Define the Problem

A wireless system required greater communication range but could not increase transmission power due to regulatory constraints.

Diagnose the Root Cause

Investigation showed inefficiencies in antenna performance and receiver sensitivity limiting effective range.

Key engineering challenges included:

• Regulatory power restrictions

• Weak-signal operation

• Existing hardware constraints

• Range expectations

Deliver the Solution

We optimised antenna efficiency and improved RF front-end performance to maximise communication effectiveness.

Key Outcomes

• Increased communication range

• Maintained regulatory compliance

• Improved weak-signal performance

• Enhanced overall system capability
