Corporate Overview

Overview

Signalogic designs, develops, manufactures, and markets OEM and off-the-shelf embedded systems for voice, video, wireless, control system, audio/acoustic, automation, and data acquisition applications. Products include hardware (board level), software, logic, and real-time algorithms.

Many of the company's products involve in some way DSP and FPGA software and hardware, for example Texas Instruments VoIP, video, and wireless chipsets and Xilinx FPGAs. Specific product examples include PCI, PTMC (PMC), and PC104 boards, DSP algorithms for telecom, control system, and audio applications, embedded system software, and real-time signal processing and data acquisition systems. For more information, please visit our DSP Software or DSP Hardware product web pages.

The company business is a balanced mix of off-the-shelf products and engineering services. Contract work is accepted on a case-by-case basis; requirements include embedded system in nature and in a general direction compatible with the company's long-term strategic objectives.

Third-party DSP hardware products supported include modules and boards manufactured by Innovative Integration, Sanmina- InterWorks, Texas Instruments and others. Partnerships and/or strong working relationships include SBE (SBEI, NASDAQ), Parvus, and Adaptive Digital Technologies. Signalogic is active in third-party programs sponsored by Texas Instruments, Wintegra, and Wind River.

Financial

Signalogic is a US veteran-owned company, certified by the US Small Business Administration (SBA). Signalogic is not a start-up, venture-controlled, or otherwise subsidized company. Employees own a significant percentage of the company. Historically, Signalogic has self-financed development for its signal processing hardware, software, and algorithm intellectual property products. Signalogic does not outsource any engineering positions overseas.

Our major competitors include Surf Communications, Mango DSP, SBS (GE FANUC), and AudioCodes. For mil/gov customers, it's worthwhile to note that these competitors are not US-owned and controlled and they maintain overseas engineering groups.

Voice, Video and Wireless

Signalogic's newest generation of hardware and software products focus on voice, video, and wireless areas in infrastructure, embedded systems, and enterprise markets. Examples include VoIP, IP video, and 3GPP wireless products such as transcoding servers, media gateways, IP PBX, pattern recognition, machine vision, and WiMAX base-stations. The company's move into these markets depends on standards-based, off-the-shelf form-factor hardware products, accompanied by supporting software and engineering services to add/integrate customer-specific software when needed by our customers. This approach recognizes that open-source software will drive VoIP, IP video/image, and wireless applications, similar to what has already happened with operating system software.

DSPs and Data Acquisition (DAQ)

Digital Signal Processors are generally used when the mathematical manipulation and analysis of real-time sensor data exceeds the power and I/O throughput of a general purpose CPU. Data sources typically include light, sound and other naturally occuring analog waveforms. Example data sources include video cameras, radar arrays, x-ray, sonar, modem and audio frequency digitizers. DSPs have the ability to perform real-time filtering and complex mathematical manipulations.

Key Personnel

  • Click Here for Management BIOs

  • Signalogic is composed of electrical engineering, computer science and applied mathematics professionals with specialization in signal processing and augmented by the use of expert consultants and contract manufacturing services. Key personnel on the engineering, sales and marketing team include:

    • Jeff Brower, CEO

      Mr. Brower's engineering management and design experience includes products and systems in the areas of communications, oil exploration, defense electronics, space exploration, telecom, control systems, acoustic/audio algorithms, and industrial automation. He is a system architect and designer, as well as expert at software, hardware, and logic design, and a range of programming languages and operating systems.

      At Gearhart (now part of Halliburton) Mr. Brower helped develop complex signal processing algorithms for measurement-while-drilling systems, extracting drill bit sensor information sent via mud pulse to the surface. Rates of 4 bps achieved by Gearhart's signal processing team in 1983 still compare well with state-of-the-art systems running 6 to 10 bps.

      At E-Systems (now Raytheon) Datacom group Mr. Brower was a software engineering team leader for the MARC rapid deployment communication shelter. Next generation MARC systems continue to be deployed by USAF Air Mobility Command at flash points around the world.

      In 1984 Mr. Brower co-founded Hyperception, acquired by National Instruments in 2004, and in 1991 he founded Signalogic to provide infrastructure and system-level solutions based on DSP technology. At Hyperception, Mr. Brower was co-author of the Hypersignal software package, still in use today at industry, academic , and R&D locations.

      During his career at Signalogic, Mr. Brower has been responsible for creating a range of software and hardware products, including DirectDSP software and PC104 and PTMC board product lines. In addition, he has worked on-site and/or on a consulting basis with technical and management personnel at a wide range of organizations, including JPL, military installations, Texas Instruments, Sanmina, Motorola, Lucent and major defense subcontractors and suppliers.

      Mr. Brower maintained a top 10 class ranking in academics and military bearing at the U.S. Air Force Academy from 1978-1980, and graduated with a BS in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1982.

    • Mai Vu, Director of Operations

      Ms. Vu obtained a BS degree in Business Administration with Management Information Systems concentration at Universtiy of Texas at Dallas in May 2001 and accepted a full-time position at Signalogic. Ms. Vu started working at Signalogic in March 1999 and has become expert at dealing with business issues concerning the company's complex technical products and supplier and manufacturing relationships.

      Ms. Vu manages the company's portfolio of off-the-shelf board products, production customers, distributor network, and resale of DSP development tools.

      Ms. Vu also supervises internal company financial matters, including human resources and benefits.

    Scholarships

    Signalogic has from time to time offered DSP Algorithm and DSP Software scholarships at the University of Texas at Arlington and the University of Texas at Dallas for engineering graduate students with an interest in ultimate employment in DSP related fields.
