Novocomms, a leading technology company specializing in antenna design, has recently announced its restructuring plan for three subsidiary operating companies. The restructuring aims to bolster the company’s presence in the consumer electronics, satellite solutions, and smart cities sectors.
Under the plan, Novocomms will establish three subsidiary operating companies: Novocomms Wireless Antenna, Novocomms Mobile Satellite Solutions, and Novocomms Smart Cities. Each unit has a specific focus, with the first addressing consumer electronics, the second concentrating on automotive and defense satellite communications, and the third tackling urban connectivity.
Novocomms was founded in 2019 as a result of pioneering research conducted at the University of Birmingham in the UK. The company specializes in small multifunction antenna systems and caters to markets such as 5G/6G, satellite systems, and automotive antennas. CEO and CTO Sampson Hu, who previously founded Smart Antenna Technologies Ltd., leads the Consumer Electronics business with his extensive 18 years of experience in antenna design. He is supported by Peter Hall, an IEEE fellow and emeritus professor with over 40 years of expertise in antenna research.
Sampson Hu also heads the Novocomms Mobile Satellite Solutions division, which focuses on the development and manufacture of millimeter-wave and high-performance mobile satellite antennas for various industries, including commercial, automotive, infrastructure, and defense. The division also benefits from the expertise of Peter Gardner, an emeritus professor with 35 years of experience and an IEEE fellow.
Meanwhile, Johann Tse takes the helm of Novocomms Smart Cities as CEO, bringing with him his corporate acquisition and growth experience gained from Aquarian Capital and NASDAQ-listed Broad Capital Acquisition Corporation.
Johann Tse emphasizes the increasing demand for artificial intelligence integrated into Internet of Things (IoT) systems over the next five years. Leveraging Novocomms’ sophisticated antenna design capabilities and its expertise in satellite and 5G technology, the company is well-positioned to develop and manufacture innovative AI-enabled products to meet this demand.
Sampson Hu believes that superior design can lead to substantial cost reductions in materials, power consumption, and weight for the next generation of millimeter-wave and mobile satellite antennas. The industry’s desire for enhanced performance technology that is also eco-friendly aligns perfectly with Novocomms’ mission to deliver cutting-edge solutions.
Professor Colin Tucker, Chairman of Novocomms, reveals that the company is currently negotiating with several firms to develop antennas tailored to their specific applications. This highlights Novocomms’ commitment to collaborating with partners and meeting their unique requirements.
Novocomms’ restructuring plan underscores its determination to leverage its expertise across different sectors and capitalize on emerging opportunities in consumer electronics, satellite solutions, and smart cities. As the company continues to innovate and expand its product portfolio, industry players can look forward to advanced and environmentally friendly antenna solutions from Novocomms.
