Wireless Specialization
Leverage Vanteon’s 30+ years of experience developing innovative hardware and software solutions to our clients’ complex technical problems.
Vanteon specializes in developing custom and standards based wireless solutions for clients.
Our solutions offer the ability to collect and distribute data without the expensive use of wires. Wired connections are the implementation of old technology. The limitations of wired connections are the cost of materials, labor to install and maintain, and the high likelihood of failure / damage. These downsides can be avoided with Vaneton’s experience implementing various wireless networks including – low cost, low data rate IoT devices, low power sensor networks, or high throughput processing engines.
The world of wireless extends from the smallest, simplest passive RFID tags, to the most complicated, high-performance Software Defined and Cognitive Radio platforms. These devices can be found in industrial, military and commercial cellular base stations applications.
Vanteon has a long history of developing wireless products for our clients all across wide range of complexity and spectrum. No job is too big or too small. An entire engineering department stands ready to support your product development needs.

Markets
Vanteon products are used globally in a wide range of markets and industry segments.
Our wireless solutions and embedded systems can be found in retail, military and industrial applications. The wireless communications technology we are known for has broad application across market segments, and we highlight a few of them below.
Industrial
We provide electronic and software system design and development for advanced energy data collection, communication, and management. This includes ruggedized computing and communications devices for automatic meter reading (AMR) and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) systems. As well as next generation of energy monitoring and control products with low-power wireless systems, integration with legacy protocols, and cellular data transmission systems. The Vanteon engineering team has delivered completed systems, components, and software modules for use in Smart Grid applications with features such as: low-power circuit design, renewable power source utilization, Software Defined Radio (SDR), ZigBee and Bluetooth. Our royalty-free wireless solutions offer many possibilities for two-way communications with AMI/AMR systems.
Avionics
Commercial and military avionics clients appreciate our disciplined development approach and adaptability to rigorous quality systems for compliance with regulatory requirements. Avionics technology we have designed includes video, audio, data transmission, and radar across a wide spectrum of frequencies. Video designs include: capture and aggregation, infrared / visual image fusion, and situational-aware video. Data transmission projects include: avionics and flight instrumentation, inertial navigation systems, secure communications (point-to-point and multipoint), wireless (GPS, microwave, custom RF), software defined radio, and situational aware RF systems. Radar systems include RADAR/LiDAR/SAR, FPGA and DSP arrays. With custom power supply designs to go with them. Vanteon is an ITAR registered and COMSEC compliant vendor. All of our engineers, project managers, and documentation specialists are responsible and accountable for complying with quality and regulatory standards for each project, both MIL-spec and FAA.
Medical Products
Vanteon provides electronic and embedded software system design and prototyping services that integrate with our clients’ development processes. Our project management and development documentation expertise allow us to serve as an extension of our clients’ in-house teams — we adapt our processes and incorporate CMMI-based quality practices to match the specific requirements and quality standards of the project and comply with regulatory needs. This improves collaboration throughout the life of a project and captures the design history. Vanteon has assisted clients from initial project requirements gathering and analysis through product design and complete project documentation. Examples of past projects are handheld diagnostic devices, USB, Firewire, Bluetooth and Ethernet connectivity, and 802.11x transmission systems for digital x-ray images. Vanteon follows FDA requirements and documentation for compliance.
Transportation
Vanteon designs, engineers, builds and tests electronic systems that meet the demands of our clients. The recent focus on sustainability has broadened our work, and we always meet industry standards of safety, security and effectiveness. To add additional value to our work, we use scalability and integration with existing and future systems. Global positioning, automotive telematics, wayside communication systems, and intelligent vehicle control systems are a few application technologies where our experience has helped achieve project requirements for our clients. Our engineering team can work as an extension of your in-house group or develop turn-key systems to your requirements. Transportation projects we have completed include ruggedized computing systems, Global Positioning System integration, ATC API development, interfaces and drivers for CAN 2.0. Standards, compliance and quality are always central to Vaneton’s designs, some specific projects in this area include: SAE environmental standards compliance, SAE J1708, customer system simulation, integration, and test support, software quality assurance and validation testing. Vanteon is also involved with the ITE, AASHTO, and NEMA Joint Commission on development of the API for the Advanced Transportation Controller (ATC).
Military
Vanteon provides military waveform development and verification expertise for narrowband and wideband military radios. These radios are used for simultaneous voice and data applications in mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) and Small Secure Data Link (SSDL) applications. Vanteon also provides Operating Environment (OE) and Core Networking design, implementation and testing services for SCA compliant military radios. Vanteon’s RF, firmware and test engineering expertise make it a perfect match for assisting clients with highly complex military radio products.
