What Vitech does

Vitech (Vimicro Technology Corporation / 中星微技术股份有限公司) is a privately held Chinese AI chip and video security technology company founded in 1999 by Academician Deng Zhonghan with 10 million yuan in initial capital from the Ministry of Finance. The company designs proprietary XPU multi-core heterogeneous processors (Xingguang Intelligent chip series No.1 through No.5) that integrate scalar, vector, and tensor computing for AI inference and video processing, and is a co-developer of China's SVAC national standard (GB/T 25724) and the mandatory GB 35114-2017 public security video networking security standard. Its product portfolio spans chips and modules, SVAC-compliant network cameras, security gateways, access control, decoders, integrated storage platforms, and the Xingyuan Intelligent Agent AI platform, with hardware reaching 2T AI compute at sub-1W power and DeepSeek-R1 integration for natural language video retrieval.

The company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales to government public security bureaus, transportation authorities, financial institutions, telecom operators, and energy and railway infrastructure operators, supported by a channel partner network spanning 30+ Chinese provinces and nine subsidiaries plus 18 branch offices. Revenue is generated from hardware sales (chips, cameras, encoders, NVRs, security gateways) and system integration and solutions services, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Named customers include China Mobile, China Telecom (2024 Gold Partner), Datong Data Bureau, Anyang Shuzhi Group, multiple provincial public security bureaus (Taiyuan, Lanzhou, Northern China), Shandong Anyang, and Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, among others. The company has received two National Science and Technology Progress First Prizes (2004, 2013) and holds 3,000+ patents, with operations deployed across 70+ Chinese cities. A third-party source refers to a separate entity named 'Vitech' being acquired by Majesco in January 2026; this is distinct from Vimicro, which continues to operate privately under its existing structure.
