CISC Semiconductor proudly announces strategic technology collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, a world-renowned innovator in wireless technology and semiconductor solutions.
The partnership is centered around CISC’s RAIN Xplorer, a state-of-the-art RFID test solution designed for precise frequency sensitivity, communication range, and backscatter measurements. Its performance, intuitive GUI, and API integration for custom test sequences have met Qualcomm Technologies’ rigorous standards for quality, support, and scalability.
This collaboration is being touted as a significant milestone in mobile innovation: the development of the world’s first enterprise mobile processor with integrated UHF (RAIN) RFID reader capabilities.
CISC Semiconductor’s Pistauer Comments
Markus Pistauer, CEO of CISC Semiconductor believes this partnership will accelerate the RFID industry.
“Quality, scalability, and innovation,” said Pistauer. “Future mobile devices equipped with RFID read capabilities will transform how consumers interact with products — from accessing detailed information in stores to enhancing traceability in supply chains.”
RFID Integration
CISC Semiconductor, headquartered in Austria, has been driving Austrian innovation globally for over 25 years. Its technologies are embedded in over 80% of smartphones and modern vehicles worldwide. As an active contributor to international standardization bodies, CISC plays a pivotal role in shaping global communication standards and enabling sustainable, high-quality RFID and NFC production.
Officials from both companies see this collaboration not only underscoring the technological synergy between two industry leaders but sets the stage for a new era of mobile intelligence and RFID integration.
“With CISC’s equipment, we successfully developed the Q-6690 — the world’s first enterprise mobile processor with integrated UHF RFID capabilities,” said Vivek Mehta, Director of Product Management at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “This innovation empowers intelligent data solutions at the edge and sets a new benchmark for enterprise-grade mobile technology.”
