With nearly a century of experience, the electric car pioneer Frazer-Nash designed the
first zero-emission taxi in London. The hardware and software design teams spent 16 months trying to develop a chip-down solution before deciding to use a SOM from Digi. Frazer-Nash have since lowered development costs and improved its software throughput by a factor of 15x.
Join us and
Digi-Key Electronics on Wednesday, March 29, 2017 at 11 AM ET as we host Frazer-Nash for a live webinar discussion of why they chose a SOM for their design. Below are four reasons to attend and see how systems on modules can improve your wireless designs:
1. Get a behind the scenes look at Frazer-Nashs evaluation and design processThe
Digi ConnectCore 6 system-on-module is one of the few design components not created in-house at Frazer-Nash, there was an extensive evaluation process and ROI hurdles before making the final decision. It is not very common that engineers will share the hidden design process but in this webinar you will hear first-hand what made this project a success with the following:
Customer insights that directed design and decision making
Challenges around power consumption
Environmental, shock, and vibration
Wireless connectivity
Size/form factors for a variety of digital displays
Manufacturability, quality, and certifications
2. Meet the experts behind powering the worlds first zero-emission cabThe Frazer-Nash design teams were led by two engineering experts who will be featured in this webinar and a Digi project expert. Learn more about these speakers:
Greg Starns, Executive Director Software Development Group, Frazer-Nash
Digis solutions were one of the few technologies developed outside of Frazer-Nash and had to meet an incredibly high standards, said Greg Starns, executive director of software, Frazer-Nash. The Digi ConnectCore 6 has given us all the capabilities we had hoped for while cutting our development time 15-fold. Its intelligence and usability fell perfectly in line with what we expect from our own development.
