SETTING THE BENCHMARK

When it comes to cybersecurity, "absolute" security does not exist. Instead, it's a balance of risk management and pragmatic safeguarding. The goal is not to achieve impenetrability but to reach a state of sufficient security where risks are understood, measured, and consciously accepted.

The first...

Modern electronic circuit designs pack as much functionality and performance as possible into the smallest spaces, but this requires meeting challenging electrical and mechanical goals for printed circuit boards (PCBs). Fortunately, for years, Benchmark’s PCB design engineers have tracked the...

The Benchmark Site Profile is an ongoing blog highlighting engineering and operations teams worldwide. This month features our two outstanding engineering and manufacturing sites in Minnesota —Winona and Rochester.

The rapid growth of connected and miniaturized medical devices has empowered healthcare providers to offer patients greater autonomy in managing their health from the comfort of their homes. Wearable devices seamlessly integrate with mobile apps, enabling continuous data collection and analysis...

Smarter electronic devices are tackling greater workloads and more complex tasks with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. AI analyzes data to recognize patterns and anomalies, helping us make more informed decisions based on data analysis. Just as advances in the quality and...

Antennas are critical components for wireless communications networks, as many have learned for Fifth Generation (5G) systems, and they will be just as important when those systems morph into the Sixth Generation (6G). A number of leading OEMs have developed many innovative antenna designs for 5G,...

In today's rapidly evolving aerospace and defense (A&D) market, product realization services have become a critical part of mission and commercial success. With dwindling research and development (R&D) budgets, an ever-increasing need to field products faster, and requirements to fit more...

Successful medical device design and development requires a multidisciplinary approach. Collaborating with a seasoned industrial design team — along with an experienced team of mechanical, electrical, and software engineers — will help to ensure your product’s safety and efficacy, as well as...

As the world welcomes Fifth Generation (5G) wireless networks and technology, the engineers at Benchmark are readying for what lies ahead in Sixth Generation (6G) networks. In a new article, “Sixth Generation Networks Push New Boundaries”, appearing in the digital editions of Electronic Design and ...

As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, point of care (POC) miniaturized medical devices have emerged as a promising solution to address the needs of patients and healthcare practitioners. These specialized devices offer convenience, mobility, and faster diagnoses, revolutionizing the way...

At this year’s International Microwave Symposium (IMS 2023), we caught up with members of the Benchmark team to find out what they were sharing with conference attendees. In this interview, Bryan Halladay explained how Benchmark’s diverse offering—including RF engineering, microelectronic assembly,...

On Friday, June 23, Benchmark celebrated the much-anticipated Grand Reopening of its engineering and manufacturing facility in Almelo, the Netherlands. While the facility was never closed during the renovations, we’re calling it a Grand Reopening due to a complete revitalization of the facility...
