Qualinx, a fabless semiconductor company based in Delft, The Netherlands, has raised €8M in a Series A round of funding.
The funding from FORWARD.one, InnovationQuarter Capital, and Waterman Ventures builds on earlier investments from Delft Enterprises.
Qualinx was founded by Massoud Tohidian, Iman Madadi, and Amir Reza Ahmadi Mehr as a spin-off from Delft University of Technology.
The Dutch startup claims to be pioneering ultra-low power tracking and connectivity solutions and the funding will help bring its digital RF technology to market.
In modern chip design, a large part of the analog area is now being transferred to the digital domain and digital RF technology plays a key role in enabling this transition.
With its chip available at a reduced cost compared to existing solutions and able to detect signals from all major satellite systems including GPS to accurately determine location and time, Qualinx is now gearing up to market its product.
The startup is preparing to launch its system-on-chip called QLX300+ featuring the world’s smallest and most power-efficient GNSS sensor.
