ORTENGA works with client and stakeholders to identify goals and deliverables of the project.

Scoping, Scheduling, and Budgeting any project is fundamental to any successful business plan.

Scoping requires technical understanding of product and forming appropriate team which can deliver it.

 

ORTENGA is comprised of seasoned and skillful engineers who collaborate on innovative design in entrepreneurial environment to accomplish clients’ project.

Startups or Corporations are focused on their prime value proposition products which may need expertise outside of their engineering discipline.  Access SME in radio communications and radar product lines for duration of the project.  That is the key to cost effectiveness by budgeting and financing what is delivered. The schedule is driven by scope and Statement of Work.  This model referred to as digital transformations.

The project can range from technical feasibility, competitor analysis, radio/wireless architecture and system, HW, FW, SW, Antenna and Algorithm design and developments.

ORTENGA is comprised of SME for radar and wireless communication systems and provides engineering skills where there is a gap in the client project roadmap, for duration of the project.

Typical HW could have antenna elements or array, transceiver, and baseband module with FPGA.
