Full ODM Hardware Development

Your Product, Engineered from Scratch

The ODM tier is a full product development partnership for requirements that off-the-shelf platforms cannot meet. We take on industrial design, PCB engineering, chipset selection, certification and manufacturing under one roof. A typical ODM engagement spans 4-7 months from concept to production-ready samples, depending on complexity.

What is included

• Industrial design and mechanical engineering
• Custom PCB layout and chipset selection (Qualcomm, MediaTek, UNISOC)
• Full certification program (CE, FCC, PTCRB, operator approvals)
• New product introduction (NPI) through mass production
• Long-term firmware maintenance with FOTA

Typical Milestones

Phase	Duration	Key Activities
Discovery & feasibility	2-3 weeks	Requirements analysis, chipset selection, preliminary BOM and timeline
Industrial design	3-4 weeks	ID concepts, CMF definition, mechanical design review
Hardware engineering	6-8 weeks	Schematic capture, PCB layout, prototype fabrication
Firmware & bring-up	4-6 weeks	Board bring-up, driver integration, feature development
Certification	6-10 weeks	CE, FCC, PTCRB, operator-specific testing (parallel tracks)
NPI & pilot	4-6 weeks	Pilot run, process validation, production hand-off

Deliverables

• Fully custom product with your industrial design and specifications
• Complete certification package (CE, FCC, PTCRB, operator approvals)
• Manufacturing documentation and test fixtures
• Firmware source code license (negotiable)
• Ongoing firmware maintenance and FOTA infrastructure

Ideal for

• Operators with unique form factor or band requirements
• IoT solution providers with specialized hardware needs
• Enterprises building proprietary connectivity products
