PCB design services — schematic, layout, and DFM buildable from revision one.
Commercial IoT electronics, designed to be built. We take LoRaWAN and related wireless products from block diagram to tested prototype: radio and battery first, schematic capture, PCB layout with antenna keep-out, and design-for-manufacturing checks on every revision.
From block diagram to netlist. We select components with the supply chain in mind — not just what works, but what you can buy in your volumes for the life of the product.
Boards laid out for EMC, impedance, antenna keep-out, and assembly. Radio, battery, and test points are planned on the first pass, not patched after a quote.
Multi-year battery budgets aren't an accident. Sleep currents, wake strategies, and radio duty cycles are designed and measured, so "years on a battery" is a spec, not a hope.
Every revision passes automated design-for-manufacturing checks — panelization, test points, assembly clearances — before it can move forward. Free fixes get caught when they're still free.
We SMT a small run, power the board, and prove radio and sensors against the architecture — before anyone commits to a steel tool.
AI-assisted schematic review and component selection sit in the loop with an engineer who signs the revision. Faster checks. Same accountable lead.
The drawing, then the floor that proves it.

From architecture to netlist. Parts are chosen for what you can still buy in your volumes years from now. AI-assisted review catches the cheap mistakes while they are still cheap.

The board is not a generic rectangle. RF, cell, and assembly clearances are on the first pass. Every revision runs automated DFM before it can move.

Prototype SMT
A small placement run, bring-up, and current measurements. Antenna and battery isolation are already in the layout — we are not debugging a generic board house.
You leave with: Bring-up report
You own every design file — at every milestone, not just at the end.
Anonymous project notes — problem, what we did, what the partner kept. No customer names.
Problem. An outdoor environmental node needed IP-rated housing. The first ID concept boxed the antenna and killed range.
What we did. Electronics and industrial design sat in one review: antenna keep-out, gasket, and wall thickness. 3D print for feel, CNC for RF and fit, then mold-ready CAD.
What they kept. A housing that still meets the radio budget. The partner owns the CAD, keep-out drawing, and DFM notes.
Problem. A facility node needed extra I/O and a different battery than the reference. The team did not want to buy a steel tool on an unproven layout.
What we did. Schematic and layout with RF and battery isolation on pass one. Automated DFM, then a small SMT run and bring-up report.
What they kept. Working prototypes and a file set (Gerbers, BOM, pick-and-place) ready for pilot — without a second vendor re-learning the board.
Problem. The same end-node family had to join EU868, US915, and AS923 networks with one payload map.
What we did. Firmware variants on a shared radio stage: join, ADR, and documented uplink fields. Current draw measured against the battery budget.
What they kept. Band SKUs the partner flashes and points at their own network server. Payload notes stay with them.
Problem. A campus rollout needed Ethernet indoor units and a pole-mount outdoor unit on the same band plan.
What we did. Shared concentrator and backhaul options; two enclosures and antenna kits. Onboarding notes for the LNS they already run.
What they kept. One radio family, two install SKUs, documentation they keep. We do not operate the network.
Sensor node, fire, IAQ, gateway, and an IoT software layer. Start here when you do not want a blank schematic.
Hardware platform
A proven end-node platform — MCU, LoRaWAN radio, power path, and enclosure options — so partners add sensors, branding, and payloads instead of starting from a blank schematic.
Fire safety
Smoke, CO, heat, and related alarm hardware as a product line partners customize — housing, marks, and panel integration — while we handle LoRaWAN and manufacturing.
Network edge
Gateway hardware as a customizable platform — regional band, backhaul, enclosure, and antenna — so partners ship network edge devices under their brand.
