Project Description

Overview

The customer needed a design and manufacturing company that could design and produce a high volume, low cost PCB assembly based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) that would communicate with a smartphone app. The design required both hardware and software development working with the customer’s third party app developer.

Challenges

  • Co-development of software with smartphone app developer
  • Low profile/low cost PCBA using COB (Chip On Board) technology
  • Required two versions of radios: Bluetooth 1 and BLE 4.0

Services Performed

  • Software & hardware design
  • Design for manufacturing in high volume with COB technology

Results

  • Compact, low cost PCBA with IoT connectivity
  • Built in software features for two radio variants
