Welcome to the start of something extraordinary.
We design, manufacture, test, certify, build, and deliver Custom IoT products and cloud-enabled IoT services. Our solution experts help you navigate every aspect of your design, including:
From sump pump controls to switches, window shades, door locks, showers, and outlets, we’ve designed it all. Our experience applying Matter standards while designing for Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home means we can create the product you need. As an Espressif design partner, we will work with you to find the best hardware for your IoT design.
Here's the thing though – we don't just take an idea and make it ours. That's not our style. We want you there, in the mix, actively shaping your product alongside us. It's not about us running the show while you sit back and watch. It's about us working together to bring your vision to life. We have even worked with past clients on filing joint patents for innovations we created together. We value your engineering team. That's why we don't aim to replace them. Instead, we aim to amplify their capabilities, bringing in our IoT expertise to fill the gaps, and ensuring your project keeps moving when the clock is ticking.
If you’re looking for a partner you can collaborate with, who has the speed and knowledge to match your time-to-market demands, you’ve found the right place. If any of the below challenges hit home, Grid Connect may be a good fit for you.
IoT requires a set of proficiencies that traditional engineering teams don’t possess: Networking expertise, certification know-how, and more. Finding a partner with this knowledge and a proven track record to back it up is what you need.
Grid Connect has connected thousands of analog products since 2003, many of which are still on the market today. Need to add Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, Cellular, Thread or some weird proprietary RF black magic? Grid Connect not only has the expertise to pull this off, but the proven track record to give you peace of mind.
A tight timeline shouldn’t compromise your product’s journey from concept to reality. You need a partner that operates at an exceptional pace, one with a wealth of readily-available technologies to fast-track the design process.
Grid Connect embodies speed and agility. From building proof of concepts in as little as 4-6 weeks, to delivering production-ready projects in under 12 months, the track record speaks for itself. Grid Connect consistently outperforms traditional timelines, proving the commitment to agile, efficient development.
Certifications are a labyrinth, complex and convoluted. One wrong step and your product launch falls months behind. You need a partner who knows and embraces certification compliance from the very beginning, not as an afterthought.
From the start, Grid Connect’s process incorporates meticulous planning around certifications, making sure your product meets all required standards from the blueprint stage. This approach enables Grid Connect to meet release dates seamlessly, allowing you to get to market faster and more confidently.
The stakes are high in IoT; one security mishap, and you make headlines for the wrong reasons. Your customers need to trust that their data is safe. You need a partner that's always ahead of the security curve, and doesn’t fear a security audit.
Security and privacy form the foundation of the mindset at Grid Connect. From the inception of design, cutting-edge cryptographic technology, and the latest IoT and hardware security standards are used to ensure your product is built right and keep you and your customers safe. Grid Connect believes in doing things right from day one, which is why every third party security audit has been passed perfectly.
Our streamlined processes and dedicated team ensure rapid development and delivery of your IoT product. From building proof of concepts in as little as 4-6 weeks, to delivering production-ready projects in under 12 months - expect your product to hit the market in record time when you work with us.
We start with broad strokes, aligning our thoughts with yours and diving into customer research to understand your target audience. We estimate costs and timetables, helping shape a plan tailored to your needs.
Your IoT design starts to form as we work on hardware, software, firmware, and more. We model your product virtually before building functional 3D models. We keep the gears turning, accounting for certification requirements to avoid costly future revisions.
Precision is key here. Quick-turn pilots validate our initial run, allowing for tweaks and improvements. Our engineers design your test equipment and undertake meticulous 100% full functional board-level testing and end-of-line validation. This ensures repeatability and reproducibility in every product cycle.
The collaboration doesn’t end when your product hits the shelves. We continue to offer technical support and suggestions for modifications or future improvements. We don't just help you launch, we help you succeed.
If you ask anyone who’s successfully developed and marketed a consumer or industrial IoT product, they will tell you that achieving their goals hinged on the selection of and implementation of the product’s networking capabilities.
Grid Connect, at its core, is an industrial networking company. We are experts in protocols and network technologies. Whether your product requires LoRaWAN, LTE, Bluetooth, BLE, Modbus, NFC, Wi-Fi, ethernet, Profibus or even custom-developed protocols, your specifications won’t be a surprise to our engineering team.
Our understanding of where things are likely going to fail, especially related to networking, is a key differentiator. This is important for:
Certifications shouldn't be a last-minute maze that derails your launch. With us, they won’t be. From the start, we factor in certification needs and work with test labs to complete FCC, CE, UL, and RoHS certifications. As a Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) member, our designs comply with the latest Matter standards.
