Novocomms has commenced an R&D project to develop a next-generation positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) antenna system for use in space.

Novocomms, the UK-based antenna specialist, has secured £3.6 million of funding from the Government’s Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) to develop the next generation of 5G mmWave consumer premises equipment (CPE).

Novocomms has unveiled NovoSat, a new lightweight dual port product with high performance GNSS capability and offering the full L Band frequency band for other devices.

Novocomms has announced ambitious growth plans for the next five years, including the establishment of three manufacturing divisions, with the potential to create up to 300 new jobs in Birmingham.

UK-based antenna design company Novocomms is expanding its operations in Birmingham following a new funding round. This multi-million pound investment paves the way for growth opportunities for the business which came out of the University of Birmingham in 2019.

The FPCB LTE 4G is the latest addition to the British technology company’s family of patented multi-channel antenna for use within the Internet of Things (IoT) sector. Novocomms has invested heavily to provide customised engineering support to their customers.

British technology will be used by one of the world’s largest watchmakers to keep children safe. Birmingham-based Novocomms’s technology will be fitted into children’s smart watches made by Chinese watchmaking giant, Imoo. Novocomms’ antenna technology will enable parents to locate their children’s watch through a mobile app.
