Xi'an Wanxiang Electronic Technology (Vanxum) is a company specializing in the design of chips for computer image human-computer interaction protocols and zero terminals. Founded in 2014 by Nie Yan, the company is headquartered in Xi'an, China, with additional research and development labs in Shanghai and Silicon Valley. Vanxum is the creator of the real-time human-computer interaction image compression and transmission protocol (vGTP), the software-defined graphics processing unit (SD-GPU), and the graphic image content intelligent recognition system (vGAI).
The company's core technology revolves around the vGTP protocol, an innovation for transmitting and exchanging screen images from computers and mobile devices. This technology enables the separation of computation from the human-computer interface, facilitating remote, pixel-level transmission and virtualized rendering. Vanxum develops and manufactures products based on this technology, including zero terminals, thin terminals, image matrix systems, and software-defined graphics cards. Its offerings cater to various scenarios such as smart manufacturing and visual collaboration, serving industries like defense, energy, finance, education, and design. The business model involves both technology licensing and delivering turnkey solutions based on its vGTP protocol. For instance, their vDesign product allows designers to work on a cloud-based system, enhancing operational efficiency and data security.
Vanxum has achieved significant milestones, including participating in China's "Core High-end Generic" (核高基) projects and undertaking research for the national 863 Program. The firm has received multiple rounds of funding, with its latest Series A round in February 2024 from investors including Addor Capital and 1896 Capital. In February 2024, it was recognized as a "Gazelle Enterprise" for its high growth, innovation, and development potential. The company also established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Shanghai Jingxiang Microelectronics Co., Ltd., in 2020 to focus on the design of its Tequila chip, which is based on the vGTP protocol.
