To complement expertise in systems and software design and development MAC Ltd’s engineering team also has experience in developing board-level modules and complete products, incorporating radio frequency (RF) and advanced digital signal processing (DSP) elements using field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and DSP components.
Whether your goal is to develop a prototype system to investigate the feasibility of a new idea or to develop a production ready product, we have the skills to conduct the whole design process from initial requirements capture and specification, through circuit and PCB design to production and testing of the end product.
For product assembly, we work with a number of contract electronic manufacturers to provide customers with a complete end-to-end solution.
We can deliver working prototypes and complete production documentation to ease the transfer to your own production facilities. Alternatively, we will be happy to quote for delivery of production quantities of tested and ready to install equipment.

Modern wireless communications equipment and networks are very complex and a range of critical design choices must be made during their development. Getting these choices wrong can lead to expensive re-working of the product or network design as well as costly delays in getting a product or service to market. Therefore, the importance of developing an effective simulation model of a system early in its design cycle to inform such decisions is becoming ever more critical. At MAC Ltd we have extensive experience of helping our customers to make the correct design choices through the development of effective simulation models, both at a link level and a system level.
We have used our link level simulations to assist our customers to understand and compare the performance of different systems in terms of peak data rates, mean throughput and link power budget and to understand the trade-offs between different design approaches. We can model different multiple access, modulation and channel coding schemes and examine the link performance in the face of different types of noise and interference.
At the system level, our simulations have helped our customers to understand the impact of technologies such as microcells, cognitive radio, smart antennas and increased sectorisation on the overall capacity and coverage of their networks.
At MAC Ltd we have the skills and expertise to ensure that you make the right design decisions – first time, every time!

Often the most sophisticated part of any product is the software that goes unnoticed by its user. This is especially true of wireless communications products, where vast computational power is needed to extract minute radio signals from the plethora of surrounding signals and the distortions introduced as the signal traverses its path from transmitter to receiver. The embedded software used in these applications must go about its job silently and reliably.
Creating such embedded software lies at the core of MAC Ltd’s expertise. Whether you require an optimised FPGA design for a complex signal processing function or an ultra-low-power microcontroller design for a battery-powered device, then MAC Ltd has the skills to develop a solution for you.
