Current Business
Cambridge Consultants' work spans a range of different industry sectors, and its structure is designed to mirror these:
The company's Medical Technology Division develops products and technology for drug delivery (respiratory, transdermal, injection, etc.), diagnostics (both lab-based and point-of-care devices), and surgical and interventional device manufacturers. The company is also working to develop a new generation of wireless medical products.
The Wireless Division develops chips through to complete products and is active in the majority of wireless technologies available today, including satellite and WiMAX to ZigBee, UWB and NFC. Cambridge Consultants is responsible for many 'world-firsts' in wireless communication, including:
- The first single-chip Bluetooth device, which was spun out to create Cambridge Silicon Radio, now the market leader in Bluetooth chips
- The digital radio used to manage the majority of the US airspace
- The world's first GSM videophone for Orange
- The world's first digital wireless patient monitoring system operating in the WMTS medical frequency band, which the company developed for its client Philips Medical Systems
The Products & Systems division within Cambridge Consultants develops CleanTech, industrial and consumer products, transport technologies, and ASICs and FPGAs. Many ASIC projects use Cambridge Consultants' XAP processor core. The Division also developed the Prism 200, an advanced handheld through-wall radar and the open standard Universal Metering Interface for smart metering.
The Consulting Division at Cambridge Consultants advises companies on market strategy, transaction support and innovation management, especially where complex technology is involved. The Division's consultants and analysts carry out technical and commercial due diligence for clients around the world, and provide Expert Reports for companies listing on the UK stock market. Using a range of bespoke consulting tools, the teams also assist organisations to better manage ideas, and to prepare more effectively for future market scenarios.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or business:
“We hear the haunting presentiment of a dutiful middle age in the current reluctance of young people to select any option except the one they feel will impinge upon them the least.”
—Gail Sheehy (b. 1937)
“The point is that nationalism, even in its latest madhouse frenzies under Mussolini and Hitler, is still, like advertising, an arm of big business. Nations as we know them today, were the invention of business and it is natural that business should still consider itself slightly above patriotism and that the strongest international should still be the international of profits.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
