Moreover, applications can influence the design
from an aesthetic point of view. Consider a stealth
police car meant to have a small, discrete design. In
this scenario, designers must consider not only how
to design the highest-performance system possible
but also the size, location, and even color of the
system to satisfy aesthetic requirements. Designers
of a large truck, on the other hand, may not
consider aesthetics and will instead solely optimize
the system for performance or other specifications.
TE Connectivity facilitates application-specific
design by:
• Working directly with customers to ensure
their systems can be designed for the given
application.
• Offering a wide breadth of commercial off-the-
shelf solutions so that customers can always find
products to meet their needs.
• Providing unique antenna solutions that allow
designers to achieve optimal connectivity
performance, regardless of surface materials.
Fleet telematics is so important because
the efficiency of time is what makes a
company successful. For example, we
operate in the logistics sector; knowing
who the closest field operative is can save
on fuel and wages, as well as help to make
sure our operatives are busy all day."
