Validation and Verification of Wireless Design
During 2022 Integra Systems has worked with a global digital engineering firm that is renowned in superior engineering skills and Agile delivery. This opportunity has allowed us to provide a unique wireless design pathway to both the enterprise and a smart mobility platform. This design was also validated and verified using the services of. https://www.keysight.com/us/en/products/network-test/protocol-load-test/ixload.html.
Data Logic https://www.datalogic.com/eng/retail-transportation-logistics-healthcare/mobile-computers/memor-20-pd-869.html is a company that cut it's teeth at the forefront of automatic data capture and process automation markets. You will find their products everywhere.
Their mobile computing platforms such as the Memor 20 provides the full power of a rugged PDA Android powered solution in the palm of your hands.
Noticed is the aspect of inductive wireless charging that works with any compatible available inductive charging.
From the healthcare vertical and other enterprise verticals this has many benefits.
- It eliminates cleaning of the physical contacts between the mobile device and the charger which is a requirement in healthcare.
- Cleaning solutions over time can also cause damage to charging ports over time.
- Physical charging ports can simply wear out over time by repeated charging. This then requires the expensive replacement of the mobile device as the physical charging ports are built into the device.
Have been a advocate of Nordic BLE SOC(s) for several years. Now they have also ventured into Wi-Fi SOC(s)
Personal Heart Monitors – Wall Street Journal
An interesting article came out on October 10, 2022. The article was written by a physician that addressed the issue of anxiety related to personal heart monitoring devices. Reference “My watch says I off, what do I do, October 03, Journal other author. As indicated in this article, “none of these devices can detect the electrical indicators of a heart attack which has much greater morbidity and mortality than atrial fibrillation.” “Lay people could easily misinterpret the advertising of these device manufactures”. The overall outcome of this article was “to have regular check ups and alerting your provider when new symptoms arise. “This approach is evidence based and cost effective, per the author.
It is important to focus on a holistic approach to managing your health. This means that any personal health monitoring device needs to be multi-parameter. It should correlate all this information in a way so that the individual has the information at hand.
Glad to see the huge progress!
Take a look at the video.

Integra Systems, Inc. has assembled a world-class team that has enabled a medical device company to complete an initial FDA 510(k) submission in 2021. This was completed on time and included a vast array of services. These services included EMC/EMI testing, wireless SOC engineering support, safety testing, human factors testing, and co-existence testing. In addition we completed the instructions for use, the quick reference guide, human factor packaging design, the requirements for cybersecurity, IOT MDM services and quality management system efforts.
Integra Systems, Inc. wanted to develop a SmartCard to house vital and important medical information and device data in a secure fashion that would be portable. We reached out to a pioneer in the disk drive space that shared our vision. That was over five years ago.
That vision and timing of the market has evolved to SentryCard.
SentryCard crosses all the silos of IT and physical infrastructure to provide secure biometric authentication without costly forklift technology upgrades. Physical and IT security requirements are converging in a rapid fashion and this solution provides the answer to this.
This company is getting huge traction across the enterprise in multiple verticals.
We see major opportunity in the healthcare and medical device space.
NordicSemi is the "gold standard" for SOC low power secure connectivity. We have consistently recommended their use with partners on several projects. The resulting regulatory approval and application performance have been nothing short of outstanding
From the WQ issue 4, 2020, page 6.
- $21.8 billion - All time record high in healthcare funding Q3 2020.

One of many, but a project example.
Start up medical device company in surgical instrumentation requested expertise for wireless communication. Integra Systems sourced the correct BLE SOC with the right embedded module, brought in outside expertise for regulatory requirements, conducted the required wireless testing, and finally packaged everything for submittal from a wireless and cyber security side. Company received a regulatory approval straight forward that allowed a immediate go to market opportunity.
2020 has been a very busy year for Integra Systems, Inc., on many fronts.
Please see the latest Nordic Q2 2020 Quarterly.
The opportunities in the BLE space connected to 4G/5G is transforming our work model across multiple enterprise markets in a very rapid fashion. It all about not only the connectivity model; but also about secure and managed deployments.
