Their navigation device is located in a shielded test laboratory and can simulate poor signal reception resulting from obstacles such as mountains, houses or bridges. For example, Switzerland is known for its natural beauty and is hailed as a global tourist destination. The landscape is excellent for holidays but not the most ideal for testing Air Force equipment. To answer these predicaments, Lange-Electronics had delivered unto them a simulation system that could test the navigation equipment in their military aircraft, flying, landing and restarting across the mountains. The company's experts helped them with detailed training sessions to program the test routines for testing the onboard equipment for their different aircraft.Today the company has branched out from its roots in the satellite industry, and is venturing into the highly proactive automotive industry, to integrate advanced sensors makes vehicle test set-ups more complex. With the growing demand for HWIL (hardware in the loop) testing and more realistic testing of multipath and obscuration factors on connected autonomous vehicles, Lange-Electronic is perfectly poised to tackle every challenge. In one instance, Lange-Electronic assisted an organization regarded as one of the market leaders in car electronics (engine control and navigation) in Germany. The client was looking for simulation equipment for a large order from one of the "high-class" car manufacturers. Lange-Electronic provided a set of test systems, each equipped with precisely what they required at the specific test station. Moreover, every single unit could be changed to work at other stations as well. If one of the systems came up with a problem, then another system could replace it immediately. It was mainly because the basic software was identical that the hardware/software upgrades could be done within minutes to fulfil the needs at the new station.Having demonstrated such all-round capabilities, Lange-Electronic has always focused on understanding their customers' problems and challenges. "To be honest, that is the main difference between our competitors and us. We are experienced consultants and help our customers chose the appropriate system and assist them to set it up. We do not see ourselves as salespersons, rather as problem-solvers in the market," concludes Lange. Our strength is our ability to understand the complete situation of the customer and find a technical solution that really meets their requirements
