Standardized. Optimized. Integrated.

Protocol Stacks for your application and target hardware..

Protocol stack customization and porting.

Proven technology. Maximum flexibility.

Our protocol stacks combine flexibility with proven technology: They are based on a well-established, modular architecture and can be efficiently adapted to specific application requirements – functionally as well as in terms of target hardware.

Even our standard products offer a high level of configurability: As a user, you can adjust numerous settings yourself. However, if your use case requires features beyond the standard functionality, we offer targeted customization services – perfectly aligned with your communication needs.

Our solutions are also highly adaptable to various hardware setups: STACKFORCE stacks are available for a wide range of common microcontroller and radio platforms. If your desired hardware isn’t yet supported, we’ll port it efficiently – so you can use exactly the platform that fits your product best.

Stack customization for your application.

Two practical examples: Agile and goal-oriented customer solutions

Extension for alternative modulation technology

For one project, we extended our standard Wireless M-Bus / OMS® stack to also support LoRa® modulation. This allowed the customer to combine the strengths of both technologies within a single system – without having to develop an entirely new stack.

Layer separation for distributed system architecture

A customer required the stack to be split across two hardware units. We adapted the architecture so that higher protocol layers run on the host controller, while lower layers are handled by the communication controller. Result: A high-performance and resource-efficient solution for distributed designs.

Protocol stack porting to your target hardware.

Reliable technology for flexible solutions

Our protocol stacks are designed to be hardware-independent – and can be efficiently ported to your desired platform. This way, you benefit from robust STACKFORCE software without compromising on your hardware architecture. The following stacks and hardware platforms are available off-the-shelf.

Your preferred platform isn’t listed? Whether it’s a microcontroller, transceiver or modular system platform: We’ll make your stack run where it’s needed – reliably, efficiently, and with a clearly documented process.

Our porting process – step by step:

Joint planning

We discuss your requirements and define the project scope. This results in clearly structured work packages.

Hardware preparation

You provide the target hardware in a portable-ready state – we handle the rest.

Porting to your desired platform

We port our current standard software once to your platform – including initial verification using official test tools (if available) and our internal procedures.

Documentation & traceability

You receive a detailed porting report with all relevant software versions and test results.

Software delivery

We provide the finished, ported software via download link. On request, we can return your hardware – easily and transparently.

Maintenance & updates

As part of active maintenance packages, we provide you with regular updates – ensuring long-term reliability.

What does it mean to customize a protocol stack?

 

It means we tailor a standard stack to your specific requirements – e.g., code size, interfaces, extended security features, or custom use cases. We modify or expand the stack to perfectly match your application and system architecture.


Customization allows for fast and cost-effective implementation. You benefit from proven technology while meeting your specific needs – without the overhead of full custom development.

 

In many cases, customization is sufficient, especially if your needs mostly align with standard functionality but require targeted adaptations – such as special commissioning protocols or backward compatibility with proprietary systems. If your needs exceed what a standard stack can offer, a custom stack might be the better option. Let’s discuss your use case together.

 

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on the complexity of your requirements. Simple customizations can be completed in a few weeks, while more complex modifications may take longer. Porting timelines also vary. Together we’ll define a clear project plan with milestones and timelines.

 

Yes. We provide a detailed Porting Guide that walks you through the process step-by-step. If needed, we also offer additional support services.

 

You receive ongoing support, including regular updates and maintenance. For porting, we can assist with certification processes. Support packages are available upon request.
