EqcoLogic was founded in June 2005 as a spin-out of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), the Flemish language University in Brussels, based on four years or research by the Micro-Electronics group at the University.

EqcoLogic's initial technical team came to the company via the University. They are led by Professor Maarten Kuijk, the principal inventor of the technology and EqcoLogic CTO. Peter Helfet, an experienced technology entrepreneur from the UK, joined the company as CEO. Professor Roger Vounckx, head of the Micro-Electronics group at the University is also an active Director.

The company became a commercial entity immediately after incorporation thanks to a substantial grant from the Region of Brussels' R&D agency (IWOIB - IRSIB) that funded initial research as well as a survey of business opportunities in the field. Shortly after incorporation, EqcoLogic received additional capital from a number of Belgian investors and immediately moved on to sign its first substantial license agreement.

In September 2005, the EqcoLogic team won first prize for a development project in the prestigious Belgian national "Enterprize" competition.

In mid 2006 EqcoLogic launched its first product, the EQCO400T, a UTP Cable Equalizer for long haul Firewire(1394b) and in January 2007 the company demonstrated the EQCO800SC, a transceiver circuit that sends signals bi-directionally over a single coaxial cable.

Since then, we have moved forward with new transceiver developments including the Transceivers (EQCO62T20 and EQCO62R20) used for the new CoaXPress standard. The CoaXPress Consortium, including EqcoLogic was awarded the prestigious Vision Prize for 2009.

EqcoLogic continues to move forward with a number of new products addressing applications across a broad range of high-speed serial communications standards.
