Introduction to the Company

Concurrent Technologies is a world leader in the design and development of high performance computer products based on Intel® CPU technology.

Telecommunications, military and aerospace markets are the main users of Concurrent Technologies' products. But many other market sectors like transportation and industrial systems utilize our products.

Concurrent Technologies was established in 1985 and is headquartered in Colchester, United Kingdom. Our main North American office is in Woburn, Massachusetts, USA. We also have a design and development facility in Bangalore, India.

Concurrent Technologies designs all of its products to comply to the RoHS 2002/95/EC directive. Concurrent Technologies' website is continuously being updated with RoHS compliant product datasheets. Please contact us if you require any further information on RoHS compliant products.  In addition, Concurrent Technologies works to a Company approved Environmental Policy.

Expertise

Skills:
Concurrent Technologies' team of highly skilled and experienced design engineers develop hardware, firmware and software products of the highest quality. We stay at the leading-edge of high performance processor implementations. Our extensive skills are supported by state-of- the-art CAD tools, PCB routing and design rule checking systems together with our comprehensive in-house computer resources for FPGA design and reliability predictions.

Software:
Most of Concurrent Technologies engineering team is involved with software development - producing BIST (Built-In Self-Test) firmware, porting operating systems, writing device drivers and producing networking software. This allows our customers to use Concurrent Technologies' hardware with industry standard software that already works with Concurrent Technologies' hardware - our customers do not have to port the OS, we have already done the porting work. This allows our customers to "plug-and-play" standard operating systems with our hardware.

Simple Customer Upgrades:
Concurrent Technologies realizes that most of its customers want to upgrade part of their system. This upgrade is normally to provide more processing power or increased I/O capabilities. Rather than expect our customers to make radical changes to their system (major software changes) our design engineers concentrate their effort on compatibility with existing products.

Quality - ISO9001:2000

Concurrent Technologies builds close, long term relationships with customers based on quality and an in-depth understanding of how to meet their specific requirements. We design the quality into a product from the start. Every new product is rigorously qualified against its specification before release, so ensuring highly reliable performance.

Every employee is responsible for the quality of his/her contribution to the company. By continuously improving internal performance, we maintain a very high level of quality and customer service.

Implementing a Quality Management plan and regular quality audits promotes continual improvement in all aspects of quality within Concurrent Technologies.

We design and manufacture to the highest standards. All products are checked carefully for compliance to the appropriate standards at every stage of development, from the initial design, and in-house PCB layout, to assembly, test and final inspection. Only high quality components are purchased and assembled according to the workmanship standards expected by our customers. After assembly, most boards undergo extensive functional testing followed by active temperature cycling between 0°C and 55°C while carrying out comprehensive diagnostics. All quality systems and procedures are reviewed and monitored regularly to ensure adequate control and traceability.

Customer Support

To maintain Concurrent Technologies' success, we listen carefully to our customers so that we continue to design the products they need not the products that we wish them to use. Ideally we become an extension of our customers' engineering teams, bringing our extensive board level design experience to the partnership.

Effective pre- and post- sales support is also a major commitment to our customers, to ensure that product integration is made as easy as possible.

Our support is not limited to hardware support; as with most computer related products today, software is the important issue. We provide direct support for all of the software and firmware products that we design, develop and use. This means that Concurrent Technologies supports Unix®, Windows NT®, Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, Windows® XP Embedded, Solaris®, QNX®, VxWorks®, iRMX®, QNX®, VRTX®, UnixWare®, LynxOS® and Linux operating systems together with numerous drivers.

Warranty

Our hardware products are supplied with a 24 month warranty which can be extended to 5 years. Out of warranty repairs are carried out at fixed rates.

If a board fails in service, the highest priority is placed on minimizing repair turnaround time. For critical applications where a board is urgently required, an advance replacement service is available.

Custom Designs

If a customer's precise requirements cannot be met from Concurrent Technologies' wide product range, the company's renowned flexibility in design and manufacturing ensures that customized versions of standard products, or completely new designs can be completed quickly and cost-effectively.

See Custom Design Page.

Because of our very modular approach to design (hardware, software and firmware) it is very easy for Concurrent Technologies to produce a special product in a very short time.
