Our Story
In October of 2003, Bob Witter and Chris Lamb, two engineers with decades of combined wireless experience, founded Device Solutions in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. From the beginning, the company provided vital services to the telecom industry: wireless and mobile device consulting, design, testing, certification, project management, and customer approval services. Since then Device Solutions has aided a variety of device manufacturers, applications developers, and service providers in the on-time delivery of products and services to market. Device Solutions assists experienced companies to meet their resource needs during critical peak development periods. Utilizing a vast telecom experience, Device Solutions also enables clients with little or no telecom or wireless experience to concentrate on their core expertise, while Device Solutions integrates cellular wireless, GPS, Bluetooth, and other short distance RF capabilities into client products. Our client list continues to grow as we expand into different industries, while still retaining a focus on wireless telecom.
Device Solutions is a proud sponsor of Striving for More, a non-profit organization funding psycho-social care for kids with cancer.
