In a connected world, electronic devices can no longer afford to be stand-alone, isolated units - interoperability is key.

Understanding technology

While the choice between a physical or wireless communications link may seem straight forward, selecting the technology & designing a robust solution can be quite a challenge.

At AND we combine expertise in a range of technologies & use a diverse set of competencies in order to create products to meet today's communications needs. Our strap line 'Innovation with Purpose' has been chosen carefully to reflect our goal of using the best technologies available, most suited to the task at hand.

Areas we handle

□ RF communications & antenna design [firmware, circuit layout & physical components]
□ 'Mesh' networking to enhance the range & robustness of communication [e.g. Zigbee]
□ Implementation of standard industry profiles [e.g. Home automation, Smart energy]
□ Communication buses [USB, Ethernet, ModBus, I2C, …]
□ File systems [e.g. FAT16, FAT32, …]

Some skills we utilise

□ Discrete component analogue & digital design in order to reduce costs.
□ Power conservation for prolonging battery life.
□ Cluster & profile network protocol architecture design.
□ Network & communications configuration for fast throughput & maximum efficiency.

How we can help

Our customers come to us for real practical solutions. Often we are pioneering new products which inevitably means addressing risk & uncertainty. We use an 'agile' approach to development which to us means that the customer sees tangible outcomes from investments made, & therefore can remain fully engaged with the development process - providing confidence that budgets can be met & products delivered.

Examples of our work can be found in energy monitors, game controllers/equipment, car infotainment systems, & industrial control products. Please contact our Programmes Director, Steven Kear [and@andtr.com] an expert in technology development
