IPWireless develops UMTS TD-CDMA (time division - code division multiple access) mobile broadband technology and has outsourced its foundation code work for several years to supplement the expertise of its in-house engineering teams.
'In Pebble Bay we have found a reliable partner who can handle multiple concurrent projects, work to our aggressive timescales, and still deliver against requirements', said Malcolm Gordon, Vice President Product Management, IPWireless.
'It is refreshing to work with an outsourced team on our foundation code that understands the importance of talking openly about how the project is going'.

'We have been thrilled that IPWireless has engauged our services', commented Nick McNamara, Commercial Director at Pebble Bay.
'Our expertise and ability to provide the diversity of skills essential for today's embedded software environment is an excellent resource for cutting-edge technology OEMs such as IPWireless, who need to keep a tight control on the software development process'.
Pebble Bay's model is to develop a mutually agreed contractual commitment for every project, specifying budget, deliverables and timescales, and to closely project-manage this with regular progress reports.
This enables customers to better plan their engineering budgets and reassure product management teams with a reliable source for on-time delivery.
In addition, by engaging with an outsourced team working offsite, the major pitfall of expensive temporary contractors being distracted from their work by being onsite is avoided.
Pebble Bay provides a cost-effective and reliable alternative to this scenario.
Pebble Bay was set up in January 2006 by Nick McNamara, John Efstathiades and Ian Willats.
The company provides independent consulting, training and project-based development services primarily to OEMs of digital video and communication technologies.
The company's expertise is in RTOS technologies, BSP and device driver development, integration and customisation, application porting, troubleshooting and project management.
