About XelNet Technologies

Fifteen years of engineering excellence, driven by a singular mission — to make world-class embedded hardware accessible to innovators everywhere.

XelNet Technologies office and lab

From a Garage Lab to a Global Brand

XelNet was founded in 2009 by a team of embedded systems engineers who saw a gap in the market between cheap hobby boards and enterprise-only solutions.

What started as a small operation designing custom carrier boards for local businesses quickly grew into something much bigger. By 2012, we had launched our first proprietary System-on-Module line, and the response from the engineering community was overwhelming.

Today, XelNet Technologies serves over 2,000 businesses across 45 countries. We design, manufacture, and distribute more than 500 products spanning SoMs, SBCs, stamp boards, laboratory instruments, industrial equipment, and PLCs — all from our ISO 9001:2015 certified facilities.

Our approach has never changed: build hardware that engineers actually want to use — well-documented, reliably sourced, and backed by real technical support.

What Drives Everything We Do

Six principles that guide every product decision, every support interaction, and every line of code we write.

Reliability First

Every product undergoes thermal, EMI, and lifecycle testing. We don't ship anything we wouldn't use in our own lab.

Knowledge Sharing

Comprehensive datasheets, open-source BSPs, and detailed application notes — because good documentation is a feature.

Continuous Innovation

We invest 18% of revenue back into R&D, constantly exploring new architectures, materials, and manufacturing methods.

Customer Partnership

We don't just sell products — we embed our FAEs into your team to ensure success from prototype to production.

Long-Term Thinking

Minimum 10-year product lifecycles. We plan for obsolescence so you never have to redesign unexpectedly.

Operational Transparency

Real-time order tracking, full BOM disclosure, and open communication — we earn trust through visibility.
