Background
Valley Technologies, Inc. (VTI) is a small business incorporated as a
"subchapter S" corporation in the State of Pennsylvania. Our core business is
Customer/Project specific engineering, design, manufacture, and integration of
digital signal processing (DSP) products, primarily at the software level with
hardware (at board level) to support it.
VTI was founded in 1987 as part of Valley Enterprises Inc., a family business.
Five years later, VTI absorbed the technical assets of Valley Enterprises and
became today's business entity. Our first products concentrated on vector
processing and applications of the Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT). While this is
still a key area of concentration (our VT-5xxx and VectorWare ® products) we
have expanded our product line to include commonly required DSP functions
realized in the PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) form factor.
Valley Technologies' goal is to assist our customers in the realization of their
products and performance by using application specific technology. We direct our
resources toward helping our clients achieve their project goals with numerous
years of applied engineering experience in diverse disciplines to develop
software/ hardware solutions. “Engineering With An Eye Toward The Future”.
VTI Engineers, Designs, Manufactures, and Supports high end DSP boards and
systems for the military and commercial markets. Our primary thrust is in the
areas of extremely high performance, special purpose DSP boards. These boards
provide a cost effective solution for frequency domain processing and analysis.
Our boards are built around DSP engines, application-specific integrated
circuits optimized for the calculation of algorithms based on the Fast Fourier
Transform.
Our engineers have been working with spectral processors since the technology
first emerged in the mid 1980's. We are currently introducing the VT-5000 series
of vector processor boards built around the DSP Architectures DSP-24 FFT engine.
Using the latest developments in processor chip technology and modular board
architecture, the VT-5000 series will be the fastest spectral processing product
in the world.
Facilities
Valley Technologies has facilities in two locations in Pennsylvania - Tamaqua
and State College.
Our corporate headquarters is in Tamaqua, on Route 309, south of Hazleton in
eastern Pennsylvania. We are just minutes from Interstates 80 and 81. This
location consists of a three building complex - one housing administration,
management and sales/marketing while the others houses engineering and test
operations. Together, the three buildings total approximately 20,000 square
feet.

Our systems engineering operation is located in State College, home of the
Pennsylvania State University. Here we currently have about 3000 square feet of
space. Additional space is available for expansion. This facility is divided
into an engineering development area and a test and simulation lab area. Contact
Us
The engineering development area houses work stations and related support
equipment used for the day-to-day design of hardware, software, and firmware. We
build, test and integrate our prototype designs in our own lab which is equipped
with an assortment of high performance test equipment and unique
“reconfigurable” signal processing evaluation platforms.
Our business model is such that actual board layout (routing) and fabrication is
outsourced. We have developed outstanding working relations with a number of
vendors providing these services and we are not dependent on any one, thus
minimizing the risk of vendor-related schedule problems or personal turnover.
Being in close proximity to Penn State has numerous advantages. When necessary,
we have the university's resources on which to draw. We are not the only high
tech company to avail ourselves of this resource. Numerous other companies,
developing everything from semi conductor chips, to software, to heavy machinery
are locating and springing up in what is referred to here as "the Centre
Region".
