Profile

Richard Emmerson, Senior Consultant, Communications Systems
“There is a wide availability of standards-based radio modules and integrated circuits. This makes adding wireless connectivity a seemingly less daunting task for many hardware developers. Unfortunately, adding this technology without proper experience of radio design can often lead to costly mistakes and programme delays. For systems incorporating multiple radio standards, the risk is even greater.
Plextek has built its business on communications technology, and we offer design support throughout the product lifecycle. This might include specifying the most suitable radio standard or designing a bespoke system through to product approvals and manufacturing.”
