Custom Hardware Development

What do you do when you just can't get it off the shelf?

Ever try and stick a square peg in a round hole?

Sure, you can do it if you get a big enough hammer. Wouldn't it have been better to have a round peg to start with? We are often faced with tough choices when it comes to selecting the hardware and architecture we need to make our projects a success. Sometimes we are lucky and a Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) solution is available. But where do you turn when the thing you need is not available? If those "gozintas and gozoutas" are the wrong logic level… If it is too big, too power hungry, the wrong shape, costs too much… If it could just have...

The Answer is The PTR Group

Our engineers have years of hardware/software co-development experience. We can take your design needs, assess COTS and custom options, and get you to a solution quickly. Often, a combination of the two is the right answer.

This is a dual processor embedded webserver and encryption unit we developed for Honeywell ACS.

This device is one component of a system in development to secure the SCADA infrustructure. We are proud to be a contributor to these efforts to enhance Homeland Security. Read more about it here.

One of the boards above replaced an entire VMEbus chassis. Another is the baseboard for an 155Mbit RF Router we have designed.

Since we do embedded software development, you can rest assured that the hardware will work with the software.

It is all available under one "roof", so you have one stop shopping for your design needs.

Next time get yourself a round peg for that hole, and forget about the hammer...
