Welcome to DesignA Electronics
Simplifying Technology Innovation
For many years we have worked with customers to deliver the benefits of ARM microprocessor technology in the Aerospace, Telecommunications, Medical Device and Defence markets. Using our unique 'Snapper' range of Single Board Computer Modules, combined with an in-depth knowledge of evolving technologies such as ARM microprocessors, wireless communications, GPS and solid-state storage, enables our leading hardware, FPGA and software engineers to quickly prototype and develop modern electronic products. Through our high quality New Zealand based engineering and manufacturing partners we design and manufacture high quality, niche, low to medium volume products for the demanding markets we serve.
The DesignA Electronics promise ...
Patrick Rottiers and John Barr,
DesignA Board Members
Our range of ARM-based electronic products have been developed to help engineers throughout the entire design process, from conception to completion. Using the Snapper Modules, our clients have been given an out of the box solution that dramatically reduces development time and costs. Not only does this help to push products out into the market at an accelerated pace, but our proven designs mean that you can be confident that your product will operate at the level that you desire.
Incorporate Snapper into your product
Not only do the Snapper ARM-Based single board computer modules save you time and money during the R&D process through to production stages, but we can then fully integrate or flatten the snapper design into one board.
Advantages of this are:
- Increased reliability as there is no need for the interconnection between the carrier board and the Snapper Module
- Allows for some customisation of the design to specific requirements
- Minimisation of the Bill of Materials (BOM)
- Lower manufacturing costs
- Test system Development
We then either offer a licence agreement where you can arrange your own manufacturing or a manufacturing agreement where we choose one of our New Zealand based manufacturing partners depending on the complexity, quality and volume requirements of the contract.
Innovation Meets Design
