Design Services :: Custom FPGA Solutions
Avoid the end-of-life issues inherent in off-the-shelf chips or products.
Although existing QAM and OFDM modem ASSPs offer time-to-market and cost advantages, they are often single-sourced. Industry veterans dread those end-of-life announcements. Migrating to an FPGA modem design can eliminate or greatly reduce these end-of-life issues. In fact, over a product’s life, modem FPGA solutions are often more cost-effective, convenient, and flexible.
Upgrade designs in the field.
Abineau designs with the future in mind; that’s why we’ve become FPGA experts. Since FPGAs have the unique ability to be upgraded in the field, our designs can adapt to changes in standards, customer requirements, and competitive forces. Even simple changes to the interface or controls are easy if the surrounding hardware has been designed with the same flexibility as the FPGA.
Continue your revenue stream after your product has shipped.
FPGA-based solutions offer unique opportunities for “aftermarket” features and upgrades that benefit both you and your customers. Because Abineau can design hardware that changes FPGA and controller code in the field, your customers can purchase features after hardware is shipped… and they will pay more for this convenience. Start shipping as soon as the minimum requirements are developed. Upgrades and downloads can become a significant source of revenue, with extremely high profit margins. Abineau’s experienced staff can help you manage field upgrades.
