Client Process – Per Vices

The Client Process

Working With Per Vices

Selecting the right software defined radio is often only one part of a larger system development project. Per Vices works directly with customer engineering teams to understand the application, technical requirements, interfaces, project constraints, and long-term objectives before determining the best path forward.

Depending on the project, this may mean using one of our existing COTS SDR platforms, modifying an existing platform, or developing a more customized solution. Starting from proven hardware and existing IP allows us to focus development effort on the requirements that are unique to the project, reducing development time, NRE, and technical risk.

Our SDR platforms are designed for long-term use and integration into both new and existing systems. We consider not only the immediate technical requirements, but also future upgrades, changing system requirements, and long-term support.

The Workflow

Steps		Why
1	We start with an introductory discussion to understand the application, overall system objectives, current challenges, and what you are trying to accomplish.	Understanding the complete application allows us to identify the most appropriate SDR platform and determine which requirements need further technical discussion.
2	We work with your team to identify the critical technical requirements, interfaces, performance thresholds, project timeline, budget constraints, and validation criteria.	Clearly defining the requirements allows us to determine what can be satisfied with an existing COTS platform and where customization or additional engineering may be required.
3	Where appropriate, customers can begin with one of our existing SDR platforms to evaluate RF performance, interfaces, data formats, software, and overall system integration before committing to additional customization.	Starting with proven hardware provides an early path to prototyping and proof-of-concept development while reducing technical and project risk.
4	When customization is required, we define the project requirements, engineering deliverables, validation criteria, schedule, and associated costs in a Statement of Work (SOW).	Establishing measurable requirements and validation criteria before development begins ensures both teams have a clear definition of project success and provides milestones for tracking progress.
5	Following development and validation, the completed system is delivered with the applicable documentation and tracking information. Our engineering team remains available to support integration, troubleshooting, future modifications, and additional system requirements.	Our involvement does not end at delivery. Continued access to the team that understands the hardware and system architecture helps customers move from initial development into deployment and future system evolution.

benefits

Reduced Development Risk

Starting from proven SDR hardware and existing IP reduces the amount of new engineering required and allows critical system requirements to be evaluated earlier in the development process.

Lower Development & Unit Costs

Reusing existing hardware, FPGA, software, and RF designs can significantly reduce NRE and development effort compared with developing a specialized radio platform from the ground up.

Direct Engineering Communication

Our engineering team works directly with customer technical teams throughout evaluation, development, integration, and validation, helping resolve technical questions quickly and keeping projects moving forward.

Reduced Supply Chain Complexity

A highly integrated SDR platform can replace numerous individual RF, digital, timing, and interface components, reducing the number of suppliers and subsystems that need to be sourced, integrated, and maintained.

Clients & Testimonials

Per Vices has worked with leading organizations across defence, aerospace, research, telecommunications, medical, government, and technology markets to develop and integrate high-performance SDR systems.

Per Vices has done an excellent job in the development of this product, and we now have a radar receiver that costs a fraction of the legacy unit and occupies less than 10% of the space of the original.

I was profoundly impressed with the unit...again I was blown away.
There is no doubt: we purchased the right system.

The quickness and quality of response is by far the best I have seen from a vendor in over 15 years
...and it’s very much appreciated.

Per Vices’ Crimson Arria V SoC-based SDR COTS board truly is a flexible product with a wide range of applications well suited for military, governmental and wireless networking applications. It’s a unique blend of hardware and software that delivers a high-performance, turnkey multi-channel radio.
Altera is a leading SDR provider

The successful incorporation of our ultra-low phase noise and low-jitter performance oscillators in the Per Vices Crimson software defined radio means that the Crimson software defined radio is capable of supporting the most demanding radio applications.

We used our technical background in FPGA design to help Per Vices incorporate many innovative SDR features into their product. The capabilities and flexibility of their SDR solution is right in line with what people want from wireless solutions today.

The Per Vices SDR product line provides optimal functionality at the price people need.– , ,
