We work with Industry Leaders

Connectivity that drives business intelligence

We move beyond standard implementations to deliver determinism, accuracy, and resilience.

Whether you need sub-meter accuracy for asset tracking or a massive-scale mesh network for smart buildings, we select and optimize the right protocol stack to match your business goals.

Our Core Technologies

Ultra-Wideband (UWB)

As a Qorvo Business Partner, we are leaders in UWB implementation. We leverage this technology for high-precision Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS), secure bubble access control, and radar sensing. We utilize the latest chipsets (QM33, QM35) to deliver centimeter-level accuracy where GPS and Bluetooth fall short.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) & Bluetooth 6.0

We go beyond basic pairing. Our expertise covers Bluetooth Channel Sounding for secure distance measurement, Auracast™ for broadcast audio, and large-scale Bluetooth Mesh networks for industrial lighting and automation.

Zigbee & Matter

We ensure seamless interoperability for Smart Home and Building Automation ecosystems. We help you navigate the complexity of the Matter standard to ensure your devices communicate reliably with major platforms (Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa).

Wi-Fi, Thread & Sub-GHz:

From high-bandwidth Wi-Fi integration to long-range Sub-GHz communication (LoRa, proprietary), we design for range, penetration, and power constraints.

Why choose needCode for wireless solutions

Building a wireless product involves navigating complex trade-offs between range, power consumption, and data rate. We solve the engineering challenges that others overlook.

01 Power optimization & energy harvesting

Wireless shouldn't mean frequent battery changes. We specialize in low-power design and smart power management, optimizing sleep currents and wake-up spikes to squeeze years of life out of coin-cell batteries. We are also pioneering "batteryless" designs using energy harvesting technologies.

02 Interference mitigation & RF performance

Industrial environments are hostile to RF signals. We design robust antenna solutions and implement advanced error-handling mechanisms to ensure stable connections even in environments saturated with metal structures, concrete, and electromagnetic noise.

03 Security by besign

Connectivity opens the door to cyber threats. We implement ISO 27001-compliant security measures, including Secure Boot, encrypted Over-The-Air (OTA) updates, and cryptographic verification to protect your data and intellectual property.

04 The Qorvo advantage

Our strategic partnership with Qorvo gives us—and you—direct access to cutting-edge RF solutions, silicon-level support, and early access to next-generation hardware like UWB radar and concurrent connect technology.

Comprehensive wireless services

We cover the entire product lifecycle, acting as your extended R&D team for wireless innovation.

Technology selection & architecture

Feasibility studies to choose the optimal protocol (BLE, UWB, Thread, Wi-Fi) based on your specific range, latency, and power requirements.

Embedded firmware development

Custom firmware for communication modules using RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr OS) to ensure real-time performance and stability.

Antenna design & RF tuning

Optimizing hardware layout to maximize signal integrity and range while minimizing form factor.

Multi-protocol coexistence

Implementing complex systems where multiple radios (e.g., Zigbee + BLE) operate simultaneously without interference.

Cloud & edge integration

Seamlessly bridging your edge devices to the cloud (Azure, AWS) for real-time analytics and remote management.

NeedCode-case study - IoT Solution for Boat Lift Modernization - cover2s

Custom hardware and software development kit for smart home remote control

We engineered a custom hardware design and a Software Development Kit (SDK) focused on dual-protocol functionality (BLE and ZigBee). This project achieved robust BLE pairing and button testing, providing a versatile, multi-standard control solution for future smart home pilots.

Bluetooth mesh implementation for large-scale smart building control

We engineered a reliable and scalable lighting control system built on the Bluetooth Mesh standard. This project focused on developing a solution for end-to-end Smart Building Management, utilizing mesh networking for robust communication and global interoperability across thousands of devices.

Solving the hardest trade-offs in wireless design

Wireless connectivity is never just about sending data from point A to point B. It is a constant battle between range, power consumption, and reliability. We bridge the gap between "working in the lab" and "performing in the field."

The Challenge: "The Battery Drain"

The Pain Point:
High-performance connectivity often comes at the cost of frequent recharges. Users expect devices to last months or years, but standard implementations drain energy rapidly, leading to poor UX and high maintenance costs.

Our Solution: Energy-Aware Architecture
We don't just optimize code; we optimize physics. By implementing aggressive sleep modes, efficient wake-up protocols, and minimizing radio "on-air" time, we squeeze maximum life out of every milliampere.

Result: Coin-cell operated sensors that last for years, not weeks.

The Challenge: "The 'Works on My Desk' Syndrome"

The Pain Point:
Your prototype works perfectly in the office but fails immediately in a warehouse full of metal racking, concrete walls, and electromagnetic noise. Packet loss and latency spikes render the system unusable.

Our Solution: Industrial-Grade Resilience
We design for hostile RF environments. Using advanced error correction, frequency hopping (FHSS), and antenna diversity, we ensure your signal cuts through the noise. We stress-test connectivity against interference to guarantee determinism.

Result: Stable, industrial-strength connections even in the most challenging environments.

The Challenge: "The Security & Scalability Gap"

The Pain Point:
Connecting a thousand devices is exponentially harder than connecting ten. As networks scale, they become vulnerable to congestion and cyber threats, risking data integrity and compliance violations.

Our Solution: Secure, Scalable Mesh Networks
We architect networks built for growth. Whether it's a massive Bluetooth Mesh lighting system or a secure UWB access control network, we implement "Security by Design" (encryption, secure boot) and efficient traffic management to prevent bottlenecks.

Result: A network that grows with your business without compromising safety or speed.
