    Sounds like they're making gov't stuff now.
    Their update was not only disappointing, it actually made things worse.
    Their update was that there is no update for Theia. And they mentioned waiting a "long time" before you hear about it again.
    As if 4 years already wasn't long enough.
    If you have been waiting to buy a detector, I would stop waiting and just buy a V1G2 or Uniden R8.
    I have no hopes of Theia coming any time until at least 2025 if I had to guess. They seem preoccupied with a new "shiny" thing to work on.
    My guess is they ran into financial troubles and had to pivot, now getting gov't grants. Makes sense. Disappointing though.

      They posted about 1 hour after Vortex posted. There's no way they set up their entire filming area, calibrated the cameras, filmed multiple takes, edited, exported, uploaded, waited for CZcams to process the video (which btw takes an avg. of 45 mins for a small sized 5 minute video just to "process" on YT's servers), and then published it, all within that 1 hour. That is ridiculous. It takes hours and hours to create a decent quality video for CZcams. 😹

    It is normal for manufacturers to create several iterations of a product before they bring it to market.

      No, it isn't, and one of many reason code names are used: I use to work for Samsung Electronics America and we had code names with Rev versions for final betas but even those betas often were replaced by a second or third (or more) beta revisions until it went v1 public launch, even then such as Note or FE editions we had 2nd/3rd revisions of parts and even models still then with many alpha/beta builds, calling it 2 implies a second version not revision.

Sounds like more spin from Jon to stay in a tier he never earned a seat at the table to be considered among the champions in the market when they literally use the same exact hardware from the same manufacturer as Uniden, like they would have DIED with the Pro M if not for reputable people like Ariel drumming up hype for what seemed like awesome tech, like I wouldn't have ever known of them and just bought the R8 rather than DS1 for having BT and linking with Highway Radar if not for visibility to their name for years at that point all thanks to the lie Theia is, straight vaporware.

      Do you not understand how hardware iteration works? It would be stupid to call it the same thing when it’s gone through a complete hardware redesign. I get that you don’t own one, so to you it is only a concept. But for the people actually designing the hardware, when you start making major changes, it would make no sense to refer to it as the old hardware when it isn’t that anymore. I work in RF electronics for a living on very similar technology as what Radenso is working on, except a much, much grander scale. We would treat any major hardware revision the same way.

Hopefully we will start manufacturing integrated circuits in the USA again soon so we don't have these delays in the future. Meanwhile, I think the SDR / modular design concepts are fascinating. This will make Theia even more supercharged and awesome than it is already. It will be good to see if Theia 2 will have an ability to interface with laser equipment. I'm still super-excited :D

    When a company promises they're releasing their new product by the end of the year and THEN WAITS until the end of December to announce it isn't coming and then .....wait for it.....releases a video a year later saying a few more years for Theia 2 (um, did I somehow miss Theia 1???), you couldn't make this stuff up. We'll never see any Theia for the vehicle detector market. They're chasing bigger money and the vehicle radar detector market is small money in comparison.

    The defense industry has fallen in love with software defined radio, AI and machine learning threat classification and pretty much everything Jon & crew have been working on. Maybe radar detectors was once his goal and passion, or maybe not. But when you are a small company who have assembled a team of very smart engineers working on very sought after technology that is just applicable to warfare as it is highway safety, you have set yourself up to have insanely large amounts of cash being offered for your and your team… I can assure you that there are other small startup companies, that none of you have heard of because you don’t work in this space, that are all working on similar tech who are vying for that same money. Theia may have just been a well executed marketing stunt, not to attract a niche market of radar detector enthusiasts, but rather other industries with much deeper pockets. Good for Radenso.

    That’s a positive! Since radenso isn’t able to use the more expensive high quality components in theia, shouldn’t that then bring down the cost of the end product when Theia is actually finally released it shouldn’t cost $1,500 to $2,000 for a windshield mounted radar identifier?? I understand it’s for the enthusiast but holy cow almost $2,000 for a non legacy radar detector seems a bit extreme! I know they added 5 year protection on the display, and 2 years of warranty coverage instead of just the typical 1 year but that seems crazy!!!

    Here's the skinny on Theia, "IF" it would have come to forwishen, it stood to be a game changer in every way, and cornered the market for this type of product, but since covid and the aftereffects of covid happened and the big span of time that has passed by for this elusive device, I'm not sure if Radenso will ever capitalize fully, and be first to market with such of game changing device, because we all know that the other companies that rumble in this arena, are hard at work to be the first, to be that game changer, to take that market share and capitalize on what Radenso miss the boat on, but let's be straight, there's still time until it isn't, Radenso can be a trend setter and leader instead of a follower trying to grab a piece of a market share they could of owned in the first place! in contrasted Tesla.

    If they changed all the parts so that everything they need can be available now, and since they say they've built the new version with readily available components, then why is the update just saying there is no update and acknowledging that we shouldn't be expecting any actual device to manifest and that we shouldn't even be waiting for additional updates any time soon. They basically just said they know people are anxious and to not worry, but that they won't be making any updates any time soon. If Radenso says not to hold your breath that is is going to be a long time before the next update, we can expect that to mean years, maybe longer.

    Regardless of whether or not the reasons for delaying Theia are valid, any company that excites an industry by announcing a revolutionary new product and when its delayed, they don't provide updates, no matter how small, doesn't understand respect for its customers! Supply chain issues and chip shortages aren't the only things that can delay the release of a product like Theia. If something else that's unforeseen has an impact on production, there's no reason to believe that Radenso will overcome the challenge or offer any explanation. The fact is, as a product, Theia didn't exist and Theia 2 doesn't exist. Many people who were hopeful about Theia have moved on and they will long remember how they were treated by Radenso.

    Wow, looking at some of the comments there are folks that just don't get it. I watched @Vortex initial video last night and felt bad for Rodenso immediately. I too was ready to buy Theia upon launch but understood their situation. Perhaps this will help folks understand supply chain. I work for a very large electronics company. I am waiting for finished goods that were ordered back in 2021. Chip shortage (really disc shortage) is caused by the shutdown of one or two suppliers during Covid. In my situation, we need an $11 chip to complete the product. A high commodity low margin item. The supplier of these chooses to build a still high demand chip with a better margin. Hense, until production allows scheduling of the low margin component, we have to allocate and prioritize who gets what. Like it or not not a good position. I can't imagine what a small boutique niche company like Rodenso faced over the last couple of years without the leverage of a large customer with billion$. Kudos to them for finding a new cylinder to fire on. I think they gave more than enough detail about a non-released product to let everyone know what's instore. They deserve some grace.
