Telit Wireless, Thiagarajar Telekom ink customer-centric deal

Telit Wireless Solutions has announced a strategic partnership with Thiagarajar Telekom Solutions Ltd (TTSL) to offer Telit customers antenna design and development, and testing services. TTSL is a research-driven wireless design company in India that provides modern antenna design, RF component and system design, and transmitter and receiver design services for a number of existing and emerging wireless applications that include space, defence, vehicular tracking and in-building solutions.

As part of the customer-centric Telit strategy, the alliance would help Telit customers get access to all services provided by TTSL. Since antenna performance is one of the key aspects of seamless wireless communication of M2M modules, this alliance would be of immense help for customers seeking to ensure optimal performance and compliance for their M2M devices by using TTSL's customer specific services.

"Antenna performance is very critical for a successful wireless product design. If the antenna is not well-tuned, customers can face interference during communication with the modules and poor antenna performance can lead to communication failure of M2M networks. At TTSL, we not only provide customers design and development services, but also provide precertification-level testing facilities. TTSL has expertise in providing end-to-end solutions for all antenna design and testing requirements. This would be a major benefit to Telit customers," stated T. Kannan, director, TTSL.

"This partnership with TTSL is a significant step for Telit towards providing customer-oriented services and strengthening its position in the Indian market," said Ashish Gulati, country manager, Telit India. "TTSL's proven experience and expertise in antenna design and testing services will help our customers get access to hi-tech labs and training services at the best possible cost."

TTSL claims to offer reliable and accurate far-field antenna measurements using modern indoor and outdoor open antenna range facilities available at the TIFAC Core in wireless technologies. The modern facilities, coupled with the highly skilled human resources make the antenna testing experience with TTSL very unique and special. In addition to antenna measurements, antenna-related issues like detuning, gain drops, pattern spikes, polarisation impurity and anything else that may arise during measurements by necessary tuning and trimming of antennas can also be solved.
