Farallon, later renamed Netopia, was a computer networking company headquartered in Berkeley, and subsequently Emeryville, California, that produced a wide variety of products including bridges, repeaters and switches, and in their later Netopia incarnation, modems, routers, gateways, and Wi-Fi devices. The company also produced the NBBS (Netopia Broadband Server Software) and, as Farallon, Timbuktu remote administration software, as well as the MacRecorder, the first audio capture and manipulation products for the Macintosh (later sold to Macromedia). The company was founded in 1986 and changed its name to Netopia in 1998.[citation needed] Farallon originated several notable technologies, including:
Netopia acquired multiple companies in the home networking space including Cayman and DoBox, Inc.[12] DoBox, Inc., founded by Nicole Toomey Davis, Bradley Davis and Matt Smith, was acquired in 2002 [13] for its award-winning[14] DoBox Family Firewall and Home Server Gateway.[15]
Netopia was acquired by Motorola in the first quarter of 2007.[16]
