What IOxOS Technologies does

IOxOS Technologies SA is a Swiss electronic design company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Gland, Switzerland, that designs and sells FPGA-centric COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) embedded computing hardware and IP cores. The company's product portfolio spans Single Board Computers, PCI Express to VME64x bridges, FMC analog I/O modules (ADC/DAC/digital), XMC/PMC mezzanines, carrier boards, host adapters, and proprietary TOSCA Network-on-Chip FPGA Design Kits. Its technology is built around a proprietary NoC architecture with proprietary IP including the ALTHEA PCIe-to-VME transparent bridge, ADNESC ARINC 664 End System Controller certified to RTCA DO-254 DAL A, and FPGA design kits supporting Xilinx Virtex-5T, Virtex-6T, Artix-7, and Kintex UltraScale devices across form factors including VME64x, MTCA.4, VXI, PXI Express, PMC, XMC, and FMC.

The company targets three primary verticals: High Energy Physics (notably through an EPICS ecosystem collaboration with Paul Scherrer Institut), Military/Aerospace (with DO-254/DO-178B/DO-160 compliance expertise for safety-critical airborne hardware), and Industrial Control (real-time systems for energy and manufacturing). Its business model combines hardware product sales of specialized COTS components with engineering services, consulting, and training covering specification, implementation, validation, system integration, and industrialization. Pricing is quote-based with no public list prices; the company sells exclusively through direct B2B engagement ([email protected] and phone) with no disclosed reseller or distributor network.

IOxOS operates as an independent private company with no disclosed venture funding, parent company, or institutional investors. It maintains active memberships in the DO-254 Users Group, PICMG, VITA Standards Organization, the Wind River Partner Ecosystem (Silver Member since 2015), and the Xilinx Alliance Program. Operating geographies are concentrated in Europe with no disclosed global footprint, and the company is described as having 11-50 employees.
