Covnetics Limited and I.T. Dev Limited Announce FPGA Engineering Collaboration to Strengthen UK Capability and Support Critical Technology Programmes
Covnetics Limited (Covnetics) and I.T. Dev Limited (ITDev) have established an engineering collaboration that will enhance their ability to support customers developing advanced FPGA-based systems across the UK’s most demanding and strategically important industries.
Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are a cornerstone technology underpinning many of today’s most sophisticated electronic systems. Their unique combination of performance, flexibility, deterministic behaviour and long-term maintainability makes them essential for applications across defence, aerospace, satellite communications, cyber security, telecommunications, artificial intelligence and other high-assurance sectors.
As organisations continue to invest in increasingly advanced digital systems, access to specialist FPGA expertise has become an important factor in delivering programmes successfully. At the same time, FPGA-based systems are becoming more sophisticated and are increasingly being deployed within safety-critical and security-sensitive environments where reliability, quality and assurance are paramount. To help customers address these evolving challenges, Covnetics and ITDev have established an engineering collaboration that brings together specialist FPGA expertise and additional technical capability.
Covnetics and ITDev are both established UK engineering consultancies with extensive experience delivering FPGA solutions for customers operating in these demanding sectors. Through this collaboration, the two companies will bring together complementary expertise, proven engineering processes and deep technical knowledge to provide customers with greater flexibility, increased capability and enhanced support throughout the FPGA development lifecycle.
The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to supporting the growth of the UK’s advanced engineering and semiconductor ecosystem. By investing in UK-based engineering talent, developing specialist skills and strengthening industry collaboration, Covnetics and ITDev aim to help organisations access the expertise required to deliver complex FPGA programmes while contributing to the long-term development of UK capability in this strategically important technology area.
Customers will benefit from access to a broader pool of specialist FPGA expertise, enabling the two organisations to provide additional technical depth, increased programme resilience and scalable support for projects ranging from feasibility and architecture studies through to verification, certification and deployment. Any collaborative support will only be provided with customer approval and will be delivered in accordance with applicable contractual, confidentiality and security requirements.
Both organisations will continue to operate independently while working together where customer needs and project requirements would benefit from additional FPGA expertise and capability.
Ram Dey, CEO at Covnetics, said:
“FPGA technology continues to play a critical role across a growing number of sectors, from aerospace and defence through to satellite communications, cyber security and artificial intelligence. As these systems become increasingly sophisticated, organisations need access to trusted engineering partners who can provide the specialist expertise required to deliver successful outcomes.
This collaboration brings together two highly capable FPGA engineering organisations with a shared commitment to technical excellence, quality and customer success. By combining our complementary strengths, we can provide greater flexibility and capability for customers while continuing to support the development of UK FPGA expertise for the future.”
Jon Older, Business Development Director at ITDev, said:
“Our customers are developing increasingly complex FPGA-based systems and are looking for partners who can provide both deep technical expertise and the ability to respond flexibly as programme requirements evolve.
This collaboration strengthens our capability to support those customers by bringing together two experienced FPGA engineering teams with proven track records in the delivery of safety-critical and security-sensitive systems. It enables us to offer greater technical depth, enhanced programme resilience and access to a broader range of specialist expertise, helping customers reduce delivery risk and achieve their objectives with confidence.
We’re also pleased that this collaboration contributes to the wider development of FPGA expertise in the UK, which is increasingly important across defence, aerospace and other technology-intensive sectors.”
If your organisation would benefit from additional FPGA expertise, specialist consultancy support or independent technical advice, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss your requirements.
