From its modest beginning as a wireless technology consulting company founded in 2006, our client has grown over the ensuing years to a 40-person, product-only leader in wireless testbed systems, software and hardware, for Wi-Fi, LTE, IoT, Bluetooth and other wireless markets.

At the end of 2018, IOT Analytics reported that there were over 17 billion connected devices in worldwide use.  That number was just under 14 billion at the end of 2015 and is predicted to be over 34 billion by 2025 in areas including telecommunications, personal communications and entertainment, cable, robotics, medical, scientific, military and connected vehicles.  These devices are an indispensable part of our world.  As we connect increasingly through mobile/IoT devices, the need has grown exponentially for competitors in the mobile/IoT device and service provider markets to offer greater reliability in areas such as throughput, range and security while limiting interference, path loss and multipath.  Our client is a key contributor in advancing the state of the wireless industry and provides the solution of choice in the burgeoning wireless test systems industry.
