IoT Excellence
Since 2015 we are part of the Japanese Group MinebeaMitsumi, accelerating the development of Smart Lighting and Smart City solutions for a fully networked IoT society.
We design and engineer pioneer technologies for next generation
Smart Lighting solutions as the backbone for truly Open Cities
Paradox Engineering stems from the desire of going beyond what is generally meant as impossible, or just too complicated to be designed and deployed – to make it come true.
Our milestones
Established in 2005 and headquartered in Switzerland, we were born as a telecommunication company, serving the market of industrial data transportation. We initially developed a one-stop-shop business model providing virtual networks to connect any customer industrial operation site and enable remote and condition monitoring programs. The same model was further developed and extended to urban applications, transforming Paradox Engineering into a pioneering technology provider in the smart city’s ecosystem.
