Innovators in wired & wireless systems — from NASA's prototype Mars Rover to stadium suites, hospitals and hotels worldwide.
Pragmatic Communications Systems, Inc. is a Silicon Valley based California corporation founded in 1994 as a natural expansion of Pragmatic Solutions, an engineering consulting group since 1986. The company traces its roots to designing electronics for bio-medical research instruments in the late 1980s, expanding into video imaging, radio-frequency communications and wireless systems — culminating in an industry-first, commercially available high-resolution wireless video transmission system for MRI signals, thermal imaging cameras and wireless intra-oral cameras.
Pragmatic was part of the NASA Ames Technology Commercialization Center in Sunnyvale, graduating from the business incubator in 1995. As part of the ATCC, the company provided wireless video transmission technologies to NASA's prototype Mars Rover project, Moffett Naval Air Station, the US Coast Guard, the US Air Force, nuclear power plants, US Border Patrol, law enforcement, life-safety, and search & rescue missions.
In the mid-1990s the company expanded into mobile communications, developing test equipment for worldwide cellular infrastructure deployment as an OEM through private-label arrangements. Pragmatic has continued that OEM strategy in vertical niche markets where it can leverage its technical expertise, and diversified into medical/dental, scientific research, professional broadcast, commercial audio-visual and industrial control systems under its own brand name.
Pragmatic holds a strong IP portfolio with several patents in wireless multimedia, audio/video/control communications and control systems, along with proprietary technologies in CCD imaging, high-resolution LCD/LED displays, high-efficiency audio amplifiers, line-array speakers, and wired and wireless communications. Our satisfied customers believe the best solution is a Pragmatic solution — custom-tailored to their needs.
Most Pragmatic products are manufactured by local, ISO 9001-certified contract manufacturing partners in Santa Clara County, California — relationships more than a decade deep. Local manufacturing minutes away gives the company the control and flexibility of its own factory without the overhead, letting Pragmatic focus its resources on R&D and deliver very high quality at a very affordable cost. Copies of our partners' most recent certifications are available upon request.
At Pragmatic, failure is not an option.
