Antenna Kick Off Call
Antenna kick off call
A kick-off for an antenna project follows a structured process that ensures that everyone involved is well prepared. The process requires only 4 hours of working time. The key steps and aspects of this process are explained below.
Preparation
- Duration: 60 minutes.
- Communication: Questions are asked by e-mail. The more details the project customer provides, the more effective the preparation.
- Documentation: Various standard questions and information are collected and analysed before the call takes place.
Video call
- Duration: 60 minutes.
- Content: The customer has the opportunity to show the device or PCB if this has not already been done during the preparation.
- Goal: At the end of the call, a concrete solution proposal is presented.
- Follow-up: A short report is sent by e-mail summarising the results of the call. A further 120 minutes are scheduled for this.
Project progress
- Ordering: Customers often place the order for the next step during the video call.
- Milestones: Each project is divided into milestones, after which the customer can decide whether or not to continue with the project.
Example project
An example of a successful process is the project with Digitanimal in Spain. Digitanimal ends up with the complete device, including the development of the enclosure, the antenna and the PCB. The software for the cattle tracker is developed by the customer itself.
Smallest orders
The smallest order after the kickoff call can be the matching of a network or the replacement of an antenna. Proven 0 USD Antennity antennas or standard antennas can be used here. The necessary measures are discussed during the kickoff call.
Order Antennity Antenna Eval Kit
If it is a new project from scratch, proven antennas are available with the Antennity Antenna Eval Kits. Most of the antennas are licence-free and therefore lower the BOM of the project customer.
The questionnaire addresses our standard inquiries. The two PCBs illustrate a typical process, including the proposal after the video call. Design proposals for the wireless tag serve as examples of orders generated after follow up orders.
