Jaltek has completed the acquisition of Cambridgeshire-based Hidalgo, a design services company specialising in RF comms and physiological monitoring systems.

Jaltek is a broad-based design company with manufacturing, PCB design and software design capabilities.

One of Hidalgo’s designs is the Equivital personal physiological monitoring system. It enables its wearer's vital signs, including heart rate, respiration and body temperature to be recorded and communicated wirelessly to a monitoring station.

“Jaltek brings a level of investment, scale and well established specialist experience in areas that will enhance the range of services we can provide to our customers and support the ongoing development of our Equivital system,” said Justin Pisani, chief technical officer at Hidalgo.

According to Pravin Sood, CEO of Jaltek Group: “Growing interest in the Equivital wireless monitoring system presents a significant new opportunity for the Jaltek Group,”

Hidalgo is based in Swavesey, Cambridgeshire and Jaltek Group is based in Luton with additional facilities located in the UK and India.
