Based in Dresden, Germany - the heart of Silicon Saxony - we are a semiconductor startup for the breakthrough development of a new non-cellular 5G wireless chipset that enables secure massive IoT use cases.

Driven by a vision of a future where technology is seamlessly integrated into our daily lives, encompassing homes, industries, public spaces and healthcare, we strive to optimize resource and energy consumption while establishing global digital sovereignty. To realize this vision, we are actively developing a low-cost and ultra-low-power 5G wireless chipset based on the revolutionary NR+ non cellular private 5G standard.

We are a member of the community because we want to offer all talented specialists the opportunity to advance the Dresden location with their know-how, even if we are unable to offer a position ourselves.
