Our expertise, both onshore and offshore, covers the full range of mesh protocols including Zigbee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth Mesh, and Matter. We have been a leading provider of Zigbee development services and Z-Wave development services for years, and now, we are proud to offer complete Matter IoT product design services.
While we work with all major silicon vendors, our status as a SiLabs Design Partner with a 100+ person dedicated SiLabs ODC gives us especially deep knowledge in the complex RF and mesh networking challenges that are critical for smart home success.
As a relatively new standard, Matter is a core focus for our team. We have deep, hands-on experience with the entire stack, from Matter embedded software development to security, including:
We are experts in building reliable “Matter over Thread” devices, often integrating SiLabs’ compelling low-power Wi-Fi solutions.
We build solutions using multi-protocol capabilities, leveraging Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for secure device commissioning.
We are experts in implementing the robust security models required by Matter, utilizing industry-leading roots of trust (such as SiLabs’ Secure Vault) for device attestation.
Migration is not just an embedded software update; it’s a strategic pivot. We don’t just build new products; we create a rational path forward for your existing ones. Our teams provide a clear roadmap for Zigbee-to-Matter migration that preserves your brand reputation. Whether you need a multi-protocol hub to bridge legacy devices or a strategy to run Thread and BLE on a single chip, we ensure backward compatibility and future readiness.
We tailor our team to meet your specific needs. Whether you need fast-moving onshore resources, a large dedicated offshore team, or a hybrid of both, we have a proven model for your success.
Our US-based Cardinal Peak engineers offer expert product design services for complex Matter, Zigbee, and Z-Wave devices. With a long history of complex system architecture and custom development, they are an ideal team for time-critical projects where rapid communication is essential.
Get the best of both worlds. This model combines US-based project leadership (Architect/Tech Lead, PM) with the scale, cost-efficiency, and deep IoT skills of our offshore engineering team. This ensures great customer communication and cost-efficiency.
We assemble an offshore team to satisfy your ongoing needs for development, operations, and maintenance. Team draws from institutional knowledge such as our 100+ person Silabs design center. This scalable model is ideal for cost-effective execution across the full product lifecycle.

A key component of our mesh networking design services is our dedicated, automated 150-node IoT Wireless Test Bed. This is not a simulation; it’s a real-world environment built to find failures before your customers do. Identify edge-case collisions and latency issues that only appear at higher node density—scenarios standard bench testing misses.
This test lab is the proof point of our mesh networking expertise. It allows us to:
Reduce BOM costs by running Zigbee and BLE on a single radio. This technical deep dive into the SiLabs multiprotocol kit demonstrates how to maintain robust mesh performance while enabling seamless mobile commissioning.
Matter is the key to ecosystem interoperability. Our engineers break down the practical steps for developing a Matter-compliant product, ensuring your device connects seamlessly with Apple Home, Google Home, and Alexa.
Navigate the technical complexities of the Matter specification. We analyze the node structure, data model, and security requirements to help you architect a compliant and future-proof connected product.

Matter IoT product design services encompass the end-to-end development of smart home devices that comply with the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) Matter standard. This includes Matter embedded software development, security implementation (such as device attestation), and integration with Thread or Wi-Fi transport layers to ensure seamless interoperability with ecosystems like Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa.
Engineering services for Zigbee to Matter product migration involve updating legacy Zigbee devices to support the new Matter standard, often without changing the underlying hardware. This process typically requires a strategic firmware update (embedded software) to replace the Zigbee stack with a Matter-compliant stack, ensuring backward compatibility and preserving the user experience for existing customers.
Yes, through multi-protocol hub IoT product design. A multi-protocol hub utilizes concurrent radio operation or time-slicing to communicate across different standards (Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread, and Matter) simultaneously. This allows a single gateway to bridge legacy devices with modern Matter ecosystems, unifying disparate smart home products into a single cohesive network.
A dedicated 150-node IoT wireless test bed is critical for validating mesh performance because bench testing cannot simulate real-world congestion. Large-scale testing identifies edge-case failures, latency issues, and packet collisions that only emerge in high-density environments, ensuring that Zigbee, Thread, and Bluetooth Mesh products perform reliably when deployed in consumers’ homes.
Matter requires a robust IoT security design based on a hardware root of trust. Every Matter-compliant device must have a unique Device Attestation Certificate (DAC) to prove its authenticity to the network. Services like Silicon Labs Secure Vault can be used to securely store these credentials, preventing counterfeiting and ensuring that only authorized devices can join the smart home network.
