Founded in 2015 as a TU Delft spin-off and led by CEO Tom Trill, Qualinx is a deep-tech fabless semiconductor company focused on ultra-low-power connectivity for a wide range of devices and applications.

The company has advanced its proprietary Digital Radio Frequency (DRF) technology from academic research to validated silicon and scalable real-world deployment. DRF shifts many traditional analog functions of a wireless chip into the digital domain.

The QLX3Gx architecture enables CMOS scaling for GNSS and other radios, reducing power consumption, chip size, and cost. It also allows radios to be configured and reconfigured via software for different applications, extending product lifespans and enabling a single chip to serve multiple use cases.

The QLX3Gx Series is produced by GlobalFoundries in Dresden, Germany keeping manufacturing within the European Union and minimizing supply-chain risks.
