Our Process
Whatever stage of your design process,
we meet you where you're at
Strata Wireless leads with a Systems Engineering approach, ensuring the proper wireless systems are built for your business needs.
From initial concept to production deployment, our flexible approach ensures agility, depth of knowledge, and comprehensive lifecycle management.
-
Customer Experience
Understanding the end-user’s expectations and environmental constraints is key to making the right wireless choices from day one. We help clients map wireless needs to user experience — ensuring connectivity, performance, and reliability all support the product vision.
Design Considerations: latency tolerance, range needs, power constraints, carrier expectations, physical UX (e.g., signal indicators, pairing flows). -
Use Cases
We work with teams to define practical, testable wireless use cases — considering factors like mobility, network coverage, device states, and failure modes. This lays the groundwork for selecting the right technologies and operational strategy.
Design Considerations: how a device behaves when idle vs. moving, how it reconnects, how it updates, etc. -
System Requirements Development
We help translate real-world use cases into clear, technical system requirements. That includes link budget targets, latency thresholds, throughput needs, fallback conditions, and standards compliance — all grounded in domain knowledge from wireless system design.
Design Considerations: clarity around RF constraints, protocol decisions, or data usage expectations. -
System and Subsystem Architecture
Whether you’re building from scratch or integrating existing modules, we bring deep experience in wireless architecture — including modem integration, antenna and RF path design, embedded/cloud interface definition, and regulatory considerations. We review your existing design constraints and lead architectural tradeoff discussions to achieve the best outcome for the business.
Intergration Considerations: trade studies with existing design constraints, subsystem partitioning for FCC, PTCRB, GCF, and network operator certification, radio hardware abstractions and interface requirements, end to end data flows, RF chain analysis, etc. -
Design Implementation
From schematic capture to PCB layout, antenna integration, and early prototyping, we support or lead the implementation of wireless designs — always with an eye toward performance, manufacturability, and testability.
Program Planning and Implementation: hands-on design, milestone reviews, test plan creation, guiding teams through their first wireless product build, etc. -
Design Verification and Validation
We help teams define and execute test strategies that confirm their wireless system works in the field — not just in the lab. That includes RF testing, throughput and latency validation, network behavior under edge conditions, and even factory-level test planning.
Transitioning to Production: preparing your teams for deployment, scale-up, or certification testing.
