Konatek is a hands-on electronics design company shaped by practical experimentation, creating documented modules for engineers, students, and hobbyists. Its work grows out of personal and professional projects in circuit design and prototyping, with products intended to shorten the path from an idea on the workbench to a usable project.
ProtopointProtoPoint helps startups turn electronics ideas into manufacturable designs, pairing product-development engineering with small hardware modules such as its Qi wireless-power receiver. The company’s work also includes BodyBytes, a custom PCB built from the ground up as an implantable, user-configurable Wi‑Fi router, while its published design files support others who want to build its hardware themselves.
