Mobile Bluetooth® applications built by people who actually understand Bluetooth

Most Bluetooth® mobile applications fail not because of UI or business logic, but because Bluetooth is treated as a black box. Bluetooth mobile apps are deceptively hard to get right.

Teams rely on platform APIs without understanding advertising behavior, scanning constraints, pairing state machines, background execution limits, RF variability, or how firmware decisions directly affect mobile reliability. The result is unstable connections, inconsistent background behavior, and edge cases that surface late—or worse, after launch.

onceLabs builds mobile Bluetooth® applications with a full-system perspective. We design mobile software alongside firmware, radio configuration, and security models, ensuring predictable behavior across devices, operating systems, and real-world environments.

Get Started

We focus on software development for wireless connectivity, with deep expertise in Bluetooth LE. We work with clients to turn real product requirements into reliable mobile and embedded software using current Bluetooth capabilities.

onceLabs develops Bluetooth firmware with a deep understanding of advertising, scanning, connection lifecycles, power management, security, and coexistence. We design firmware that works predictably with mobile operating systems, supports production constraints, and remains maintainable as Bluetooth features evolve.

Bluetooth® firmware failures are rarely caused by missing features, they are caused by incorrect assumptions about timing, state, and behavior across the stack.
