Second speaker: Ørjan Nottveidt:

The Story of Radiocrafts:  Making global business systems wireless

Ørjan will walk us through how a small Norwegian electronics R&D company has developed unique electronics wireless products with RF (radio frequency) technologies, and become a niche global supplier of specialised wireless devices. Radiocrafts designs, produces and markets high performance, high quality and cost-effective standard RF modules for use in a variety of wireless short-range applications, for customers whose products are now marketed and sold globally.  Ørjan is a graduate of NTNU in Trondheim, in electronics, telecommunications and radio systems, and is today R&D Director of Radiocrafts AS.   He has a wide work experience within wireless short range devices and Internet of Things, extensive RF experience, test experience and firmware development experience. His management experience includes technical project management and sub-contractor management of their largest customer projects.
