NTI Scientific Labs

NTI premises have various laboratories specialized in the telecommunications fields, including wired and wireless communication networks, mobile phone technology, integrated communication systems, and information security in telecommunications, among other modern communication areas.
These laboratories contribute to providing a modern and advanced educational and research environment.

NTI has a highly equipped PCB design center, which typically involves designing, and manufacturing a printed circuit board (PCB). NTI acts as a service provider and offers a range of options for designing, prototyping, and manufacturing PCBs for its customers either university students, researchers, entrepreneurs, or SMEs. It has been manufacturing 6500 PCBs per year. NTI offers PCB design services for high-quality single/double sides (2-layer PCBs) and antenna fabrication and measurement service (S-Parameters up to 20 GHz). At the same time, PCB prototype services allow customers to order a small quantity of PCBs for testing and validation. These services usually include manufacturing the prototype boards, often with quick turnaround times (5 to 7 working days) to verify the design before processing to mass production. This service is available online therefore customers can send and get his/her needs at affordable prices.

NTI is keen to consider factors like quality, price, turnaround time, customer support, and reviews from past customers when introducing PCBs service as competitive edges against our counterparts in the market. To cope with the market requirements, NTI focuses on the industry insights necessary to excel in PCB design and development by providing professional PCB training courses that can help students develop their knowledge and skills and enhance their career prospects, enabling them to design efficient, high-quality, and manufactural PCBs.
