Expanding Epiq’s SDR Platform Footprint: Introducing Matchstiq Z4 and V40
Since our founding back in 2009, Epiq has strived to provide our customers with unique and differentiated RF and SDR capability in small size, weight, and power (SWaP) form factors. In the early days, this was represented in our M.2 and MiniPCIe products that provided full SDR sub-systems in a stick of gum size card that weighed less than 10 grams and consumed less than 3W. Over the years customers have continued to ask Epiq for more – more bandwidth, more frequency coverage, more channels, and more processing – while still keeping SWaP as small as possible.
