The Problem:

Our client had an old product which featured limited functionality, flexibility and utilised obsolete technology.

Case Study: APDThe system used a PC audio card for telephone interfacing but needed to integrate legacy radio and telephony systems with modern digital communications.

This method provided:

  • Limited functionality
  • Obsolete ISA bus technology – which was proving to be expensive
  • Marginal audio quality
  • A limited number of ports (3 phono, 1 serial)

The Solution:

GSPK Design was able to provide a complete solution to client specifications - from design through to manufacture. This included creating electronic circuit diagrams, PCB design, manufacture and assembly, design of the housing unit and design for test and manufacture.

The new product design now features:

    Case Study: APD - The Solution
  • Easy set up – plug and play providing increased functionality
  • The latest DSP and CODEC technology
  • 4 balanced audio ports with improved sound quality
