About Silex Technology
Silex Technology is a provider of secure wired and wireless network solutions with over 40 years of hardware and software expertise and more than 20 years of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth experience. The company develops embedded Wi-Fi modules (Wi-Fi 5 through Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi HaLow), System-on-Modules (SOMs) based on Qualcomm Dragonwing and NXP i.MX platforms for Edge AI applications, as well as network system solutions such as Ethernet-to-Wi-Fi bridges, USB and serial device servers, and wireless monitoring products. The value chain extends from custom design through driver development and porting, design review, and Design Validation Testing to in-house manufacturing of PCB assemblies and finished goods, including global certification (among others FCC, ETSI). Typical industries served include medical technology (patient monitoring, mobile devices), factory automation, robotics, and transport and logistics. Customers include GE Healthcare, Stryker, Dräger, the Charité and NHS facilities, as well as Murata Machinery and Fanuc. The company is headquartered with manufacturing in Kyoto (Japan); sales and engineering offices are located in Santa Ana (USA), Willich (Germany), Tokyo, Beijing, and Chennai.
