Our Custom Solutions Group Help OEMs Bring Connected Products to Market Faster
MultiTech's Custom Solutions Group helps OEMs design, engineer, and manufacture connected IoT products faster; from LoRaWAN and 5G cellular to ASIC design and global-scale production. Learn how we reduce development risk and accelerate innovation.
Today’s OEMs face a difficult challenge: innovate faster, reduce development costs, navigate supply chain uncertainty, and deliver differentiated products that create lasting competitive advantages.
Whether you’re developing a new connected product, modernizing an existing platform, adding wireless connectivity, or optimizing manufacturing costs, success requires expertise across hardware design, embedded systems, wireless communications, software integration, sourcing, regulatory compliance, and production scaling.
Building those capabilities internally can require significant investment in people, infrastructure, and supplier relationships.
That’s where the MultiTech Custom Solutions Group comes in.
For more than 50 years, MultiTech has helped OEMs transform ideas into market-ready products by providing purpose-built engineering, design, manufacturing, and IoT integration services.
Our Custom Solutions Group combines deep technical expertise, global manufacturing resources, and proven connectivity technologies to help customers accelerate innovation while reducing risk.
More than a contract manufacturer or design house, MultiTech serves as a strategic development partner; helping customers move from concept to prototype, from prototype to production, and from production to long-term lifecycle success.
A Flexible Partner for Every Stage of Product Development
Not every customer starts in the same place. Some organizations come to us with an idea and need help validating a concept. Others have a working product that requires wireless connectivity, manufacturing optimization, or redesign to address component availability challenges. Some simply need additional engineering resources to accelerate development timelines.
The MultiTech Custom Solutions Group is designed to meet customers wherever they are in the product lifecycle.

The MultiTech Custom Solutions Group is designed to meet customers wherever they are in the product lifecycle.
- Accelerate proof-of-concept and prototype development
- Extend internal engineering teams without increasing headcount
- Add LoRaWAN®, cellular, Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi, RFID, and NFC connectivity
- Reduce development and manufacturing costs
- Improve product performance and reliability
- Navigate supply chain disruptions and component obsolescence
- Scale production through global manufacturing resources
- Deliver complete, end-to-end IoT solutions; not just components
Our vertically integrated team of engineers, scientists, and technicians brings expertise across every stage of development—from concept and architecture through manufacturing, deployment, and lifecycle management.
From Components to Complete Solutions
Many organizations can design circuit boards. Fewer can design, manufacture, certify, and support a complete connected solution at global scale.
MultiTech’s Custom Solutions Group delivers proven expertise across the full IoT stack:
Sensing & Data Collection
Wireless IoT Connectivity
- LoRaWAN® ideal for long-range, low-power sensor networks
- Cellular LTE and 5G for high-bandwidth, always-on industrial applications
- Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) for short-range, ultra-low-power proximity use cases
- Wi-Fi for data-rich environments requiring local network integration
- NFC and RFID for asset identification, access control, and supply chain applications
Custom Electronics & ASIC Design
For customers requiring unique functionality, performance optimization, or aggressive cost targets, we offer custom ASIC development, ultra-low-energy circuit design, and specialized electronic engineering services; purpose-built to your application requirements.
Embedded Software & Cloud Integration
We connect IoT devices to cloud platforms, enterprise systems, mobile applications, and analytics tools; enabling customers to unlock the full operational value of their connected data.
End-to-End IoT Product Development
By combining sensing, wireless connectivity, embedded software, and manufacturing expertise under one roof, we help customers build complete solutions rather than assembling one-off components from multiple vendors.
Accelerating Innovation While Reducing Development Risk
One of the greatest challenges facing OEMs today is balancing the demand for innovation with the reality of operational risk.
Developing a new connected product requires significant investment in engineering talent, manufacturing infrastructure, supplier relationships, quality systems, and regulatory compliance processes.
For many organizations, these costs and timelines represent a serious barrier to market entry.
The MultiTech Custom Solutions Group helps remove that barrier.
Our team has contributed to products responsible for billions of dollars in market value, providing customers with access to proven development methodologies, established global supplier networks, and scalable manufacturing infrastructure; without requiring the capital investment of building those capabilities internally.
This allows OEM partners to stay focused on their core business while leveraging MultiTech’s expertise to manage the complexity of connected product development.
Global Manufacturing with a Single Point of Accountability
Designing a product is only half the challenge. Successfully manufacturing it at scale is where many organizations encounter unexpected complexity.
MultiTech simplifies that process through a global manufacturing footprint and a single source of accountability.
Our manufacturing capabilities span facilities in:
Mounds View, Minnesota, USA
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Guangdong, China
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Huizhou, China
Penang, Malaysia
Built for Quality. Designed to Scale.
When selecting a design and manufacturing partner, quality is non-negotiable — particularly for industrial IoT applications where product failures have real operational consequences.
MultiTech maintains rigorous quality management processes throughout the product lifecycle:
- Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)
- Automated functional testing
- Statistical Process Control (SPC)
- Engineering-controlled revision management and AVL management
- Comprehensive quality management systems
Our manufacturing operations consistently deliver:
- Out-of-box reject rates below 200 PPM
- Internal production yields exceeding 99%
- On-time delivery performance between 99–100%
Our facilities operate under internationally recognized quality and environmental standards, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 13485 certifications.
Solving Complex Problems with Purpose-Built Connected Solutions
Every OEM challenge is unique. Some organizations need to add cellular or LoRaWAN connectivity to an existing product. Others require ultra-low-power electronics capable of operating on battery for years in remote environments. Some need custom sensing technologies, while others need a complete connected ecosystem designed from the ground up.
The MultiTech Custom Solutions Group is built to solve exactly these kinds of challenges.
Our engineering team continuously evaluates emerging wireless technologies, new chip architectures, and innovative system designs; identifying opportunities for our customers to gain competitive advantage in their markets.
We don’t fit customers into predefined solutions. We collaborate closely to understand your business objectives, technical constraints, regulatory requirements, and market timing before designing a solution tailored specifically to those needs.
Why OEMs Choose MultiTech as Their IoT Development Partner
OEMs choose MultiTech because they gain more than a supplier; they gain a strategic product development partner.
With deep expertise spanning hardware engineering, wireless connectivity, embedded software, global manufacturing, supply chain management, regulatory compliance, and full lifecycle support, we help organizations move from concept to production faster, with less risk, and with a clear path to scale.
Whether you’re launching a new connected industrial product, modernizing a legacy platform with IoT capabilities, expanding manufacturing capacity, or simply looking for a trusted partner to accelerate your next innovation; the MultiTech Custom Solutions Group is ready to help.
