Electronic hardware is found in a wide range of products, from consumer gadgets to industrial equipment. The market success of these products often depends on how well their hardware performs. However, designing hardware is inherently complex— involving multiple stages with unique challenges and requirements.This blog aims to provide a high-level overview of some of this process, highlighting the first three distinct phases.

It's challenging to explain what firmware engineering entails since it resides in a niche space that bridges hardware and software. However, consider this astonishing fact: High-end cars like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class contain over 10 million lines of code, all of which are processed by up to 100 microprocessors networked throughout the car. This immense amount of firmware-based coding powers everything from engine management systems to advanced safety features.

As IoT applications become more prevalent in our everyday lives, satellite IoT is a rapidly growing industry. With over half a million New Zealand businesses connected to some form of IoT and approximately 13.1 billion connected devices world-wide (42 billion installed and unconnected), it is not surprising that some form of global coverage will be a necessity in the future.

The Transmission Gully Motorway has a ‘first of its kind in NZ’ radar system. This system enables the operations team to respond to events immediately, 24/7, and uses radar sensors to monitor the motorway at all times for incidents which require a response. The system has 100% coverage of the 28 km motorway, which could quite possibly make Transmission Gully one of the safest stretches of motorway in New Zealand.

To say that we are passionate about technology at Beta Solutions is an understatement! We keenly follow new technology developments and often have lively debates on the merits of such technologies over our morning coffee. The most fun part however is thinking up ways how these new technologies could take our clients’ products to the next level. That being said, we are also very aware of the value of tried and trusted technologies and the risks of incorporating leading edge technologies in product development projects. To this end, we sometimes do internal research projects first to gain knowledge and experience on a new technology that we think may be of particular value to many clients. Below are 5 intriguing technologies that we would like to highlight for you. 1. Lithium-metal Batteries
