"I Quit my Job because I Wanted to have More Success Faster" 33 year old Robert Pera was born and raised in San Carlos, which is not far away from Silicon Valley. His father worked as a business consultant and his mother as a public relation officer. From the early teen years, Pera has been passionate about internet and computer technologies. He had to miss a high school year due to a rare form of heart-valve infection; however, he managed to get admission at <http://www.ucsd.edu/> UC San Diego for undergraduate degree in electrical engineering and Japanese. He continued his studies at the same university and completed a Master's in electrical engineering with specialization in circuit design. On completion of studies, he was hired by <https://www.apple.com/> Apple as a hardware engineer and worked on the Airport Wi-Fi base station. Soon, he realized that he was looking for more success and money and he finally quit Apple to pursue his own dreams. Ubiquiti Networks Soon after Pera quit Apple, he started exploring business opportunities in Wi-Fi technologies. In March 2005, he accumulated his savings and credit card cash and thus he got $30,000 to invest in a company he named <http://www.ubnt.com/> Ubiquiti Networks. June 2005, Pera launched its first product series "Super Range" mini-PCI radio cards SR2 and SR5. The cards were an instant hit and they were purchased by several small and medium scale Wireless Internet service providers worldwide. The "Super Range" modules would operate at the 2.4 and 5.8 GHz bands and would use Atheros chipset. Currently, the company sells four major products: airMAX (MIMO TDMA protocol Systems); airFiber, airVision (the next-generation H.264 IP Camera Management System) and UniFi (a revolutionary WiFi system) Pera aspires to push his company to a greater height and get it the reputation of <http://www.cisco.com/> CISCO. He says 'success is a matter of identifying opportunities and putting in clear and concise efforts in right direction'. <http://www.wispa.org/where-there-is-a-wisp-there-is-a-way> Where there is a Wisp, there is a way!
