Founded Norseman Projects to help European hardware companies navigate North American certification and market entry — drawing on decades of hands-on experience in RF/wireless product development, FCC compliance, carrier approvals, and cross-border execution.

Project lead on the landmark Filip Technologies (now Xplora) FCC and AT&T certification, developing one of the first wearable-specific testing frameworks and securing the first formal FCC approval for a child wearable with full two-way voice capability. Co-inventor of 12 patents in wearable technology and RF integration.

Norseman Projects' North American principal, based in North Carolina — providing on-the-ground RF expertise, US regulatory relationships, and operational continuity for European clients navigating FCC, ISED, and carrier certification. Career spans senior roles at Ericsson, Motorola, and Connected Development before co-founding Raptor Wireless alongside Paal Selnaes.

Following Raptor Wireless's acquisition, Will served as COO of the acquiring North American RF engineering firm before joining Norseman as Subject Matter Expert for RF compliance, antenna optimisation, and technical pre-submission review. A member of the original Filip Technologies FCC team (2011–2013), he brings hands-on experience with the certification frameworks that defined the standard for voice-capable wearables.

Our Track Record

These milestones reflect the senior expertise and disciplined execution that define Norseman Projects. From pioneering wearable certification frameworks to enabling predictable North American market entries, our work delivers real, measurable results for European tech teams in regulated environments.

2011–2013

First FCC approval for a voice-capable child wearable with 4G connectivity

Led development of a new FCC testing framework for wearable devices in partnership with AT&T — securing the first formal FCC letter of approval for a wearable with unrestricted calling features. The testing protocols established continue to influence FCC guidelines and industry practices for consumer wearables today.

IP portfolio

20 collective patents in wearable & wireless technology

The Norseman team holds 20 patents across wearable technology, RF integration, antenna systems, and wireless hardware design. This IP foundation enables European clients to avoid common design pitfalls, reduce compliance risk, and accelerate development cycles across MedTech, IoT, RF/Telecom, and defense-adjacent sectors.

Ongoing

Zero PCB respins across all regulated wireless projects

Pre-lab gap analysis, RF alignment, and documentation preparation have eliminated costly redesign loops across multiple European IoT and MedTech clients entering North America — enabling first-pass FCC/ISED/PTCRB approvals and preserving budgets in high-stakes environments.

MedTech · Defense · RF/Telecom

Secure cross-border market entries in complex regulated sectors

Guided European hardware teams through ITAR/EAR export controls, FDA wireless guidance alignment, and carrier-specific requirements to achieve full commercial launch in the U.S. and Canada — with product-specific roadmaps, built-in risk registers, and disciplined execution across sensitive sectors.

Ongoing

Expanded wireless & embedded systems capabilities

Through deep engineering alliances with specialist North American partners, we integrate advanced RF engineering, embedded systems, and patented wireless power technologies into client projects — delivering end-to-end support from antenna optimisation and regulatory validation to production-scale integration across automotive, defence, medical, and utility sectors.
