Smart, extremely flat and made in Germany.
This describes the innovative ANTONICS antenna technology best. The leading German developer and manufacturer of innovative high-tech antenna system technology is based in Velten, near Berlin, and develops, produces and designs high-tech antennas in-house. With the planar antenna technology from ANTONICS, it is possible to use different communication systems, such as 5G, LTE, UMTS, GSM-R, FRMCS, TETRA, WLAN or GNSS, via a single, very flat antenna. ANTONICS antennas are used in Deutsche Bahn trains and on the trains and buses of numerous German and international long-distance and local transport companies.
Together with its Austrian sales partner Tomek GmbH, which has been active in industrial electronics since 1978, ANTONICS is supporting Vienna’s trams and underground trains on their way towards the digital age. After an intensive testing phase, the project started in May 2022. By 2024, a total of 333 ULF trams, 117 Silberpfeil underground trains, 62 V-type underground trains and 144 T-type underground trains will be modernised including all the vehicles from Siemens and Alstom.
