Hi Iain, it is on the way to you my email.

* What will be your wireless application?
* In which countries you plan to sell it?
* Will the antennas be inside or outside the box?
* What will be the size of the box or PCB inside?
* What kind of supply voltage you plan (AC, DC, battery inside with charger …)
* What is the estimated quantities per year?
* Do you already have experience with wireless applications?
* Do you have a company profile or website?
* Do you have a need for outsourcing the development?

Based on your answers we offer a hardware concept. For small quantities we prefer concepts with connector based RF modules. For medium to large quantities we prefer SMT mounted RF modules. Frankly spoken all components shall be SMT to save money and time for manual work.
If your M2M device is a GPS tracking device then we need further details. Concepts to track an eagle, a truck, an expensive asset like oil on canvas or a dog are quite different. We have access to four different types of new GPS chip sets an each has its benefits for specific application.
If you plan embedded antennas on PCB inside small enclosures, then you will save a lot of money by planning the device around the antennas. The antenna is the key in any wireless application.
Thank you in advance for your time and thank you in advance for detailed answers. As more information we get as better will be our recommendation.
