Overview
Minew is a China-based IoT hardware designer and manufacturer focused on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), LoRa/LoRaWAN, UWB/GNSS, gateways, sensors, and developer tooling. The company offers a broad product catalog — beacons, asset/personnel tags, environmental sensors, gateways (Ethernet/PoE/4G), electronic shelf labels, and connectivity modules — and supports end-to-end deployments via ODM/OEM customization, developer SDKs, and cloud/device management tools. Minew emphasizes industrial and commercial use cases (warehouses, hospitals, retail, museums), precise indoor localization (including Bluetooth AoA/AoD), and rapid PoC-to-production transitions through in-house R&D and manufacturing capacity. The site highlights company scale and credibility with “18+ years” of custom service experience, an ~108,000 ft² workshop, 300+ cases, and 200+ patents/certifications, positioning Minew as a hardware-first IoT partner for enterprises and integrators.
