I need to understand how I can get my idea built into an actual
product prototype.  I need the name of a company that I can work with
to flesh out my idea from an engineering design phase to product
prototype creation.

Hello Docirie,

Please clarify if WhiteLight Design is the kind of company you're
looking for. If it is, I will locate a few more similar companies for
you.

Thanks,

Clarification of Question by docirie-ga on 04 Feb 2006 11:06 PST

Hi bobbie7,

What I need is something similar to what Whitelight provides however I
need the following services in addition to a design:
1. Experience in integrating 802.11 technologies into products.
2. Experience in integrating bluetooth technologies into products.
3. Experience with pulse oximetery engineering.
So, to clarify, I need to work with a company that can not only design
the product but also design/put together the circutry to create a
functional prototype.  It looks like Whitelight can create molds
(bottles, containers etc) but does not have the electrical engineering
skill set.

Thanks,

DocIrie

edl.com is very close.   The only thing missing is experience in wi-fi
or bluetooth (both is better).  Thanks.

I think this is close, the only thing missing is pulse-oximetry design
and mfg.  Maybe a medical equipment mfg?  I think I will also contact
a few of these companies over the next few days to discuss my
requirements.
