Do I have to give an email address to read Faststream's technical material?
No. The Knowledge Center articles and the glossary are entirely open, and there is an RSS feed. Only the six longer white papers require a form.
WHITE PAPERS
Longer documents, on request.
Six technical documents that go further than the site does. One short form, then the document by email within a working day — no drip sequence, no sales call unless you ask for one.
AVAILABLE
Six documents.
Technical guide
FPGA-to-ASIC Conversion: Assessment to Tapeout
The ten-stage process in full, including the dependency catalogue, the reset architecture problem, DFT insertion, and the equivalence strategy that makes a mask commitment defensible.
Reference architecture
AI Visual Inspection: System Architecture and Line Integration
Imaging chain, illumination selection by defect physics, cycle-time budgeting, PLC handshake, part tracking, fault protocol and the model lifecycle after commissioning.
Technical guide
Connected Asset Tracking Across Six Link Layers
NFC, RFID, BLE, UWB, LoRaWAN, cellular and NTN compared, with the escalation architecture for cellular-first tracking and satellite continuity.
Application note
The 5G Digital Front End: CFR and DPD in Practice
Why the power amplifier dominates radio unit energy, what crest factor reduction and digital pre-distortion each contribute, and how the characteristics were measured.
Technical guide
Process Node Selection for Mixed-Signal and Secure Silicon
Supply headroom, device matching, embedded non-volatile memory availability, mask cost and supply horizon — and why an advanced node is frequently the wrong answer.
Reference architecture
Edge AI Deployment: From Trained Model to Measured Latency
Quantisation, structured pruning, operator fusion and accelerator mapping, with the measurement discipline that separates estimated latency from the ninety-ninth percentile.
REQUEST
One form, then the document.
Papers are sent by email within one working day. There is no drip sequence afterwards, no sales call unless you ask for one, and no sharing of your details outside Faststream Technologies.
If you would rather not give an email address, the same material in shorter form is open in the Knowledge Center.
WHY THESE ARE GATED
A straight explanation.
Most of what Faststream knows is published openly in the Knowledge Center, because an explanation behind a form is an explanation nobody reads.
These six go further — full process detail, worked comparisons and the reasoning behind engineering decisions. They are gated because knowing who is reading them tells us which conversations to expect, and because the effort of producing them is worth a name in return.
What that does not mean: no drip sequence, no automated call scheduling, no passing of your details to anyone. If you want a conversation you will ask for one.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What engineers ask before they call.
What happens after I request a paper?
The document is emailed within one working day. Nothing else happens unless you tick the newsletter box or reply asking for a conversation.
Can I get several papers at once?
Yes — ask in a reply to the email, or send a note to info@faststreamtech.com naming the documents you want.
