Years Experience
If you’re here, you probably know by now that getting your medical device to market on time is difficult. It’s a multi-year process that can be filled with many roadblocks and pitfalls. Over the years we’ve helped countless medical device manufacturers navigate that process. In our experience, customers typically need help in three main areas:
We are here to help our customers every step of the way in this difficult and lengthy process so they can get to market as quickly as possible. From choosing and integrating a wireless solution to trouble shooting in the field with your end customer, we have dedicated engineering teams standing by and ready to assist with pre and post market support. We also know the importance of longevity. We build and support our solutions through your product development, approvals, and long, successful life-cycle. We prioritize flexibility in packaging along with backward and forward compatibility.
The first step to a successful wireless implementation is figuring out exactly what wireless technology is best for your applications. Hospitals are notoriously difficult RF environments with a lot of noise and limited bandwidth. Our Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and system-on-module (SOM) solutions are developed with those factors in mind. Our market-leading solutions deliver exceptional performance, including fast scan and roam along with enhanced security for devices whose network connectivity is critical to operation.
Our goal is to simplify the process of protecting your devices by combining our industry leading hardware with multiple layers of security software and enterprise connectivity via Summit Suite. Summit Suite is a customizable security portfolio that allows you the flexibility to choose the security features that are right for your product and end applications. This range of added value software services combines the most important security features into one package to mitigate the risk and reduce threats.
We can help you develop secure, reliable, future-proof connected solutions. Schedule a meeting now to discuss your project.

“Longevity in the market for medical devices is critical. Laird Connectivity gets it! We sourced their SSD30 for many years. When components on this design were going EOL, Laird Connectivity worked with us on a last time buy to source this product as long as possible. They then provided us a migration path to the newer platform that was form, fit, and function compatible with the previous design. Laird Connectivity is also committed to timely software updates and correcting security vulnerabilities. They have been a great business and technology partner to work with!"
