Company introduction
Who we are and what we do: 
sevenlab is an engineering service provider based in Germany, focused on embedded systems and connected devices.  We support our clients from system architecture to implementation, with particular interest in Zephyr RTOS and Linux based platforms. Our work includes BSP development, wireless connectivity, and integration of technologies such as BLE, LTE, GNSS, LoRa, UWB, and Wi-Fi. We work hands-on with hardware, firmware, and device management infrastructure, and assist in designing sustainable and maintainable product architectures.

What makes us unique:
sevenlab is your trusted partner for end-to-end IoT solutions, specializing in embedded hardware and software development. We’ve conceptualized, developed, supported production, and managed the lifecycle of a double-digit number of products, ensuring robust, market-ready solutions. Our extensive experience with German SMEs and corporations means we understand their unique needs. By pioneering early adoption of cutting-edge technologies like CHIP (Matter), Cellular IoT (2019), Bluetooth Real-Time Location Services, and LwM2M, we deliver innovative, reliable, and future-proof solutions tailored to your success.

Working with Nordic Semiconductor:
We have been developing using Nordic’s wireless products for more than six years. We value the outstanding engineering of these devices and the excellent technical support provided by Nordic. We developed BLE enabled solutions (nRF51, nRF52, nRF53, nRF54) as well as cellular communication products based on the nRF91.

Which projects we focus on:
We are able to accompany the complete product creation, starting from the design phase, to forming requirements, implementing a solution, testing quality and finally preparing it for production.
We use an agile approach for our development, which allows us to combine high quality and quick pace. We know that high quality is the key to a low overall cost of development.
We have an exceptionally high experience level in BLE, LTE (NBIoT), battery powered devices and smart building technologies (DALI).
