Companies launching connected products
Build the device, application, cloud, support, telemetry, control, update, and commercial service around a physical product.
Connected devices, gateways, cloud services, telemetry, control, security, and fleet operations
IoT development
Rokad develops connected-product and IoT systems across devices, gateways, connectivity, cloud platforms, applications, security, analytics, and fleet operations.
Designed for / 01
A focused delivery model for the organisations that need it.
An IoT product is a distributed system with physical constraints. Rokad designs device identity, provisioning, connectivity, protocols, gateways, telemetry, commands, digital state, updates, applications, cloud services, security, observability, and fleet lifecycle as one system.
Industrial teams connecting equipment and assets
Collect trustworthy data, monitor condition, control approved actions, integrate operations, and support field devices.
Organisations modernising an existing device fleet
Improve connectivity, security, observability, protocol, update, cloud, and support foundations without replacing every device.
Challenges / 02
The problems this service is built to solve.
Connectivity is intermittent and expensive
Devices need buffering, local rules, retry, compression, prioritisation, synchronisation, and clear stale-state behaviour.
Device identity and ownership are unclear
Manufacturing, provisioning, customers, sites, permissions, credentials, transfer, reset, and decommissioning are disconnected.
Fleet issues cannot be diagnosed remotely
Operators lack version, health, telemetry, connectivity, command, update, error, and support evidence across devices.
Capabilities / 03
What Rokad can deliver.
01
IoT product, device, connectivity, protocol, security, and fleet architecture
02
Device identity, manufacturing provisioning, ownership, credentials, and lifecycle
03
MQTT, HTTP, CoAP, WebSocket, Bluetooth, cellular, LoRaWAN, gateway, and custom communication
04
Telemetry, command, state, buffering, retry, offline, edge, and local automation
05
Device registry, digital state, APIs, rules, storage, analytics, alerts, and integrations
06
Mobile and web applications, onboarding, configuration, control, support, and subscriptions
07
Firmware updates, fleet rollout, observability, security, incident response, and managed operation
Solution components / 04
The system behind the visible product.
Device and edge layer
Firmware, sensors, controls, local storage, protocols, gateway, diagnostics, updates, and offline behaviour.
Connectivity and identity
Provisioning, credentials, authentication, ownership, sessions, network choice, message delivery, and lifecycle.
IoT cloud platform
Registry, telemetry, commands, digital state, rules, storage, APIs, alerts, integrations, and fleet controls.
Product and operations
User applications, subscriptions, support, monitoring, update rollout, incidents, analytics, service, and decommissioning.
Use cases / 05
Where this capability creates practical leverage.
Connected consumer product
Provide setup, remote control, status, alerts, automation, updates, support, and subscription capabilities.
Remote asset monitoring
Collect condition and usage data, detect exceptions, support maintenance, and integrate operational systems.
Industrial gateway system
Connect local equipment and protocols to secure cloud services while preserving offline and local control.
IoT fleet modernisation
Introduce stronger identity, protocol, telemetry, update, observability, security, and operator tooling around deployed devices.
Architecture and integration / 06
Designed to fit the wider technology environment.
Desired and reported state
Represent intended configuration and last confirmed device state separately to handle delay, offline operation, and conflict.
Edge-cloud responsibility
Keep safety, latency-sensitive, offline, and privacy-critical behaviour local while using cloud for coordination and insight.
Fleet-first lifecycle
Design manufacturing identity, provisioning, transfer, credentials, updates, support, replacement, reset, and decommissioning from the start.
Quality and control / 07
Production requirements are part of the build.
Requirements before geometry
Fit, function, load, environment, power, interfaces, tolerance, material, production, and service constraints guide design decisions.
Evidence through prototypes
High-risk assumptions are tested with measurable prototypes, inspection, iteration, and documented findings before scale.
Production-aware decisions
Component availability, manufacturing method, assembly, testing, certification, repair, and lifecycle are considered early.
Delivery / 08
A controlled path from requirement to operation.
Discover
Clarify the objective, users, systems, constraints, dependencies, risks, and measurable acceptance criteria.
Architect
Define the target design, interfaces, controls, migration or delivery sequence, and operating model.
Deliver and validate
Implement in controlled increments with testing, review, documentation, observability, and stakeholder validation.
Operate and improve
Establish ownership, service controls, measurement, support, and a prioritised improvement backlog.
Typical deliverables
IoT product, device, connectivity, fleet, and risk assessment
Device, gateway, cloud, application, security, and lifecycle architecture
Firmware, protocols, provisioning, telemetry, command, and update implementation
IoT cloud services, registry, data, rules, APIs, alerts, and integrations
Mobile, web, operator, support, and fleet-management interfaces
Security, observability, rollout, incident, and operating documentation
Engagement models / 09
Use the delivery structure that matches the work.
Assessment and roadmap
A bounded evidence review, target direction, prioritised risks, and executable next-stage plan.
Fixed-scope delivery
A defined implementation, migration, prototype, procurement, or transformation outcome with acceptance criteria.
Embedded specialists
Specialists working alongside internal product, engineering, data, operations, security, or procurement teams.
Managed lifecycle
Ongoing ownership, maintenance, monitoring, supplier coordination, reliability, security, and improvement.

FAQ
IoT development
Scope, ownership, assumptions, delivery, security, and long-term operation are clarified before work begins.
01Which connectivity technology should we use?
Which connectivity technology should we use?
The choice depends on range, bandwidth, power, latency, mobility, environment, infrastructure, coverage, recurring cost, certification, security, and offline requirements.
02Can devices continue working when offline?
Can devices continue working when offline?
Yes. We define local rules, storage, queues, stale state, time, retry, synchronisation, user feedback, safety, and conflict behaviour for connectivity loss.
03How are IoT devices secured?
How are IoT devices secured?
Controls can include unique identity, secure provisioning, scoped credentials, encryption, signed firmware, secure boot, least privilege, rotation, telemetry, update, and decommissioning.
04Can Rokad manage deployed devices?
Can Rokad manage deployed devices?
Yes. Managed operations can cover fleet health, connectivity, telemetry, commands, firmware rollout, incidents, cloud services, security, cost, and support tooling.
Product engineering and prototyping
Build the connected product as one device-to-cloud operating system.
Rokad can engineer the firmware, connectivity, applications, cloud platform, fleet controls, and long-term operations.
