An IoT development company can typically deliver a prototype in 4-12 weeks, depending on complexity, available hardware, and required integrations. Simple proof-of-concepts (like basic sensor-to-app connectivity) may be ready in a month.

How does IoT development differ from standard software or embedded systems projects?
IoT development integrates hardware, connectivity, and cloud systems, requiring expertise in sensors, communication protocols, and real-time data handling. Traditional software focuses mainly on apps or servers without managing physical devices.
Unlike embedded systems, IoT extends beyond standalone device logic by enabling internet connectivity, remote updates, and large-scale data analytics. It emphasizes scalability and security, while embedded projects usually focus on localized, device-specific functionality.
What platforms and frameworks do top IoT agencies use?
IoT agencies use the following platforms and frameworks:
- Cloud IoT platforms: AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Google Cloud IoT, IBM Watson IoT, Oracle IoT Cloud
- Industrial/IIoT platforms: Siemens MindSphere, ThingWorx, Cumulocity IoT, Arm Pelion
- Open-source frameworks: DeviceHive, Mainflux, Thinger.io, Kaa IoT, Zetta, Eclipse IoT
- Embedded firmware and RTOS: Mongoose OS, Apache Mynewt, RT-Thread
- Data and messaging tools: Apache IoTDB, Apache Kafka
- Prototyping and visual tools: Node-RED, Arduino, PlatformIO, ThingSpeak
