IoT Product Consulting
“Helping you choose the right path from idea to product.”
Technical guidance for businesses and innovators developing IoT products—from architecture and technology selection to hardware, firmware, connectivity and prototype planning.
Key Technical Decision Points
Making the right foundational choices early prevents costly redesigns, silicon dead-ends, and unmanageable power drains down the road.
System Architecture & Topology
Determining where processing should live—on the battery-powered edge sensor node, on an industrial local gateway, or directly in the cloud.
- End-to-end block diagrams
- Payload size & throughput models
- Failure modes and recovery schemes
Wireless Protocol & Connectivity Selection
Evaluating real trade-offs between Wi-Fi, BLE 5, Cellular (4G LTE-M / NB-IoT), and wired field buses based on range, power consumption, data latency, and operating costs.
- Comparative protocol matrices
- Data cost & bandwidth forecasts
- Antenna integration guidance
Silicon & Component Feasibility
Reviewing microcontroller options (Espressif, STM32, Nordic, RP2040) against computing requirements, peripheral counts, memory footprints, and market availability.
- Microcontroller selection report
- BOM risk and lead-time analysis
- Second-source component options
Power Budget & Battery Life Modeling
Formulating realistic energy budgets by measuring active radio transmission, sensor warm-up times, and deep-sleep currents under varying reporting intervals.
- Battery discharge lifetime models
- Sleep mode optimization strategies
- Power tree component recommendations
Technology Agnostic Consulting
We choose the technology based on the product requirement—not the other way around. We do not push a single proprietary chip or cloud vendor. If your device requires 5 years of battery life on a coin cell, we design around ultra-low-power microcontrollers. If your product needs high-speed edge computing and camera streams, we architect around Linux-based compute modules.
