Why Pace Wireless

An experienced team of product innovation leaders ready to join your team.

Senior Hands-On Team

Work directly with leaders who each bring 30+ years of real product launch experience.

Rapid PoC Capability

Validate feasibility, cost, and performance through fast proof-of-concept before major investments.

Low-Cost DFM Mindset

We engineer low-cost, highly manufacturable designs that scale and maximize your margins.

Embedded Wireless & IoT

Deep expertise across Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Sub-GHz, GPS/GNSS, and sensor integration.

Long-Term Partner

We support clients across the full product lifecycle, from concept to production and beyond.

End-to-End Capabilities

From early concept through production, we focus on creating profitable, innovative products designed for manufacturing from day one.

Product Concept & Planning

Defining product requirements, market positioning, technology selection, and feature tradeoffs.

Proof-of-Concept (PoC)

Rapid prototyping to demonstrate feasibility, confirm cost direction, and build stakeholder confidence.

System Architecture

Designing robust, scalable hardware and software architectures for embedded wireless products.

Hardware & Firmware

Deep embedded engineering in C, Linux, Java, and RTOS environments for connected devices.

PCB Design & Development

Custom schematic capture, layout, and prototyping with RF/EMC optimization.

U.S. Based Prototyping

Domestic prototyping through our partnership with Surya Electronics in Glen Ellyn, IL.

Manufacturing (DFM)

Turnkey design-for-manufacturing packages optimizing yield, cost, and streamlined assembly.

Lifecycle Support

Continuous testing, validation, regulatory support, and production management.

How We Work

We like to start by building a working example. Seeing a concept come to life validates direction, confirms feasibility, builds confidence, and sharpens the product definition.

01

Discover

We sit down to understand the product idea, market need, timing, requirements, and technical goals.

02

Plan

We develop a fast proposal and project plan with clear first-phase objectives, cost estimates, and technology selection.

03

Prove

We build an early PoC or working prototype to confirm feasibility, cost direction, performance, and the user experience.

04

Deliver

We move into full design, prototyping, DFM, validation, manufacturing support, and ongoing lifecycle support.

The first phase gives you a clear understanding that the product design is realizable, cost-effective, and able to meet your target schedule.

What You Receive

Concrete outputs you can expect from our engagement. Not just concepts, but production-ready deliverables.

Innovation-Driven

Innovation Creates Market Advantage

To differentiate a product from the competition and build real market advantage, innovation is often what makes the difference. We use technology know-how as a tool, but keep the overall product idea, customer value, and full solution at the center of every effort.

We start by understanding the requirement and integrating existing solutions whenever that is the fastest path to a working proof of concept. When existing technology is not enough, we innovate a new solution and demonstrate it quickly.

Beyond Engineering: We add value in market guidance, product positioning, feature tradeoffs, cost optimization, technology selection, and strategic product advice.
