Proprietary protocol

In many advanced wireless and low-power applications, standard protocols are not always the optimal choice. When performance, power consumption, latency, security, or scalability requirements exceed what standardized solutions can offer, a proprietary protocol becomes a strategic advantage.

At ShortLink, we design and implement fully customized communication protocols optimized for ultra-low power ASICs and Silicon IP. Our proprietary protocol solutions are tailored to your exact system requirements — whether it is sub-GHz long-range communication, robust industrial links, medical reliability, or high-performance short-range connectivity.

We support the full development chain:

• Custom PHY and MAC layer definition
• Optimized packet structures and modulation schemes
• Ultra-low power duty-cycling strategies
• Secure authentication and encryption mechanisms
• Coexistence and interference management
• Seamless ASIC integration

By owning your protocol, you gain:

• Full control over performance and roadmap
• Reduced dependency on external ecosystems
• Differentiation from competitors
• Optimized silicon area and power consumption

Our experience spans 30+ years of wireless system and ASIC development, enabling us to deliver robust, production-ready proprietary protocol IP — from concept to silicon.
