Executive Summary
The client is a US-based manufacturer of high-quality marine products. The client’s next-generation product was a premium, single-chassis weatherproof marine source unit with high-quality audio performance, excellent ergonomics, and advanced audio features, specifically designed for marine applications. It was targeted for today’s modern media environment featuring a digital AM/FM/Weather band tuner, Bluetooth / LTE connectivity and an intuitive UI. The client was planning to launch two variants and was looking for an engineering partner who can help with development and Google Mobile Services (GMS) certification of the device. They were looking for a single hardware solution that can be used for both the variants with 7” inch LCD and 12” inch LCD.
eInfochips took the complete ownership of the development including feasibility of common PCB for product variants and sample application development on Qualcomm Snapdragon-based evaluation kits. Based on the evaluation, eInfochips proposed a custom hardware design based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor. Additionally, eInfochips also helped with GMS certification in stringent timelines of 6 months.
eInfochips performed quick evaluation and proposed a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 based solution that includes:
