Scalinx

SCALINX is a fabless semiconductor company founded in 2015, specializing in the design and supply of advanced mixed-signal chip solutions. The company's core expertise lies in developing highly integrated System-on-Chip (SoC) products based on ultra-high-speed data converters. SCALINX's proprietary Smart Conversion CORE (SCCORE) technology enables the creation of power-efficient integrated circuits capable of processing wideband and multi-carrier signals with outstanding energy efficiency. This technology is particularly crucial for industries such as 5G and 6G wireless networks, autonomous vehicles, defense and aerospace, and test and measurement equipment.

The company's SoC solutions incorporate on-chip conditioning, data conversion, and digital processing of wideband signals. SCALINX's products are designed to address the growing demand for wider analog bandwidth and reduced power consumption in mixed-signal SoCs. As of January 2024, SCALINX had secured a total of EUR 44.5 million in funding, which will be used to expand its business operations and develop new products, particularly in the wireless communication market. The company plans to double its workforce over the next 24 months to support its growth initiatives.

Key customers and partnerships

SCALINX serves customers in various sectors, including defense and aerospace, test and measurement, and communications industries. In December 2023, SCALINX partnered with Arteris, licensing their Ncore and FlexNoC interconnect IP for its next-generation Modem SoC dedicated to wireless communication infrastructures. This collaboration aims to enhance efficiency and accelerate time to market in the 5G communications sector.

The company has also established a long-term technology partnership with Thales, a global leader in advanced technologies for aerospace, defense, and digital identity and security. In January 2024, Thales became an investor in SCALINX, further solidifying their strategic relationship. SCALINX's technology is expected to empower telecom players to deliver ultra-high capacity, multi-gigabit links over longer distances, optimizing total cost of ownership for microwave, millimeter-wave, and multi-band equipment.
