Constantly evolving

Our commitment to Research and Development

In the field of wireless communication in which the company operates, investing in Research and Development is a priority in order to be competitive in the ID market.

 TechSigno has over 15 years of in-depth experience in the field of schematics, layout, validation, testing and other aspects of microelectronic design. With an extensive circuit library, stack-up layout, modular test infrastructure, and other reusable hardware blocks, we can efficiently design complex and reliable embedded hardware.

The know-how gathered over the years allows TechSigno to offer the maximum flexibility in the creation of firmware and software through the most popular programming languages: C, C++, C#, Java and Python, used with experience to increase the hardware’s potential.
