Telit Cinterion Details IoT R&D: 1.8 Prototype Spins Per Project
TRIESTE – October 28, 2026 -- Telit Cinterion averages 1.8 prototype iterations per IoT project, with most products reaching mass production after one or two spins, the company said in a description of its R&D process. Prototype fabrication can consume half of a project's total timeline, and a single PCB fabrication cycle can take months in the current supply chain environment.
Custom work accounts for up to 60% of R&D projects
About 50% to 60% of projects are custom IoT solutions built for specific deployments. Roughly 80% of customizations are software, and hardware changes make up the other 20%. Larger enterprises typically commission this work, while smaller businesses usually find a standard portfolio product sufficient.
Roughly 90% of solution products include a Telit Cinterion module. About 40% use NExT connectivity services, and another 40% run on the deviceWISE platform.
