The beginning of Linxens
On its official website, Linxens claims to be a leader in the security and authentication markets, including RFID, biometrics, secure identity, dLoc and other products, and is widely used in finance, Internet of Things, communications, transportation, medical and other fields. .
If other technologies are still familiar, then dLoc is absolutely 'unfamiliar'. It is reported that it is a system for managing and verifying important documents. By using the security of blockchain technology and Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, any document is Digital storage, sharing and real-time verification via mobile devices.
In recent years, Linxens has continued to consolidate its advantages through acquisitions. In May 2015, Linxens completed the acquisition of KnL Group. The company specializes in the manufacture of RFID and antennas, which are commonly used in bank cards, ID cards, pass cards, etc. Last April, RFID and IoT company Smartrac announced that it had sold its security ID & transaction business to Linxens, which took over all employees, assets and contractual obligations of the Smartrac Security ID & Trading business unit.
In addition, Linxens is also very active at the cooperation level. Last year, Linxens announced that it will cooperate with leading biometric technology company Fingerprint to provide T-Shape sensor modules on Prelam, the new high-performance contactless fingerprint card provided by Fingerprints. KONA I, a leading provider of smart card and payment solutions, signed a strategic cooperation agreement to join forces to enter new markets and respond to the growing smart card and security authentication market. Linxens also announced the establishment of a new dedicated division this year, focusing on Discover and develop promising innovation opportunities in the field of microelectronics.
Correspondingly, Linxens’ revenue is also rising.
Violet ambitions never diminish
Linxens's plate doesn't look too eye-catching, but in the future security and authentication market, the market has great potential. If it can be in the bag, it is definitely a real 'ammunition' for Violet.
Foreign authoritative research firm MarketsandMarkets has predicted that by 2019, the network security market is expected to grow to 155.74 billion US dollars, of which the identity authentication information security market will exceed 30 billion US dollars. From the domestic development status, the identity certification market scale to 2022 In the mobile payment field, NFC is the most ideal technology. ResearchandMarkets recently predicted that the global NFC market will reach 47.43 billion US dollars in 2024.
At present, Ziguang Group's layout in the semiconductor industry is based on Yangtze River storage, Ziguang Zengrui, and Ziguang Guoxin as the main force, involving flash memory, mobile phone chips, wireless chips, security chips, FPGAs, etc., and will continue to deepen its cultivation in the fields of AI and 5G chips. .
From the perspective of business overlap, Ziguang Guoxin’s main products include smart card security chips, memory chips, etc. If Linxens is able to combine its two swords together with NFC and blockchain technology, Ziguang Group’s strength in the area of security chips will be even stronger. The upper floors will also further widen their application boundaries.
