Application Specific Products Division (APD)

BittWare provides custom product and software design when required by our customers. Our team can modify an existing design from our extensive off-the-shelf product line or build a product to meet exact specifications. We can deliver a broad range of solutions varying in size and number of FPGAs and DSPs. Our business model is to rapidly customize solutions for OEM customers. Our commitment to fast turnaround is backed by a solid team of signal processing experts, who will handle a project from prototype through production or licensing arrangements.

This service is a unique capability in the industry, supporting our customers' development effort from prototype to production, whether in the quantities of hundreds or thousands of products. We offer cost-effective, flexible NRE and production plans as well as IP licensing.
