“How Does This Tiny Chip Change Everything?” - Tom Trill, Qualinx CEO, on the Industry Ignited Podcast

Delft, The Netherlands, April 20th, 2026: Tom Trill was featured on the latest episode of Industry Ignited Podcast hosted by Leeanne Aguilar to discuss how Qualinx developed a tiny next-generation GNSS receiver chip that moves traditional analog radio frequency systems to digital domain and delivers ultra-low power and longer operational lifetime.

How a tiny chip that consumes 10x less power can redefine the connected edge?

In the episode of the Industry Ignited Podcast, Qualinx CEO, Tom Trill shares the story behind a breakthrough innovation: a next-generation GNSS receiver chip designed to dramatically reduce power consumption for extending operational lifetime.

The conversation begins with a simple but powerful question: How does a tiny chip change everything?
For Qualinx, the answer is clear: performance means delivering ultra-low power and long operational lifetimes, without compromise.

Designed for applications like wearables, IoT devices, and trackers, Qualinx’ QLX3Gx combines secure positioning, multi-band performance, and up to 10x lower energy use.

But breakthrough innovation doesn't stand on its own, it's powered by the team behind it. As highlighted in the conversation, building in an emerging field like digital RF goes beyond technical expertise, it requires a culture of continuous learning, ambition and delivering results without compromise.

A tiny chip like QLX3Gx doesn't just extend battery life. It changes what engineers can build and what becomes possible at scale.
