Dave Harrison - Zetex Semiconductors PLC
“The Test Development Group at Zetex has had a strong working relationship with Quadra Solutions since 2000. Quadra have played a major part in the our team's Continuous Improvement programs over the years and has introduced us to some innovative ideas, one example of this is a move to a flexi-rigid pcb for one of our main projects. The suggestion came from Steve Dobson, a director at Quadra and has proved to be an extremely good call. Steve introduced Quadra to the Zetex Test Development team in 2000 and a very firm and long lasting partnership has been the result. We have purchased a number of CADSTAR licenses and make considerable use of Quadra's excellent Design Bureau.”
John Matthews - Virtual Access Ltd
“Virtual Access design and manufacture a range of high performance routers. We have been working with Quadra for nearly five years now. They handle the PCB layout for our products and also prepare the Signal Integrity environment. With complex layouts we usually work to a two week timescale. We expect smaller boards to be turned around within a couple of days. Quadra have always met these targeted timescales.
We made a decision when the company was formed that we were not going to do our own PCB layout. We wanted an interactive working environment with a design services company and we also expected them to cope with the iterative nature of our designs. Quadra were the company that most met our needs in this regard. As time has passed they have gained an excellent understanding of our specific layout and placement requirements, especially in regards toEMC compliance, and we look forward to further developing our working relationship with them.”
Valda Stuckey - Racal Acoustics - Design Services Manager
"Racal Acoustics has been working with Quadra for about three and a half years now on a variety of projects, typically schematic through to prototype assembly. They also provide total library management for us. We are usually working to extremely tight deadlines but, with Quadra, we find these deadlines are achievable.
As with many business decisions, we evaluated various potential partners before we chose Quadra Solutions. We found that they were able to offer us a complete solution. We needed a bureau that could provide a CAD system that is able to migrate and upgrade our legacy designs- Quadra had the capability and experience to do this. We also found that their design expertise and industry and manufacturing knowledge is excellent. Since we started working with them we have discovered that Quadra offers much more than just a bureau service. They offer a true business partner relationship, something which is not easy to find.
We have recently entrusted our most important legacy data to Quadra, which proved crucial when our Visula system was decommissioned last year. We no longer find there is a need for an in-house design capability. This was the final step in highlighting that Racal Acoustics and Quadra Solutions have a long term, trusting relationship and I look forward to involving them in all our future projects.”
David Pallant - Hardware Design Engineer - Promethean Ltd
“We use the bureau services at Quadra Solutions for PCB design and fast turnaround prototype board manufacture. For new boards we can usually have Quadra working on a board with a week or less notice, sometimes before the PCB outline or schematic is finalised. However, modifications to a board are often needed at an hour or two notice and Quadra have always managed to help us out with urgent changes. We are now in a position where we know that Quadra will deliver within the timescale and price quoted on a large project, and also give us the flexibility to make changes and modifications to boards as and when we need, often at very short notice. “
Dave Frain - Thales Underwater Systems
“We found the service at Quadra exceptional, very good. The turnaround time with projects handled by the PCB design bureau is excellent.”
