FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

​

How did you get your name, Risetime?

 

Much of our early work was in electrical engineering services. In digital electronics, when describing a signal transitioning from low to high, 'rise time' refers to the time it takes to make that transition.  When we incorporated, the average computer ran at 4 million operations per second.  Today modern PC's run 1,000 time faster!  This means that the 'rise time' needs to be 1,000 time faster as well.  In the 1980's it was impossible to predict just how far things would evolve.  Truly spectacular! The name has stayed with the firm throughout the years as a reflection of our roots.
