Founded in 2014, a PICadvanced is dedicated to developing optoelectronic solutions for the telecoms market, presenting a wide range of products for current and future passive optical network technologies. The company’s products enable better use of bandwidth, accelerating the speed of existing fibre-optic infrastructure for homes and premises and facilitating the implementation of 5G.
Based in Portugal, PICadvanced’s R&D&I team is made up of young engineers and experienced specialists in the fields of electronics, telecommunications, optics and mechanics, enabling the design of innovative new products, as well as the provision of specialised services in the fields of electronics, digital signal processing, the design of integrated optical circuit architectures and chip encapsulation.
Services:
PICadvanced offers simulation, design, encapsulation and testing services for chips and components based on integrated optical circuits for future access networks and other telecommunications applications. It also has a consultancy service in the area of integrated optics to support customers in developing solutions from concept to implementation.
Since PICadvanced is a company specialising in providing optical solutions for access networks, its expertise in the field of electronics and firmware, including digital signal processing and control (DSP), the design and testing of specific electronic boards, as well as the development of software dedicated to the implementation of its products, are services that the company also provides to its potential clients. In addition, it also has the know-how to carry out consultancy services in the area of specific electronics, providing support to its clients at any stage in the process of developing new ideas or products.
