Wireless team to expand by 20 per cent

Developing wireless technology and applications across a wide range of industries – from mobile health and connected devices, to satellite and beyond – and ensuring clients can bring products and services to market faster, is a service that is highly valued by companies in an increasingly mobile and wireless world. According to ABI Research, more than 30 billion devices will wirelessly connect to the ‘internet of everything’ by 2020.

As one of the world’s largest independent wireless development teams, with more than 100 experts covering every design expertise from short-range wireless connectivity to global satellite communication, Cambridge Consultants is looking to hire 20 new people. The positions the company wants to fill range from embedded software engineers, digital signal processing experts, hardware testers, and mobile and telecom engineers to project managers, business developers and wireless consultants.

Over the years, Cambridge Consultants has helped its clients to develop the world’s smallest satellite data terminal, the world’s first single-chip Bluetooth radio, the world’s first GSM videophone for Orange, Europe’s first FCC-approved UWB (ultra-wideband) product, and the radios that manage over 50% of the world’s airspace. Recently, the company was also appointed to play a key role in the deployment of Iridium NEXT – Iridium’s second-generation satellite constellation and the world’s most significant commercial space programme, which is expected to begin launching in early 2015.
