Hardware and firmware together
Battery life, radio performance and reliability depend on hardware and firmware working together. Our embedded team designs both, so power budgets and timing are optimised end to end.
This integrated approach shortens development and produces more reliable products.
Prototype fast, then scale
IoT ideas benefit from early field trials. We build prototypes quickly, refine them and move to volume production when you are ready.
Early field data guides design decisions and reduces risk before volume production.
Choosing connectivity
The right wireless technology depends on range, data rate, power and cost. Wi-Fi suits homes and buildings with existing networks. Bluetooth Low Energy suits short-range devices connected to phones. LoRa suits long-range, low-data sensors. Cellular suits devices that must work anywhere.
We help you weigh these options against your use case, budget and target markets.
Device management
Deployed devices need monitoring and updates. We design firmware with health reporting, remote configuration and secure over-the-air updates so fleets can be managed after installation.
Good device management reduces support costs and extends the useful life of deployed devices.
Field trials
Real-world trials reveal issues that lab tests miss: coverage gaps, interference, enclosure condensation and installation mistakes. We support pilot deployments and use findings to refine the product before volume production.
Trial findings are documented and used to improve both hardware and firmware.
Battery life planning
Battery life depends on how often a device wakes, how long it transmits and how much it sleeps. We model these cycles early, select low-power components and verify consumption on real hardware so the battery life you promise customers is achievable.
Accurate battery life estimates help you set customer expectations and plan maintenance.
Antenna and radio performance
Wireless range depends on antenna design and placement as much as on the radio module. We follow module manufacturer guidance on layout and clearances, consider enclosure materials and test range in realistic conditions.
Good radio performance reduces dropped connections and improves battery life.
Data and security
IoT devices handle data that may be sensitive. We implement encrypted communication, unique device credentials and authenticated firmware updates appropriate to the product and its risks.
Security features are tested before release and reviewed as threats evolve.
Industrial IoT
Industrial IoT connects machines and sensors in factories to monitoring and analytics systems. Our experience with industrial instrumentation and embedded connectivity makes us a natural partner for retrofit sensors, gateways and condition monitoring devices.
Industrial IoT devices are built for the same robustness as our industrial instruments.
