Engineering End-to-End IoT Product Development

Kalpa is an Italian engineering and technology consultancy founded in 2012. Headquartered in Sesto San Giovanni, near Milan, the company partners with connected-product manufacturers across the full development chain.

Kalpa takes ownership of complete IoT solutions, not isolated components. The company:

  • Designs the device
  • Writes the firmware
  • Builds the mobile and web applications
  • Architects the cloud backend
  • Validates the complete system before it reaches production

 

Partnering with Telit Cinterion to Deliver Production-Ready IoT

Telit Cinterion modules are a natural fit for the connected products Kalpa’s customers build. Recent years of integration work give Kalpa direct experience with the engineering effort that sits between a module datasheet and a certified, production-ready product.

Telit Cinterion customers often need more than a module. They need a partner that can:

  • Take their requirements and design hardware around Telit Cinterion silicon
  • Develop the firmware and the cloud backend
  • Validate the complete solution
  • Bring the product to market

Kalpa absorbs the full integration scope on behalf of the customer, accelerating module adoption and protecting the design win throughout the product lifecycle. For Telit Cinterion, Kalpa serves as a reliable referral destination for customers who need engineering capacity beyond the module itself.

 

Module Integration Expertise

Kalpa integrates Telit Cinterion cellular and connectivity devices into customer solutions, managing the work required to turn a module datasheet into a certified, production-ready product. Customers most need support with:

  • Bringing up modules on custom hardware
  • Integrating the cellular stack with application firmware
  • Handling certification and field reliability
  • Connecting devices to cloud backends fit for industrial-scale fleets

 

Engineering: Turnkey Product Development

Kalpa’s engineering department delivers turnkey projects on a fixed-scope basis, with end-to-end responsibility for product development. A dedicated verification and validation function and a structured project management practice support the engineering team.

More than 100 R&D engineers work across five technical disciplines:

  • Hardware and firmware
  • Embedded software
  • Mobile
  • Cloud and web
  • AI

A typical customer engagement covers:

  • Customer collaboration: requirements capture and system architecture
  • Hardware design: schematic, PCB and integration of the Telit Cinterion module on the customer-specific board
  • Firmware development: host MCU and Telit Cinterion module integration, covering connectivity, AT command handling, OTA strategy and power management
  • Application development: companion mobile apps and cloud backend systems, when required
  • Independent V&V: verification, validation, certification support and release under segregation-of-duties principles
  • Post-release: maintenance and field support

 

Consulting: Specialist Capacity on Demand

When a customer has an internal team but needs targeted expertise, Kalpa’s consulting services place senior engineers on a time-and-materials basis across all five disciplines.

These engineers work with the customer’s existing architecture to accelerate specific workstreams. This can include connectivity firmware around a new Telit Cinterion module, the certification effort or the cloud onboarding pipeline.
