Silicon Labs Offshore Development Center

silicon labs logoWith a dedicated Silicon Labs development center in Vietnam, we offer engineering services from the largest SiLabs team in the world (other than Silicon Labs itself). Established in 2019, the design center includes more than 100 employees supporting Silicon Labs directly, as well as delivering product development services to clients. A unique feature of the center is that we maintain a 150-node mesh network for extensive testing of device connectivity at scale.

Our familiarity with Silicon Labs’ 1) products, 2) development tools, and 3) manufacturing/commissioning processes, along with our extensive test bed, means we are the fastest way to get reliable connected products to market.

Let’s discuss how our dedicated SiLabs design team can help develop your connected product. Consult our engineers to gain realistic budget and timeline estimates.

Our Dedicated Silicon Labs Design Services

Serving as Silicon Labs’ largest offshore partner, we offer global product design services for both their products and end-customers. Below are some of the common types of products we help develop, maintain and support.

 

Multi-Protocol Hubs Developing multi-protocol hubs can be a challenge unless your team, like ours, has done it already. We have worked on multiple hubs including all the common standards such as Thread, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave and Bluetooth.
Matter-Enabled Devices Matter has the promise of simplifying the commissioning and operation of connected devices for consumers. Realizing the dream requires a team that understand the security, how to commission over Thread, Wi-Fi, etc., and that can successfully transition from legacy standards.
Battery-Powered Wi-Fi Devices Silicon Labs low-power Wi-Fi chips are a game changer for battery-powered devices — using less than a third of the power of their competition. Realizing all the potential power savings, while ensuring your product is quick to respond, can be a design challenge. Our engineers are used to power challenges and are experts in verifying that low-power states are maintained in real-world circumstances.
Wi-SUN Products Need the range of LoRa but prefer to avoid the vendor lock-in that comes with a proprietary solution? Wi-SUN (Smart Ubiquitous Networks) is perfect for large-scale outdoor IoT wireless communication networks, and we can help.
