About Beijing Kaixin Micro Technology

Beijing Kaixin Micro Technology Co., Ltd. (Kaixin Technology) is a national-level, specialized “Little Giant” enterprise in China focused on the research and development of automotive-grade, high-performance fusion positioning chip platforms. The company was founded in January 2021 as a high-tech entity to commercialize technological achievements from Tsinghua University. Its core team is primarily composed of experts from Tsinghua, specializing in high-performance System-on-Chip (SoC) design, spatiotemporal signal processing, and high-precision positioning algorithms. Since its inception, Kaixin Technology has secured significant funding, including an angel round, a strategic investment from Desay SV Automotive, and an oversubscribed round of more than 100 million RMB led by Fengnian Capital. More recently, the company received a strategic investment of several hundred million RMB from a fund associated with China Information and Communication Technologies Group (CICT). A key achievement for the firm was obtaining the ISO 26262 automotive functional safety management system certification at the ASIL D level, the highest classification, underscoring its products' suitability for safety-critical applications. The company’s business model is centered on the fabless design and sale of its core products: high-precision Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Radio Frequency System-on-Chips (RF-SoCs). These chips, such as the automotive-grade KT5030A and KT5005A series, provide centimeter-level positioning accuracy. Kaixin's solutions integrate GNSS, Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) technologies to deliver continuous and reliable positioning, orientation, and attitude measurements, even in challenging urban environments. Kaixin Technology targets the markets for intelligent driving (L2+ and above), unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), and autonomous robots. It provides clients not only with chips but also with comprehensive software development kits (SDKs) to facilitate the integration of its technology into various applications. The company has built an open ecosystem and serves a client base of over 100 companies.
