Company Description

Innovision Research & Technology plc is a UK registered company (no. 03024348) and operates from its head office and IC design facility in Cirencester and system design facility in Wokingham, UK.

We are leading the way in providing semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) to enable customers to compete in the emerging market for Near-Field Communication (NFC), which is targeted primarily at the next generation of mobile handsets and consumer electronic devices. This activity builds on and extends our existing business supplying innovative Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and UHF IC solutions, utilising skills, expertise and IP developed over many years and across a diverse range of applications worldwide.

The company is listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) of the London Stock Exchange, ticker symbol INN (share price information can be found by clicking on the LSE icon to the left). The company continues to invest in the development of new technologies and the enhancement and commercialisation of its near-field data communications product range.

The company’s primary product is semiconductor IP, which our customers licences for integration into their own ICs and end system products. We develop this semiconductor IP on CMOS technology across a wide range of geometries from 0.35um to 90nm and below and have one fo the world’s largest RFID and NFC focused IC development teams, with proven experience in mixed-signal IC design, with over 60 RFID/Wireless IC developments to date. Our design team operates across multiple-frequencies covering 125KHz, 13.56MHz, 800-900MHz, 2.4GHz+ as well as multiple standards compliant protocols including ISO 18092 NFC, EPC, ISO 14443A/B/FeliCa and ISO 15693. Our licensing approach has significant benefits both in reducing manufacturing and distribution costs and, through its royalty structure, ensuring participation in successful end products in selected markets.
