Elektrobit has been awarded a global ISO 9001:2000 certification.

EXTENSIVE DESIGN CAPABILITIES

Elektrobit's design capabilities encompass the full spectrum needed in state-of-the-art electronics. Our future success and pioneering role is based on our core competencies, developed by our competence centres for various technology areas.

RADIO PROPAGATION, SPREAD SPECTRUM, AIR INTERFACE, AND HIGH DATA RATE WIRELESS

Long-term partnerships with customers and research institutes, and a strong enterprising spirit, provide a leading expertise in the areas of radio propagation, spread spectrum, air interface, and high data rate wireless. Our project management know-how combines various skills and technologies and introduces them into effective product development.

MICROWAVE TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS, ANTENNAS AND ACTIVE / PASSIVE RADIO SENSORS

Elektrobit provides comprehensive solutions where microwave radio sensors and solutions are required. The solutions are customised to fulfil demanding requirements either for security or space usage. Elektrobit's expertise covers both active andpassive radio sensors as well as microwave transmission systems including all type of antennas, e.g. dipole, patch, PIFA, slot, wideband and adaptive. The service capabilities cover everything from subsystem designs to complete integrated systems.

SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS

Elektrobit has hands-on experience in almost all kinds of thinkable hardware platforms, operating systems, languages and software design and testing tools. This is due to the fact that technologies used to implement both embedded and non-embedded industrial software systems have evolved heavily during the past years, so that Elektrobit's customers have used many different solutions in their systems and products.

SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO (SDR) AND SOFTWARE COMMUNICATIONS ARCHITECTURE (SCA)

Elektrobit has extensive competence in Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform and waveform development based on standardized SDR architectures i.e. the Software Communications Architecture (SCA). Interoperability requires standardized SDR architectures and waveform software compatibility and the Software Communications Architecture (SCA) provides the waveform portability.

Summary of our competence areas:

• Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology
• Wireless communication systems (datalinks, modems, TETRA, Wlan, Bluetooth, UWB)
• Tailored mobile terminals (e.g. PDA, GSM, TETRA, customer specific)
• Telecom network and gateway products (Eurocom D/1, ISDN, TCP/IP, ATM)
• Software solutions
• Antenna design (e.g. adaptive / smart antennas, integrated antennas)
• Microwave technology (e.g. measurement, video links, radars, jammers, altimeters)

Elektrobit's unique skillset, combined with flexible execution, enables the development of a wide range of wireless products - from terminals to complete systems. These products often complement and enhance our customers' product offering, thus delivering them competitive advantages on the markets.

Combining the skills and knowledge of the wireless technology businesses has also enabled Elektrobit to develop and deliver its own products for military communications, professional mobile radio systems (TETRA), network transcoding and microwave radio sensors.
