Company mission

To fundamentally change the nature of IoT connectivity.

Our take

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are integral for accurate location and time information, but they often consume substantial power and come with bulky components. Recognising the need for more efficient and compact solutions, Qualinx has created a radio chip, the QLX300+, offering GNSS functionality with significantly lower power consumption, smaller chip size, and reduced cost.

Qualinx's primary innovation lies in its Digitally Reconfigurable Functionality (DRF) technology, that reduces power consumption and offers smaller, more affordable packages compared to traditional radios. The QLX300+ is a testament to the success of this approach, being hailed as the world's smallest and most power-efficient GNSS sensor.

A recent funding round will play a crucial role in helping Qualinx complete the development of its second-generation GNSS IoT radio Soc and commence mass production in 2024. The company's forward-thinking approach to addressing the power and size constraints of GNSS solutions position Qualinx for a promising future, with the potential to disrupt and improve various industries that rely on location and time data.
