Performance Chain
We offer more than just development: Our services support you along the entire performance chain from conception and prototype development to the final consumer product.
We give you an insight into the essential features of the individual elements of our performance chain.
Idea
- Review and analyze the business idea in terms of their feasibility
- Critical analysis of system alternatives
- Selection of system architecture and depicted services
- Identification of a potential co-operation network for realizing the business idea
Planning
- Definition of the overall system and the individual segments in terms of system specification
- Planning of time-related processes and work packages
- Identification and definition of development resources (materials, infrastructure, manpower)
- Budget planning
Development
The activities in this phase are mainly based on the system and segment specification:
- Definition of the development platform
- Architecture of the terminal
- Definition of test environment for terminal qualification
- Development and selection of detail algorithm and their implementation
- Implementation of hardware and software components
- Project management and controlling
Integration
- Integration of all hardware and software components on a pre-defined platform, consisting of:
- Antenna and analog front end
- Digital baseband processing
- Software and application layer
- Terminal qualification within specified test environment
Preparing for mass production
- Development of a terminal reference design for the efficient and smooth mass production
- Support of the contract manufacturer
- Support and implementation of the production tests
Around the operation of the system
