The engineering challenge
A smart-home brand needed more than a prototype: a manufacturable Zigbee gateway that pairs cleanly with Home Assistant, Echo Plus, Hue, and SmartThings — at a retail cost structure and with packaging ready for Amazon and Shopee.
What ELG engineered
ELG took the product from design through prototype confirmation to manufacturing: a Zigbee 3.0 USB dongle gateway bridging Zigbee devices to computers and IoT networks, with branding, paid advertising support, and domestic plus international marketplace placement.
Why it matters to your business
Most engineering houses stop at the prototype. Bee-Sync proves ELG can carry a connected product all the way to retail shelves — hardware, firmware, manufacturing handoff, and go-to-market assets in one engagement.
