Phil Raymond
Director, Wireless Competency Center
Philips Healthcare
“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!"
