Connectivity systems for IoT
From choosing technologies and components to designing robust architectures, we support your business with every step of the process.
Project with RapidLab
Consulting
We analyze your business needs and provide expert advice to guide your project from concept to completion.
Selection of technologies
We help you choose the right components, communication modules, and gateways tailored to your specific business needs.
Solution Architecture
We design a robust and scalable architecture to ensure seamless integration and functionality across your IoT systems. Let it be building new products or retrofitting existing ones.
BOM (Bill of Materials)
We create a comprehensive list of all required components, ensuring cost efficiency and compatibility in your project.
Prototyping
We provide prototypes utilizing eval boards and dev kits to rapidly test the functionality and feasibility of your solution in the field before going into full-scale production.
Hardware design
We design customized hardware that fits your project requirements, ensuring optimal performance and durability.
UAT (User Acceptance Testing)
We facilitate end-user testing to ensure the solution meets your operational needs and performs as expected.
Compatibility testing
Before mass production it is crucial to perform electromagnetic compatibility tests (EMC) to prove device can be CE marked.
Final product
We deliver a fully functional and tested product, ready for mass production and deployment in your business operations.
Choosing the right communication technology
To smoothly start our consultation, be prepared to answer below questions:
How much data will be transferred thru the network and how often?
Shall the device works only on the battery? For how long?
Should data be transferred real-time or in-periods?
Where will the device be located (in door, out door, in harsh environment)?
How many devices will be working in the network?
What kind of distance between devices (or device and the gateway) must be covered and what kind of obstacles should we expect on the way?
Solutions we provide
After consultation, we will select the perfect solution for your business. We have wild range of solutions, such as:
