We are an active member of Texas Instruments E2E community and provide RF engineering services related to the Low Power RF and Zigbee devices. The following services are offered to help you reduce the risk of developing new technology and improve the success of your project.
Take a look at what we offer. http://www.pinterec.ca/services/wireless-development/ti/low-power-rf-zigbee
TI Product Design Review – $800 USD
If you are using any of TI’s Low power RF devices, our years of experience developing products with this series of product are invaluable and will help you reduce your development time and costs. Our design review service will appraise your design and assure there are no gross errors in the design and printed circuit board (PCB) before you build a prototype.
This service includes the following:
Review the schematic of the RF circuit.
Review the PCB layout for good grounding and other RF considerations.
Provide comments and suggestions to reduce the risk of poor performance prior to PCB fabrication.
2 hours of on the phone (VOIP, Skype) consulting to answer your questions.
TI Product Impedance Matching – $1500 USD
If you are using a TI low power RF device we can tune the impedance matching circuit so that you can get a functional prototype. The Impedance Matching service is great for engineers who have a good understanding of Hardware design and PCB layout but do not have the equipment required to tune the impedance of the balun noted in the TI reference designs.
This service includes the following:
Pre-qualifying schematic and PCB layout review (free of charge).
8 hours of lab time.
Document describing the issues found and test results.
2 hours of on the phone (VOIP, Skype) consulting to answer your questions.
We will require four samples of your prototype. Each board must be capable of communicating to the RF Studio software. The intention of this service is to provide you with a basic level of communication so that a message can be transmitted between two devices. Upon the completion of this service further work may be required to improve performance.
TI Product Prototype Ready – $2000 USD - $300 Savings!
To get the most out of our services you might find it beneficial to purchase both the design review and the impedance matching service. We offer a package deal where we will review your design and make sure the impedance matching is done correctly for a cost of $2,000. This service provides you with a $300 savings when you combine the two services above (Design Review and Impedance Matching).

For simple projects, these three packaged services should offer you exactly what you need when using the TI low power RF and Zigbee devices. However, if you need detailed troubleshooting or ongoing support we can offer you additional engineering consulting services at a rate of $90 per hour. A retainer of $5,000 is required for ongoing service.
