Welcome

Essensium is a fabless chip company, specialized in ASIC solutions for Wireless Sensor Networks. Essensium offers the wide range of technologies that are needed to deploy Wireless Sensor applications: indoor and outdoor RTLS (Real Time Location System) awareness implemented in system-on-chip ASICs with wireless communications and focused on low-power solutions. Essensium assists its customers from early product specification down to delivery of tested and packaged silicon. Essensium acts as a turnkey SoC provider and adds key value to those stages of the development with the highest impact on the successful delivery of a competitive SoC solution: architecture design, integration, verification and FPGA prototyping. In addition, as a total system-on-chip solutions provider, Essensium's embedded SW team can deliver all the low-level SW needed to give application developers easy access to the silicon hardware.
