receive the assembled PCBs in two weeks. Then, we’ll continue with the final assembly at our office. All other components are already in stock or currently being shipped to us.

Estimated Shipping Date

Unfortunately, the certification took longer than expected and thus we’ve not been able to fulfill our hopes to ship by the end of October. Even though we’re doing our best to deliver the Air Lab as fast as possible, import and shipping conditions around the end of the year are challenging and may cause further delays. Based on that, we estimate that orders will be fulfilled in early January.

However, we’re working hard with everyone in the supply chain to squeeze every day that’s possible in the hope of delivering the devices to you before the Christmas holidays. #FingersCrossed

Next Steps

Once the PCBs arrive, we will power through the assembly as fast as we can to ship all your orders to Mouser. From then on, they will be in charge of the delivery of your Air Labs. Meanwhile, we are focusing on improving the software experience of our browser-based tools and on-device firmware, thanks to the great feedback gathered from our beta testers.

That’s all for now. Thanks a lot for your support and patience. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
