Embedded Systems Development
Impressive strides in the miniaturization of processing power have led to a proliferation of pervasive computing solutions. This trend has escalated the demand for software intended to run on constrained devices, as against a full-configuration personal computer. Some examples of such embedded systems include consumer electronic devices, automotive electronics, smart card / POS terminals, Internet access devices, network routers and switches, global positioning devices, and intelligent telemetry / control devices.

Digital Signal Processor Applications
Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) from leading chip manufacturers such as TI, Analog Devices and Motorola are enabling electronic equipment manufacturers to almost eliminate analog circuitry and build totally solid-state devices. Because of this, DSPs are increasingly finding applications across industry segments such as automotive, telecom, wireless, entertainment, Global Positioning Systems, process automation, medical equipment and others. 

Our DSP application focus areas include:

	Video and Audio encoders and decoders for different DSP architectures
	Image processing
	Modulators and demodulators for TI & Motorola processors
	Math library and DSP library functions for emerging processors

In these areas, we offer solutions that include implementation supported by architecture recommendations, application analysis, functionality verification, structured documentation and technical support. Some typical solutions that we can be developed include:

	Wireless applications
	Real-time DSP algorithms
	Digital Video Broadcasting
	DSL Modems
	High Performance audio solutions

Our goal is to analyze the client requirements and provides a detailed digital filter design as well as a comprehensive frequency response analysis and simulation. We will offer software implementations of filter designs to popular DSP chips. Our insight into architecture-specific CPU, memory and power optimization enables us to develop more efficient algorithm implementations. We have in-depth knowledge on various DSP processor architectures, and in development environments such as TI’s Code Composer Studio and Analog Devices’ Visual DSP++.

We understand that developing DSP applications is not just developing good software that function well, but ensuring that they are highly optimized and efficient in performance. By effective use of innovative methodologies and strong engineering practices, we ensure that the products we develop are cost-effective and deliver high performance.
