We worked long and hard on the initial design of the Warp hardware platform to insure reliability, longevity and quality.
Here are a few of the procedures and tests that we completed during the design process:
- We selected telephone interface chips that have a proven history of reliable operation in the field.
- The processor core was based on an established reference design from AMCC
- We paid close attention to maintaining good signal integrity of all electrical signals to maximize noise immunity and prevent errors.
- We designed the digital circuits for worst case timing.
- We derated components for power and voltage ratings to ensure they would not be highly stressed so they would last longer.
- We included ESD protection devices on inputs to help protect the system from damage.
- We designed the plastic enclosure for the wide range of thermal loads expected and included a fan to ensure that thermal stress would be limited.
- We designed the telephony interfaces for, and verified that they met, regulatory interconnect requirements for US, Canada and Europe including lightning surge tests and ESD.
- We designed the product for, and verified that it would meet, regulatory safety requirements for US, Canada and Europe including drop test, impact test and power line cross test.,
- We conducted long duration stress testing of hardware and diagnostic testing of software to ensure that operation would be stable over long periods of time.
- We verified that the product would operate correctly over stated, wide operating temperature range by running long duration diagnostic software stress tests at various operating temperatures.
