Per Vices
Specializing in building and integrating the world's best SDR platforms.
Flexible SDR platforms for your most demanding system requirements
What
Software defined radios (SDR) are flexible application agnostic radio systems where all radio tuning is done in hardware but all other functionality is done in software. This replaces numerous components and devices and enables a single platform to be used for a variety of applications for different markets. SDRs are also upgradeable and updateable without changing hardware.
Why
SDRs allow for high performance, excellent reliability, low latency, and many other benefits. Per Vices has extensive experience in configuring our highest performing platforms to work with your systems, offering full integration support, excellent communication, and services and maintenance throughout product life. We innovate and develop constantly to provide the solutions clients need.
Who
Our customers include engineers, scientists, project managers and technologists in government companies, who have used our platform, validated its performance and economics compared to alternatives, and have received, or are seeking, regulatory approval to begin selling systems integrating our products. See who and how we work with our clients on our Client Process page.
FEATURES
High RF Bandwidth
Each platform offers the highest bandwidth in its class with options enabling up to 16 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth in a single platform.
Wide Tuning Range
Our SDRs offer performance down to the kHz range and can extend all the way to 20 GHz and beyond.
High Digital Throughput
We offer significant advantages regarding digital throughput with our products ranging from 20 Gbps backhaul all the way to 400 Gbps backhaul.
Independent Radio Chains
All of our SDRs offer multiple radio chains with each being independently controlled for changing the tuning frequency, bandwidth, and other parts of the radio chain.
Phase Coherency
We provide deterministic phase coherency across all radio chains in a given product and can extend our phase coherency across multiple radio devices giving customers the best performance for critical applications.
Custom Solutions & Full Integration Support
We work closely with all customers to ensure a solution can be provided that meets their project requirements while providing the best integration support possible by relying on our extensive experience in integrating our platforms in customer systems and networks.
benefits
Flexibility
Wide tuning range, MIMO operation, high bandwidth and fully configurable radio chain.
Performance
The best performance for tuning range, bandwidth, channel count, RF performance, and digital throughput.
ease of integration
Ability to change data format, custom messaging, interface types, and size, weight, and power (SWaP).
RISk Reduction
Start with one of our COTS stock products and, if needed, we can work incrementally to meet your project requirements while reducing any risk.
Lower costs
Our platforms are very competitively priced and for custom developments we can re-use our existing IP and experiences to lower costs and shorten development time.
One Vendor
By having a single vendor provide all radio needs and integration support, customers benefit from reduced supply chain complexity.
Cyan aims to provide end users with the best possible performance available from a commercial vendor.
Chestnut offers high bandwidth, extended tuning range and high digital throughput – striking the perfect balance between performance and cost, with the added benefit of being designed for easy integration. The platform offers 4 independent receive and 4 transmit chains, with up to 500 MHz bandwidth per chain. This flexible platform can tune from near DC to 9 GHz with 16 bit converters and comes in a compact 19″ 2U size and has the Intel Stratix 10 FPGA SoC. The digital throughput includes four 40GBASE-R qSFP ports to quickly provide 160 Gbps to receive and transmit radio data.
