What Borqs Technologies does

Borqs Technologies, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California, is an embedded software and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions company now operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sasken Technologies Ltd. following its April 2025 acquisition. The company provides customizable, differentiated, and scalable Android-based smart-connected mobile devices via its proprietary Android+ Software platform, alongside end-to-end cloud-service solutions. Its product portfolio spans smartphones and tablets, devices for vertical segments, award-winning wearable devices for children, adults, and the elderly, the Borqs Automobile Infotainment System and IVI Solutions with secure client-to-cloud connectivity and real-time OTA updates, M2M Solutions, Smart Appliance Solutions for unified smart-home connectivity, a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) platform with over 10 million SIM cards online and a Top 3 ranking in China, and Google Mobile Services (GMS) licensing and integration as an add-on module.

The company makes money through a diversified revenue mix: hardware sales of differentiated smart devices, professional services for custom embedded software in automotive, IoT, and smart appliances, subscription/recurring revenues from MVNO connectivity services, and licensing/royalties from GMS integrations. Its go-to-market is enterprise-focused, delivered through direct OEM partnerships with automobile manufacturers, ODM relationships for device manufacturing, and MVNO franchisee networks, primarily in the United States, China, and India. Post-merger, the combined Sasken-Borqs entity is repositioned as an AI-first embedded and IoT engineering firm targeting semiconductor, automotive, and industrial sectors with end-to-end design capabilities from concept to commercialization, reporting consolidated FY26 revenue of approximately $125.5 million with 27.4% organic growth in strategic accounts.
