From the sensor to the cloud
What we do
We are a high-tech engineering company based in the Basque Country (Spain), specialised in the development of embedded systems for IoT ecosystems.
We cover the full embedded systems development cycle: from product strategy, design and system development to embedded integration, testing and user experience. Our clients come to us with an idea or a set of requirements and leave with a working, documented device ready for a pilot or for production.
Technology
The core of our company is our technological knowledge. We provide solutions for various markets to meet smart product needs, from ultra-low-power sensors to connected platforms that manage large fleets of devices.
We use only the highest-grade components to produce our hardware products, and we design every board, line of firmware and cloud service in-house, in our own electronics lab.
Our expertise
We use the most specialised tools in each field to create the best solutions, from FPGA and chip design suites to real-time operating systems, embedded Linux and cloud frameworks.
We are a multidisciplinary engineering team with technical know-how that gives us the ability to implement novel, innovative and adaptable technology. We work closely with research groups at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and take part in European R&D programmes.
Services
B2B services
Microelectronics
RISC-V, SoC, digital IP
System-on-Chip and digital IP design based on the open RISC-V architecture, using open-source EDA tools, for low-power sensing and monitoring applications.
Electronic design
FPGAs, MCUs, embedded systems
Schematics, PCB layout and BOM for low-power and high-performance boards, and FPGA design for demanding real-time applications.
Firmware
Standalone, Linux, RTOS
Bare-metal, RTOS and embedded Linux firmware, board support packages, drivers and remote update mechanisms, built to run reliably for years on battery-powered devices.
Embedded algorithms
Edge computing
Signal processing, sensor fusion and machine learning running on the device itself, so that data is filtered, analysed and acted upon at the edge before it reaches the cloud.
Cloud solutions
AWS, Google Cloud, serverless computing
IoT back-ends, device management, dashboards and data pipelines, and connectors to share data securely with third parties through European data spaces.
Solutions
We provide turn-key solutions to meet your smart product needs
Low power devices
Battery-powered sensors and trackers designed for years of autonomy, with Bluetooth Low Energy, cellular IoT and other low-power links.
Internet of Things (IoT)
Connected devices and the cloud platform behind them: provisioning, monitoring, remote updates and data visualisation for whole fleets of devices.
Advanced connectivity
5G and satellite (non-terrestrial network) connectivity for devices that must keep working where there is no terrestrial coverage.
Positioning and tracking
GNSS and RTK positioning and asset tracking, from centimetre-level accuracy on site to tracking goods across global supply chains.

Lightweight connectors and interoperability so that devices and companies can share data under their own rules, following European data space standards.
Secure connected devices
Certificate-based authentication, encrypted communications and secure update mechanisms built into the device from the design stage.
Sectors
Where our technology is at work
Logistics and ports
Trackers, high-precision positioning and data spaces for cargo, containers and port operations.
Energy
IoT devices and data space connectors for distributed energy systems and the data they share.
Health and active ageing
Wearables, voice interfaces and remote monitoring for patients and older adults.
Semiconductors
RISC-V System-on-Chip design for low-power, low-cost sensing, contributing to Europe's chip value chain.
Aeronautics
Critical communications and FPGA-based systems built for demanding, safety-critical environments.
Industry
Connected devices, active safety and monitoring systems for industrial sites and harsh environments.
Methodology
Hardware prototyping and design
We prototype smart devices for our clients from scratch. Depending on the maturity of the solution and the scope, we design a prototype from scratch or choose between the optimal existing solutions. This development process includes:
Requirements gathering, functional design and component library development.
Schematics, PCB layout and design, BOM.
Custom enclosure design.
Firmware development.
Board and sample production, tests and bring-up.
Pilot batch production.
Full documentation and fabrication support.
Embedded software development
We develop the firmware and embedded systems that integrate smart devices into the IoT infrastructure, capture sensor data, relay it to the cloud and analyse it on the device in edge and fog computing deployments. This includes:
MCU programming.
Bare-metal firmware for sensors.
BSP for real-time and embedded operating systems.
Digital signal processing.
FPGA design.
Linux kernel development.
Cloud architecture design
We choose the cloud provider that best fits your product and develop a client-oriented solution. We help you manage and configure your IoT devices remotely, analyse sensor data with custom tools and present the results in interactive dashboards. This includes:
IoT dashboards and custom IoT platforms.
Back-end and front-end development.
AI and ML.
Custom algorithms.
Big data and decision making.
Real-time sensor data visualisation.
Data space connectors for secure data sharing.
Selected R&D projects
A selection of the publicly funded projects we have taken part in, as beneficiary or as technology provider. Most of our work for private clients is covered by confidentiality agreements and is not listed here.
Your technology partner for your next project
Our engineers come from critical communications for the aeronautical and industrial markets, and today our firmware runs on connected devices deployed at scale around the world. We have designed, built and piloted connected products for industrial companies, technology firms and European research consortia. Whether you need a complete product developed end to end or a specialised team to take on the hardest part of your system, we bring the engineering, the lab and the experience to deliver it.
We work under private development contracts and within publicly funded projects. If your project is supported by a Basque, Spanish or European programme, we know how those programmes work from the inside: we help you define the technical scope, prepare our work plan and budget, and deliver with the documentation the programme requires for justification.
Vision
We are in a moment of fast and great innovations and we believe that well-applied technology can improve people’s lives and we must do our best to make the world a better place.
We strive to build a future where technology not only meets but exceeds the demands of society, ensuring lasting value for its users and the community at large. In order to achieve this, by focusing on creating innovative, high-performance solutions optimized for specific needs, we aim to lead the transition towards a smarter, more interconnected world, specifically in the fields of embedded systems, IoT and microelectronics.
Mission
We use technology to develop radically simple solutions that always prioritize the customer experience. We develop our own hardware and software solutions from scratch to provide innovative and easy-to-use devices.
We are committed to addressing societal challenges through impactful R&D initiatives, empowering businesses, and contributing to the advancement of IoT ecosystems with sustainable and efficient technologies. Our mission is to transform the way embedded systems are designed and integrated by driving innovation and developing advanced technological solutions.
