OEM Development
The Wireless Communications Solutions Division prides itself on providing innovative and efficient antenna designs for the wireless industry. For more than 20 years we have been developing products ranging from low cost GPS antennas to integrated Wi-Fi® antennas and sophisticated cellular base station antennas that are subjected to intense environmental conditions.
We consistently deliver well-performing antennas in high volumes, to the commercial wireless industry. We are known for high quality, low-cost innovative design technology.
Product Development Process
Each of our antenna products is completely US engineered and follows a detailed development process to insure high-quality designs and efficient manufacturing. This allows us to bring new products to market quickly. We begin with a basic product concept, then move into the detail design, a rigorous product qualification and testing phase, followed by the pre-production phase where we "prove out" our antennas in a manufacturing environment prior to product launch. Our customers are involved throughout the product development process and are encouraged to participate in periodic design reviews to be sure our products meet or exceed their expectations.
Engineering Staff
Our engineering team is structured to be responsive to a wide variety of requirements and is comprised of experienced, dedicated, and professional personnel focused on meeting the needs of our customers and the ever-expanding world of antenna technology.
The engineering staff can work on several major antenna design activities concurrently. Each engineer and technician works in a cross functional design team, interacting closely with our customers throughout the development process. This team environment promotes creativity and helps ensure innovative antenna design solutions that meet our customers' requirements.
Modeling Tools
The engineers here at The Wireless Communications Solutions Division utilize internally-developed computer design tools as well as industry standard tools throughout the product development process. These tools allow our engineers to generate and evaluate antenna and subsystem concepts quickly, efficiently and accurately.
Some of the software tools used by our engineers include:
- CST Microwave Studio
- Ansoft Designer
- SolidWorks
- AutoCAD
- Matlab
- Visual Basic
- LabView
Test Facilities
We have several state-of-the-art, RF and environmental test and measurement facilities that are utlilized throughout the product development process. Our resources range from RF anechoic chambers to HALT testing chambers, along with environmental testing equipment for vibration, shock, heat, humidity, dust, salt, etc. We have our own in-house anechoic chamber for extensive RF performance testing which allows for efficient RF design qualifications. This is a key component in helping to deliver products to market quickly.
We are known in the industry for the meticulous and comprehensive testing of our products before they go to market and proving that they perform up to or above standard.
