Connected consumer and professional products
Products where unit cost, certification and industrial design all constrain the board at the same time.
Evidence
What we can substantiate
Everything below is work we have actually done, described at a level that respects the client’s confidentiality. If you need detail, ask under NDA.
- Module or chip-down, decided on numbers Pre-certified module premium against design-in NRE and certification, at your actual volume
- Radio that passes first time Antenna keep-outs and ground plane agreed with the mechanical design, not after it
- Cost engineering BOM reduction with the second-source position kept intact
- Enclosure and board together Board outline, connector positions and thermal path resolved as one problem
Common questions
Straight answers
Should I use a pre-certified radio module or design the chip in?
It is a volume question with a crossover point. A module costs several euros more per unit but removes radio certification, antenna tuning and a large slice of engineering risk. Chip-down is cheaper per unit and costs tens of thousands in NRE and certification. Below a few thousand units a year the module almost always wins; above it, the arithmetic flips. We will tell you which side of the line you are on even when the answer is "buy the module".
