In the typical ODM model, the ODM manufacturer designs, develops and manufactures the complete product. For instance, based on detailed product requirement specifications from a customer, RTX Telecom has designed a Wireless Telephone Line Extender, including the development and handling of the manufacturing of the product.

Original design manufacturer. A business model/product manufacturing method where a product is designed and assembly is performed upon receipt of functional requirements for a type of product. In the typical ODM model, the manufacturer designs the complete product. In other cases, the ODM may rely on a combination of original design capabilities for some assemblies/components and off-the-shelf components and assemblies to meet the customer requirements. This allows for the greatest level of customization and product differentiation.

Original design manufacturer. a company that manufactures products of its own designs, which are then sold under an OEM's brand name. Typically, the ODM determines what products to build and the OEM simply purchases the items ready-to-go. Unlike an EMS provider, an ODM designs products based on its own intellectual property. More and more OEMs are considering the ODM model because it offers them a more complete turnkey solution, with less design and supply-chain interactions with the supplier.
