1/F, Harbour View 2, 16 Science Park East Avenue, Sha Tin, New Territories, Hong Kong
Overview
SMIT provides devices that enable secure digital content delivery for the pay TV industry, allowing authorized subscribers access to protected content on any device, any place, anytime. We are a global leader in the design and development of conditional access modules (CAMs), which enables the delivery of premium content to digital TVs without the need for a set-top-box (STB). Our CAMs are custom designed to meet the strict security requirements of each conditional access (CA) provider and the varied user-interface and compliance requirements of each pay TV operator. As over-the-top TV (OTT), internet video streaming, transforms the way content is delivered and consumed, we are actively developing new security devices to be used with multiple screens in the household.

- Sensel
Participated · Series A · Mar 2020
Sensel began with the Morph consumer device as a proof of concept for its multitouch, haptic trackpad technology but pivoted away from consumer hardware to focus on OEM licensing. Its core product is a cost-effective, high-volume haptic touchpad module that laptop manufacturers can integrate. The company counts Lenovo as one of its biggest hardware partners. Sensel has entered a strategic module partnership with Global Lighting Technologies (GLT) to scale manufacturing and improve manufacturability. The firm says new funding will support further scaling of its technology and continued R&D for future products. The company was founded in 2013 and is based in the Bay Area. To date it has raised $57 million. Founded in 2013 and based in Sunnyvale, Sensel began by shipping the Morph modular music and computing peripheral. The company’s core product is an advanced pressure-sensing touch sensor that it says outperforms existing touch technologies on multiple metrics at lower cost. Over recent years Sensel has shifted its focus from a standalone hardware product toward supplying pressure-sensing components to smartphone and tablet OEMs. The company intends to work with device manufacturers to integrate its sensing technology into third-party devices while continuing to support the Morph product. Sensel raised a $28 million Series A that brings its total funding to $38 million; the financing is expected to support that strategic pivot and broader commercialization efforts.
