Frequently Asked Questions
How can we help you?
Absolutely. We take ideas from napkin sketches to field-tested devices and handle the architecture, prototyping, electrical and mechanical design, firmware, certification and real-world validation.
We manage prototyping and low-volume builds in-house. For full-scale production, we either coordinate with your manufacturing partner or help you select a contract manufacturer.
We work with startups, SMBs, and enterprise teams alike. What matters to us is the challenge—not the size of the company. If your sensing or telemetry problem is hard, we’re interested.
We are headquartered in Chicago (UTC -6:00). That said, we’ve successfully worked with clients across the U.S. and internationally. We stay flexible and ensure availability during your business hours.
We structure statements of work (SOWs) to be as simple and transparent as possible with clear deliverables, milestones, and terms. We’re happy to share anonymized examples upon request.
Our systems are built for harsh outdoor environments including extreme cold, high heat, humidity, and vibration. We focus on long-term deployments where durability and power efficiency are critical.
Yes. We often build around commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment—especially in situations where the hardware cannot be easily modified or conformally coated.
Yes. We design mesh-enabled systems for remote areas without cellular or wired infrastructure using LoRa, Wi-Fi, sub-GHz, and custom protocols when needed.
We combine passive and active strategies: PTFE breather vents for pressure equalization, bidirectional humidity control sheets (like Active-S), optional low-watt heaters, and smart mounting practices to prevent condensation over multi-year deployments.
No. We only take on projects we can give our full attention to. If we work with you, it's because we believe in the problem and are committed to delivering a solution.
