What Linx Technologies does

Linx Technologies designs and manufactures RF (radio frequency) wireless components used by OEMs to add wireless connectivity to electronic products. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Merlin, Oregon, the company offers a portfolio spanning antennas (cellular/LTE, sub-1GHz ISM, LoRaWAN, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS/GNSS, plus newer Wi-Fi HaLow, ultra-wideband, outdoor, public safety, and vehicle lines), RF coaxial connectors and adapters, RF cable assemblies, coin-cell battery holders, pre-tested Hummingbird RF transmitter and receiver modules, RF wireless remote controls, evaluation kits, and custom antenna design and simulation services. The core technical proposition is supplying pre-tested, ready-to-integrate RF components that reduce the design complexity, certification burden, and time-to-market normally associated with embedding wireless functionality into a product.

Following its acquisition by TE Connectivity in July 2022, Linx Technologies operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary brand within TE Connectivity's (NYSE: TEL) broader connectivity solutions portfolio. Revenue is generated almost entirely through hardware sales of physical RF components, with no software or subscription-based revenue streams identified. Products are distributed globally through TE Connectivity's channels, including direct e-commerce via te.com (with registered-account benefits such as free sample ordering and order tracking), the LADD Store industrial distribution channel, and a network of authorized distributors. Pricing is quote-based for volume orders and is not publicly disclosed.

The company targets three customer segments: OEMs and design engineers building IoT-connected devices (primary), consumer electronics manufacturers requiring built-in wireless connectivity across Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular, GPS, and other wireless standards, and industrial IoT customers including equipment manufacturers and system integrators in factory automation, asset tracking, and smart infrastructure. Differentiation rests on proprietary RF module designs, custom antenna engineering with performance simulation, a comprehensive single-source RF component portfolio, and — post-acquisition — access to TE Connectivity's global supply chain and technical support infrastructure. Leadership consists of President and CEO Tolga Latif and VP of Engineering and Operations Shawn Hogan. Standalone financial results are not separately disclosed as Linx results are reported within TE Connectivity's consolidated financial statements.

Core offering

Linx Technologies designs and manufactures RF (radio frequency) wireless components for IoT and connected devices, including cellular, ISM/LoRaWAN, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS/GNSS antennas, RF coaxial connectors, adapters and cable assemblies, battery holders, Hummingbird pre-tested RF transmitter/receiver modules, wireless remote controls, and remote control integrated circuits. The company also provides custom antenna design and simulation services. Its products are pre-tested and ready-to-use, intended to simplify adding wireless functionality to customer products and reduce RF design complexity and time-to-market.

Product overview

Linx Technologies, acquired by TE Connectivity in July 2022, offers a comprehensive portfolio of RF (radio frequency) wireless components designed to minimize risk, delays, and technical challenges when adding wireless functionality to products. The product portfolio comprises three main categories: (1) Antennas including cellular/LTE, sub-1GHz ISM and LoRaWAN, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi/WLAN, and GPS/GNSS antennas; (2) RF Connectors and Cables including coaxial connectors, adapters, cable assemblies, and battery holders; and (3) RF Modules and Remotes including Hummingbird RF modules, wireless remote controls, and evaluation kits. The company operates under the 'Wireless Made Simple' philosophy, providing RF components that are pre-tested and ready to use, eliminating the need for engineers to design RF functionality from scratch.
