Plextek Services Limited, trading as Plextek, is a consultancy specialising in technology, electronic design, product design, new product development and innovation. It has clients in both the private and public sector, including local and international Governments and the defence sector. The company is located on the outskirts of Cambridge, UK and operates across four market sectors, defence, security, healthcare and IoT.
Founded in 1989, the company has a strong focus on creating solutions to overcome complex engineering challenges. In 2016, Nicholas Hill, Director of Defence & Security at the time, was appointed as CEO to re-organise and re-focus the company's technical capabilities. This effort led to dedicated special interest groups of engineers working across areas such as signal processing, communications systems, sensor systems and data exploitation.
Innovations developed at Plextek over the past 20 years include: a immersive virtual reality training simulation for military and air force, delivering adaptive FPGA-based System on a chip (SoC) Imaging, a tinnitus and hearing loss early warning detection system and a millimetre wave micro-radar system to enable autonomous emergency resupply by unmanned air systems.
In April 2017, Plextek announced a concept technology that can detect and alert users to the early warning signs of hearing loss and conditions such as Tinnitus. The system has been designed to be integrated into consumer headphones. The solution works by monitoring subtle changes to auditory evoked potentials (AEP), a signal sent from the brain by an acoustical stimulus that measures an individual’s auditory ability level.
