"As wireless connectivity is a requirement in every industry, we remain intensely focused on developing solutions that provide the reliability, security and stability necessary for customers' applications, today and in the future."

Silex Technology invests heavily in research and development to meet the connectivity needs of this growing customer base and ensure continued growth. More than 55 percent of Silex Technology employees are dedicated to R&D, which yields a steady stream of new products, leading technology and innovations into the market. The latest product releases include SX-ULPGN, a low-cost, ultra low-power single-stream Wi-Fi IoT module and SX-SDMAC and SX-SDPAC, the industry's first IEEE 802.11ac SDIO Wi-Fi modules to deliver enterprise-grade, dual-band 802.11 ac Wi-Fi connectivity with link rates as high as 430Mbps.
