Communications

Helping to create better communications, audio and underwater sound solutions using electronics, FPGAs and embedded software.

Collaborate with our experts in digital signal processing to develop innovative wireless, sonar & audio solutions. We can assist you in enhancing signal quality and precision within your systems, eliminating signal interference, and extending the range or accuracy of wireless communication.

Digital Signal Processing

Receive expert solutions for enhancing signal-to-noise ratio, beamforming, modulation and synchronisation to improve the performance of your system.

Wireless Communications

Whether you need to design a custom radio modem, reduce power consumption and interference in communications systems, or access an RF anechoic chamber for testing a new transmitter/receiver device or antenna measurement, we can help.

Sonar and Underwater Sound Systems

We offer consultancy, design and implementation services for sonar and underwater acoustic systems for fisheries, surveilling, communication and localisation. We specialise in underwater transducer design and development.

Internet of Things (IoT) Systems

Integrate diverse business data for insights, select the most suitable IoT system for your objectives, compare LoRaWAN, SigFox, and NB-IoT for long-range wireless, and support IoT hardware and software installation.

Edge AI

We can assist in identifying the optimal system for real-time, edge-based AI processing on battery-powered devices while maintaining data privacy, and providing insights into the speed and accuracy of edge AI algorithms and data transmission.

FPGA

Our team specialise in designing and testing solutions tailored to your unique system requirements, leveraging the reconfigurable nature of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). We also develop standardised and customised IP cores for our customers.

Electronics Hardware and Firmware

We can design, build and prototype custom printed circuit boards/electronics, build prototypes and help with setting up manufacturing. This hardware development often goes hand in hand with in-house embedded software or FPGA development.

Modem Development

If your solution requires a custom modem, we have specialists in-house who can guide you through the process when an off-the-shelf option is unavailable.
