Previous Designs
We are constrained here by our commitment to confidentiality and so will not mention any client by name, however, references can be provided on request. Projects include specifications, feasibility studies and project management for a global satellite communications system provider and board level designs for a manufacturer of RISC microprocessors and a company specialising in secure data transactions (high speed encryption engines). These involved:
