Platform Enablement
Add connectivity without starting over.
Photon plugs into existing products and architectures—so you can ship connected experiences faster, with minimal hardware change.
Designed for real deployments—updates, operations, and long-term support included.
Keep what works.
Add what's missing.
Platform Enablement is for teams with shipping products who want to add connectivity—without a full redesign and without creating a second product architecture.
Faster time-to-connected
Ship connected experiences without rebuilding your product from scratch.
Consistent operations
Support workflows that actually work at scale.
Safe evolution through updates
Rollout controls that prevent incidents.
Connected electronics that fit your product
You keep your product identity and customer experience. We design, manufacture, and integrate the connected electronics.
You keep
- • Product identity & branding
- • Enclosure & mechanical design
- • Final assembly line
- • Customer experience ownership
Photon provides
- → Connected electronics (designed & manufactured)
- → Firmware & secure connectivity
- → Cloud platform & APIs
- → OTA updates & fleet operations
- → Ongoing support & evolution
What enablement delivers
Connectivity foundation
A proven device-to-cloud layer integrated into your firmware.
Fleet operations
Visibility, diagnostics, and workflows built for support teams—not just engineers.
Updates you can trust
Staged rollouts with pause and recovery paths.
Mobile-ready integration
APIs that let your apps control devices predictably.
A path to scale
Start small, then expand across your existing fleet when ready.
The enablement path
A structured path from assessment to production—designed to minimize risk.
Fit check
We map your current architecture, constraints, and what "connected" must mean in real usage.
Integration
We integrate the connectivity layer into your firmware and validate behavior end-to-end.
Field proof
A limited pilot to validate stability, usability, and operational readiness.
Rollout
A controlled expansion across your fleet—with measured rollout and update posture.
Timelines depend on device constraints, access level, and pilot scope.
This works best when…
- ✓ You have an existing product line and want to add connectivity quickly
- ✓ You can update firmware (directly or via your manufacturing flow)
- ✓ You want one connected foundation across multiple SKUs
- ✓ You care about long-term operations, not just a demo
Not a fit when…
- × You need a one-week prototype for a presentation
- × Firmware modification isn't possible
- × You want connectivity without an operational plan
What we'll need from your side
A shipping product
A device with enough headroom for a reliable connected layer.
Firmware access
The ability to integrate and validate changes responsibly.
A technical owner
One person who can align decisions and unblock integration.
A rollout plan
Pilot scope and success criteria—even if it starts small.
Common enablement scenarios
Modernize an installed base
Add connected control and telemetry without hardware redesign.
Unify multiple SKUs
One foundation across variants—less fragmentation, fewer surprises.
Prepare for scale
Make updates and support workflows real before expanding deployment.
