 We provide end-to-end PCB design services including schematic capture, PCB layout (up to 18+ layers), signal integrity checks, DFM (Design for Manufacturing), and PCB prototyping. 

 We design PCBs for defense, medical, industrial automation, consumer electronics, and IoT applications. 

 Yes. We offer End to End services

 Yes, our expertise includes high-speed digital, RF/microwave, and mixed-signal PCB designs with impedance control and EMI/EMC compliance. 

 We develop custom embedded firmware and hardware solutions using 8/16/32-bit microcontrollers, microprocessors, SoCs, and FPGAs for a variety of applications. 

 Absolutely. We provide end-to-end IoT solutions including sensor integration, wireless protocols (BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, ZigBee), and cloud connectivity. 

 Yes, we conduct academic workshops, internships, and corporate training to bridge the gap between industry and academia. 

 A SoM is a compact, ready-to-use computing module integrating CPU, memory, power management, and peripherals, which reduces development time for embedded products. 

 SoM accelerates product development by providing pre-validated hardware and software, reducing time-to-market and risk, while still allowing flexibility. 

 Yes, we design custom SoM platforms for specialized domains such as industrial automation, medical devices, and defense systems. 

 We work with industry-leading SoM families like Xilinx Zynq, NXP i.MX, TI Sitara, and custom ARM-based solutions. 

  Yes, we provide system integration services, adapting SoMs to client-specific hardware, PCB, and software environments. 

 We follow standardized quality processes, IPC standards for PCB design, and ISO-compliant practices, ensuring every project meets client specifications. 

 Yes. We sign NDA and IP protection agreements with all clients, ensuring complete confidentiality of your designs and data.
