The lineup includes the IQ Connect 1, designed for the North American market with JAMMA expansion capabilities, and updates to their QMAX 3 platform, which now offers a range of customizable options in terms of performance and cost.
Ahead of G2E, Yogonet connected with the Quixant team to discuss their goals for the event, trends shaping the gaming sector, and how their solutions are designed to support game developers in crafting more immersive and impactful gaming experiences across both land-based and omnichannel environments.
What new products and services will the company be presenting and highlighting at G2E this year?
At G2E this year Quixant will be showcasing an expanded lineup of gaming hardware platforms, providing solutions for all budget, performance and market requirements. This will include the IQ Connect 1, a powerful and affordable hardware platform designed for the North American gaming market. It features JAMMA expansion capabilities, making it ideal for the distributed gaming and route markets. Powered by an Intel Atom x7000 Series Processor with Intel UHD graphics, it supports up to three displays, ensuring high performance and a seamless player experience. Its passively cooled design ensures reliability, with a 10-year product lifecycle.
Quixant will also be unveiling enhancements to its QMAX 3 platform at the show. Known for its customizable design and exceptional gameplay, the QMAX 3 now offers more versatile and cost-effective options, including processors ranging from Celeron to Intel Core i5 and i7. Customers can also choose configurations with or without a discrete GPU, offering flexibility in performance and budget.
All of these platforms are enhanced by Quixant’s innovative Software Suite solutions, which come as standard across the Quixant hardware platform offering and are designed to streamline and expedite game development, maximize system performance and deliver ultimate results.
What specific goals is the company aiming to achieve at the event, and which markets are you targeting?
At G2E, Quixant aims to strengthen its relationships with existing partners, nurture new collaborations, and gather valuable feedback to fuel future product innovation. A key focus is demonstrating how Quixant’s hardware and software solutions can help game developers create more engaging and high impact gaming experiences, and do so more cost-effectively and in record time. Quixant is targeting everything from budget-conscious markets who are looking for cost-effective gaming solutions all the way to those in need of high-performance platforms for more immersive, high-end experiences. Quixant continues its commitment to land-based gaming while supporting the rapidly expanding trend of omnichannel gaming.
Which major trends do you see gaining momentum in the gaming sector that you expect to be discussed at G2E?
Quixant expects to see significant discussions centered on the rising demand for immersive, interactive gaming experiences, driven by innovations in graphics, AI, display technology, and player engagement systems. A crucial trend is the growing requirement to deliver “more for less,” where manufacturers are seeking more cost-effective gaming solutions, but cannot sacrifice on power or quality and need solutions that enable them to deliver the best possible player experience.
Another trend the Quixant team have observed is the evolution of omnichannel gaming and the increasing integration of online providers into land-based environments. This comes with the challenges of navigating and meeting regulatory demands and ensuring reliability in high-usage, physical gaming venues. These are aspects that Quixant has years of experience successfully supporting organisations in this space, and the team are able to provide organisations looking to make this transition the solutions they require, and the knowledge and expertise to enable a successful penetration of this space.
