About Us
Midwest-Born Engineering
& Operator-Grade Systems
Franklin Labs builds real-time communications systems that connect field hardware, operational software, and hosted platforms.
Who We Are
Franklin Labs is a Midwest-built blend of engineering grit, practical field experience, and modern product development. Founded by a lifelong computer nerd turned project manager, we build systems that tie together rugged hardware, dependable software, and hosted operations for real-world communications.
With roots going back to a Tandy 3000, DOS command lines only, and late nights wiring up SBCs, Franklin Labs grew from a love of making things work under real constraints. That mindset still shows up in everything we ship, from communications hardware to software platforms like LiveFusion and StormDesk.
We're parents, engineers, and builders who care about tools that operators can trust. We are less interested in hype than in creating systems that help teams stay connected, informed, and ready to act.
Our Mission
Franklin Labs is dedicated to building precise, practical, and resilient systems grounded in prairie-born grit and guided by engineering discipline. We design communications hardware, operational software, and hosted SaaS that help customers coordinate, monitor, and respond with confidence.
We're not here to overcomplicate the problem. We want to make dependable products that work in the field, scale in production, and earn trust over time.
