FAQs

IoT projects vary widely. A proof-of-concept with a handful of sensors and a basic dashboard starts from £8,000. Production-ready systems with custom firmware, cloud infrastructure, and mobile apps typically range from £25,000 to £80,000 depending on scale.

Yes, and we recommend it. We build functional prototypes in 4 to 6 weeks using off-the-shelf hardware like Raspberry Pi or Arduino. This lets you validate the concept, test sensor accuracy, and gather feedback before committing to a production build.

We work with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), LoRaWAN, cellular (4G/5G), and Zigbee. The right choice depends on your range requirements, power constraints, and data volume. We advise on the best option during the discovery phase.

We use end-to-end encryption for data in transit, secure device authentication with unique certificates, firmware signing to prevent tampering, and role-based access control on dashboards. All data storage complies with UK GDPR requirements.

Edge processing (on the device) is best for real-time responses and reducing bandwidth costs. Cloud processing suits data aggregation, historical analysis, and machine learning. Most IoT systems use a combination of both, and we design the split based on your latency and cost priorities.
