HQ: France
Simpulse offers embedded Software-Defined Radio (SDR) solutions for innovative professional communication systems. When environments are challenging and security primes, robust technology is needed to ensure secure and powerful data and video transmissions. Based on SDR technology, Simpulse’s radio links are the answer to professional applications that operate in highly mobile conditions and require a power-optimized, robust and secure solution. We push the limits of current communication system design thanks to the scalable and programmable PULSAR SDR technology that offers a high level of flexibility and integration, and to advanced signal processing algorithms that improve robustness in presence of interferences and mobile channels. Simpulse's flagship product, the SL100 mobile data-link modem, is dedicated to very long-range and highly mobile data transmissions. We also offer custom SDR modems that serve a great variety of specialized radio links. Typical applications include data and video radio links for various usages in drones, UAVs, robots, IoT concentrators, transportation, aerospace, public safety and defense. The company was founded in January 2011 and is headquartered in Palaiseau, France.
