STELPRO Design Inc. is a Quebec company operating in the electrical heating equipment industry. In order to grow in the design and manufacture of home automation products for residential and commercial heating, STELPRO wishes to ensure that its products comply with the IC, CE and FCC standards that regulate the safety and marketing of new electronic products. Specifically, STELPRO wants to develop an electronic integration approach that offers greater robustness of these products against electromagnetic interference induced within the housing and so acquire better compliance to established commercial standards. Thus, the aim will be to reduce the exposure to electromagnetic disturbances generated by the capacitive (screen), inductive (Flex cable) and RF (radio Wifi or Zigbee) components of electronic boards integrated in home heating products. To do this, STELPRO is seeking C2T3's expertise in wireless telecommunications and RF technologies to determine possible solutions to reduce electromagnetic interference from these interconnected home automation products. For STELPRO, this project is an important vector of innovation designed to position it competitively in the market for quality heating products, combining optimal performance, safe use and innovative design.
