Siemens appoints Antenova as its antenna supply
partner
The innovative antenna company Antenova has just
signed a partnership agreement with Siemens’ Automation and
Drives Group (A&D) for the design and supply of internal antennas.
Antenova’s High Dielectric Antennas (HDAs) will be integrated
into a new product range that will be released
by Siemens in the second quarter of 2005.
Under the terms of this supply agreement Antenova
will provide technical support for the integration of the antenna
into the user application. Siemens who evaluated three different
technologies and suppliers before selecting Antenova receives access
to Antenova’s high-performing HDA technology.
“We have been extremely impressed with
Antenova’s technology and strong support. Their competitively
priced antennas met all of our performance and selection criteria.
We are very comfortable working with Antenova, who are obviously
driven by technology and we look forward to a long and successful
partnership”, says Theo Schlotter, Director R&D for Industrial
PC, Siemens A&D.
“Antenova are delighted to be selected
as Siemens’ Antenna Vendor to support their product development
through to 2006. Siemens are market leaders in Industrial PC and
we see this as another excellent partnership for our cutting edge
technology”, says Stephen Barlow, Director of Business Development,
Antenova.
The market is driving towards greater levels
of integration as devices are getting smaller. The cellular and
wireless explosion continues at speed with consumers driving the
move towards more innovative, efficient and ergonomic products.
Although the antenna is the component that makes a product wireless,
historically there has been little innovation. Antenova is driving
this innovation, as the wireless world moves towards better performing
internal antennas.
