BASIL Networks is a technology solutions research, design and development company. We perform all research and design at our lab and do not outsource our technology. We do outsource our PCB fabrication and assembly to a USA east coast contract manufacturing house.
Our focus is on new technologies including product development for the industry and government. We provide a total solution incorporating both hardware and software development. By keeping the total solution in house allows us to maintain a smooth transition from hardware to firmware to application software, insuring minimum turn around times.
Specification Design and Development:
Before any design may be implemented a Technical Specification Document (TSD) must be available for design direction. This is one of the industries more difficult areas to define. Many times work is performed on verbal direction and assumption. Many times rework or design changes must be implemented. At BASIL Networks we will create the TSD prior to any development.
The Technical Specification Document includes but not limited to:
Once the TSD is approved, a contract is created incorporating the TSD along with expectations and milestones. BASIL Networks will begin the development process ARO.
BASIL Networks does not outsource the design to third party design houses. All design work is performed at BASIL Networks. The following tables summarize our current design capabilities. In order to meet our customers requirements these capabilities will increase accordingly.

BASIL Networks owns and operates all its servers on site which gives us the opportunity to offer VPN and encryption capabilities point to point on separate servers for our clients. Currently we use PGP and RSA and are working on other more secure point to point communication technologies that will be activated when they become available.
