Started in January 2017, GeekLabs and friends built ring-u, an auto-configuring small business phone system. Soft-launch was September 15th, 2017. That's 9 months from "lets do this thing" to hardware and software designed, built and in-stock. In 2025, Ring-U is a thriving business serving happy customers.


Virtual-Scan Voyager Bridge
Streamlined scheduling and communications with remote medical imaging technologist. A bespoke mix of external customer facing application and internal critical remote access/control.
"MGB" VPN Endpoints
The Virtual Scan Team calls them MGB's - Mike's Geek Boxes. MGB's enable a remote imaging technician to assist with patient scans on MRI and CAT scanners, including the ability to use physical controls that are typically not remote controllable. MGB's are a bespoke Linux install on ARM powered devices using variety of networking tricks of the trade that are not possible on general purpose VPN endpoints. They are what make the Virtual-Scan Voyager possible.
