Lanix is a Mexican electronics manufacturing company based in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. It is Mexico's largest domestically owned maker of consumer electronics, making computers and smartphones.
History
In 1995, Lanix released its first computer, named PC 286, which was sold in Mexico and was the first personal computer made in large numbers by a domestic firm that saw widespread sales.
Since 2005, the firm has seen sustained growth. It is the largest Mexican-owned electronics manufacturer and has significant domestic market share. The company also has a presence in Latin American markets, and it is a rival of Brazil's Positivo Informatica for the third-largest share of this region's consumer electronics market. All Lanix products and components are assembled in Mexico and Chile. In March 2011, Lanix began offering a system where buyers can custom build their own computer from the bottom up, choosing different types of chipsets, memory systems and other components from Lanix and other firms. At the 2009 Intel Solutions Summit hosted by the eponymous Intel, Lanix won an award in the "mobile" category.
Products
Electronic hardware
As of 2010, Lanix makes televisons, semiconductors, DRAM, SDRAM, flash memory systems, hard disk drives, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays, desktop computers, tablet computers, netbooks, laptop computers, smartphones, DVD and Blu-ray Disc drives, servers and wireless routing systems. Lanix produces a full range of desktop computers. One such model is the Lanix Titan Magnum Extreme, the most powerful production Windows desktop in the world as of 2010.
Smartphones
In 2007, Lanix announced a newly formed branch of the firm, Lanix Mobile. This division specializes in smartphones and other mobile electronic hardware. One of its models is the Lanix Kip.
Tablet PC
In 2010, Lanix also announced a new generation of Tablet PCs with the unveiling of the Lanix W-10 tablet computer running on a full version of Windows 7. It is planned on being marketed and priced aggressively, especially in China and Latin American where Lanix is attempting to gain a long term foothold by offering high end products to a consumer class that normally could afford only lower end products. The W10 will initially be released in two versions: one for release by the Mexican cell phone company Telcel, with Android and 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB memory, and one that is carrier neutral with Windows 7 and 2 GB of RAM and 64 GB of memory. Both versions feature removable DDR3 RAM memory and solid state drives which can be easily upgraded to store much more memory.
Mexican government contracts
In 2010 the company was contracted by the Mexican Secretary of Education to supply some schools with computers.
