You're In Business

The project represents a legitimate, specialized engineering service (North East RF) with high real-world utility for hardware compliance. However, the submission quality is critically low, featuring hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product') and ambiguous financial data ('all time marketcap: 500000'). While the core service is valuable and the business has longevity (founded 2015), the disconnect between the niche nature of the business and the 'everyone' audience claim severely impacts the scoring.

Project Details

Description
Antenna testing Service: North East RF provide antenna testing services for IOT and M2M devices. Either passive antenna measurements (where the active electronics are disconnected from the antenna), or OTA (over the air) cellular device pre-compliance. We supply 2D | 3D antenna patterns along and antenna efficiency measurements in a report along with a data file for use with a pattern viewer. The near-field spherical antenna test system is ideal for either free space or verification of body worn devices using our selection of human phantom. The antenna testing is highly accurate with a three day turn around or expedited delivery. RF & Wireless Design Support: Designing wireless devices to meet FCC and CTIA carrier requirements is challenging. North East RF can offer RF & wireless engineering design support to complement our antenna test services. This helps our clients negotiate and prepare for compliance. This includes fault finding, antenna matching, design recommendations, interpretation of regulatory requirements, and device preparation guidelines to help speed through formal compliance. Every client has unique needs and we therefore provide a custom proposal. Ask for more information about antenna testing. Located in Greater Boston area of MA.
