We have worked with all the leading network equipment manufacturers, most of the service providers and many of the top phone manufacturers. We are currently helping a range of customers with their 5G projects across the full Mobile Network ecosystem.

Smart City & IOT

Back in the mid 2000s CIS began working with a range of customers in the Smart Meter market, helping to design and develop a range of solutions including Zigbee Protocol Stacks, Secure Element, M2M, Bluetooth, 4G LTE Protocol Stacks and much more. These technologies laid the groundwork for much of the modern Smart City and IoT Ecosystems. Today we can add Low Energy, new IoT Operating Systems and advanced encryption to the list of projects we are involved in.

Audio

CIS has a long history in the high end luxury audio market. We have worked with many of the global leaders on various projects for wireless devices, luxury cars, home entertainment, 3D Headsets and the broadcast markets. These projects include every aspect of modern day audio requirements from low level DSP chip design, firmware & embedded software through to noise cancellation algorithms, audio simulation, graphics and acoustics.

Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality has been a natural extension of our work in the Audio & Visual markets. Having many years of experience in both sectors and a strong track record with ground-breaking technologies, we entered into the Virtual Reality world at the origins of these technologies. High quality 3D Sound has been an essential component in the evolution from Virtual Reality gadget, to real-world application in Construction, Healthcare, Simulation, Training and Education markets.

Automation

Whether it is Home or Industrial Automation, CIS has an abundance of experience in helping customers with the design and development of control software, wireless communications, embedded engineering and even artificial intelligence. We have been working with M2M technologies such as Zigbee, Near Field Communication, Bluetooth Low Energy and Wireless Mesh Networks since their inception. We have helped develop everything from major Industrial Robots and Collaborative Robots for SME's through to complete Home Automation Syetems.

Semiconductor

The Semiconductor Industry is at the heart of everything we do. We have been working in close cooperation with Europe's leading Semiconductor Companies over the past 17 years in relation to all our core markets. We have helped with Analog & Digital Design, Verification & Test, System on Chip and all the related Embedded Software and Firmware required to deliver quality Semiconductor products for today's market.
