In partnership with renowned French glass manufacturer Saint-Gobain Sekurit, LG Electronics (LG) has announced today that it will be unveiling its cutting-edge and next-generation transparent antenna that will enhance telecommunication for automobiles at the upcoming CES 2024, slated for January in Las Vegas.
The transparent film-type antenna, according to the tech giant, is poised to be a game-changer in this rapidly evolving landscape of the automobile industry.
With electric vehicles becoming the norm and the imminent arrival of autonomous and software-defined vehicles, the automotive industry is on the brink of a connectivity revolution.
LG’s Transparent Film-type Antenna: Elevating Car Telecommunications
LG’s transparent telematics solution offers a transformative approach to in-vehicle connectivity. This cutting-edge antenna can be installed directly on car glass and is made to work with many kinds of glass and car designs, so the integration procedure will be smooth. With over 80 unique breakthroughs, including transparent electrode technology and patterns, the film-type antenna further demonstrates LG’s dedication to pushing the limits of automotive technology.
At the same time, LG’s transparent antenna can be installed in a variety of vehicle designs and is offered in both on-glass and in-glass systems. This widespread application offers scalability to meet the growing demands of network traffic while guaranteeing dependable telecom performance. The antenna satisfies the connectivity requirements of contemporary cars by supporting 5G, Wi-Fi, and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System).
The ability of LG’s transparent antenna to blend in well with glass sunroofs or windscreens is one of its unique features. Since traditional antenna housing is no longer needed, car makers are no longer forced to make design compromises. LG and Saint-Gobain Sekurit worked together to develop a technique that allowed the transparent antenna to be applied to glass, improving the integrity of the device.
