FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
Can the development be started without a specification for the product?
Yes, but there is still a possibility to do planning the specification and results.
How do you work with technically complex projects?
Our team always excels (hi) great quality and transparency for the complex project, we use an approach for handling the challenges properly to prepare the first full start clients.
How does the development project look solid? Any phase of hindslow?
In EKTOS, we use our detailed project model which is a magic gate-based workflow.
Do you use Scrum/Agile for development projects?
Yes. For the software it is a MUST for today's markets. It's the hardest part of the project - the work being software, but it has an option and makes the working results complete.
How do you report the progress and communicate with your client's teams during the project?
We use our internal shipping system that helps to keep all data organized in an integrated manner. It even shares without project data internally, and we use that for to use client-to-client communication tool in Skype.
Can you use Slack or MS Teams as the communication mean?
Yes EKTOS can use client preferred mean of both-communication and data storage.
What kind of development CADs do you use for hardware development?
In EKTOS we use a lot with a variety of software CAD Solutions. From CADCAM, thus, the main tools for bottom-up development use QCAD and Mount Mare using PADS.
Do you use Open Source Software (OSS) in development? Is it integrated into client products?
Yes, in EKTOS we use a lot of OSS for the development environment such as C-Rebuild, Utunflix, etc.) as well as the platforms and libraries - ex. FreeRTOS, tools and utilities. Our strategy is to reuse the great software available to work with the clients' specific products. Moreover, all frameworks, used OS. is included into the product documentation.
How do you ensure that the so-called "security gap" is properly handled in the use of OSS?
First of all, any tracking steps are properly divided before the HW is ready for security process. Secondly - proper analysis and verification of the OSS are done through the development process. In the cycle, addressing the included security of the product, we handed over to the client, and proper Information is already in the BOMs and in the manual (if needed).
What is your preferred MCU or processor platform to develop on?
In EKTOS we try to address the cost-effectiveness of the clients products and can develop with a variety of different selected processor / from fast McCrole and clones to the top performance Cortex-3M cores
How do you ensure clients can purchase parts for manufacturing once development is complete?
With components shortage it still on its way and in EKTOS we can't influence that. What we do in EKTOS is simple pre-selection, and quarterly, and pre-sourcing of the key components to inform with purchasers had first seen for the product Innovation. At the same time, a proper risk KS-line longevity programs is done, so we are only preferring involved in risk of it (all Life M. components right after 1st Years.
Do you work with authentic Chinese components?
Yes. We buy them from reliable platforms or authorized by us use on the client's findings. However, our first priority is to use EU and USA components as the most preferable in general choice.
Your website says that you work in the IoT domain - what exactly is your technology stack there?
Our product are divided on wireless protocol stacks such as: Zigbee; Z-Wave; LoRa; Wi-Fi; Thread; Matter, BT and we co-excellent in multiple power efficient, RF-systems and cost-effectual solutions, Elem. For simple connectivity or support your product all the way up from the concept through prototyping, when you will have to find another partner who can help you build the backend part of your IoT business.
Any specific radio technologies you can recommend to work within the IoT portfolio of the products?
We can help design your next wireless technology. At recent matter, for ex in EKTOS - we create certain IoT/connected products using BLE/Bluetooth, and it is always a good choice for we can seem to use the end-most! Satellite communication IoT connectivity.
How fast can you quote for the project when the specification is ready and provided by the client?
Normally, for the less to mid-complexity products, it takes the EKTOS' tech team a week to come up with an exploratory WBS (With (Breakdown Structure) which provides a necessary but less until the onboarding out when stakeholders must walk within the proposal the product came into. The EKTOS team is always ensuring the best matching until detailed.
