“When you partner with CA Engineering, you’re getting more than just technical expertise—you’re getting a team that understands how to bring your vision to life,” says Ray Ivins, EVP of Sales and Marketing. “From the initial design phase through to full-scale production, we ensure your product is built for success, with precision and care at every step.”
At CA Engineering, manufacturing isn’t just about producing devices—it’s about ensuring that every product meets the highest standards of quality and performance, right from the design phase. From industrial communication solutions to consumer electronics, CA Engineering specializes in manufacturing complex wireless devices that operate flawlessly across a wide range of applications.
Every project at CA Engineering starts with one key question: How will this design perform in mass production? With facilities across the U.S., nearshore, and in China, CA Engineering works closely with manufacturing partners to ensure that every product is built for efficiency and scalability. This mindset allows the company to rapidly prototype and scale production while maintaining a high level of quality control.
CA Engineering's in-house manufacturing test suite ensures that devices are not only tested for basic functionality but also undergo precise radio calibration to ensure optimal performance. This extra step sets CA Engineering apart, particularly when dealing with high-frequency devices like Wi-Fi radios.
Building a wireless towed array radio for submarines isn’t something just any company can do—but it’s a challenge CA Engineering tackled head-on. The project required developing a rugged wireless communication system capable of operating under extreme conditions. By incorporating their extensive expertise in wireless technology, CA Engineering delivered a reliable solution that meets the stringent demands of military-grade systems.
Another example of their capabilities is a customized radio developed for a major luxury appliance company. The radios are now integrated into more than 20 different SKUs, including high-end fridges, ovens, and dishwashers. These radios enable seamless wireless functionality across a wide range of products, demonstrating CA Engineering’s ability to handle complex, large-scale manufacturing needs for consumer applications.
In collaboration with a leading U.S. lock manufacturer (Yale), CA Engineering designed over 10 types of radio modules for smart locks. Each module allows the lock’s functionality to be adapted based on the customer’s needs—whether it’s for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other communication protocols. This level of customization has enabled the lock manufacturer to stay ahead in the competitive smart home market.Type your paragraph here
