"Under promise, over deliver." - the Taoglas mindset.

Welcome to the latest edition of "O'Shea Insights," my newsletter to inform you about what's happening at Taoglas® and the latest innovations shaping connectivity.

A warm welcome to new readers and those of you who have been with me since the beginning - thank you for your continued support!  

As we approach the end of the first quarter, I am reflecting on what has been an incredibly productive start to the year for Taoglas.

How We Give Customers Not Only What They Want, But What They Don't Know They Need

Each year, we introduce hundreds of new products and industry-first innovations. Driven by a commitment to continuous improvement, our global team relentlessly innovates, adapts, and refines our solutions to stay ahead of our customers' evolving needs.

We've launched 75 new products in the past few months, including our TFM Series of Multi-Band GNSS Front-End Modules, designed to accelerate the development of high-precision applications. In today's world, electronic product design is becoming increasingly complex. At Taoglas, we aim to simplify the process for our customers. By leveraging TFM modules, designers can save at least six months of development time compared to creating active circuitry from scratch.

In addition to this, we launched the Levity Series, a cutting-edge family of active, multi-band GNSS antennas designed for applications such as wearables, navigation, transportation, robotics, precision agriculture, and autonomous vehicles.

We also recently expanded our Invisible Antenna series with the addition of industry-standard SMA connectors, which customers said they need to improve compatibility and streamline integration into applications, including EV chargers, digital signage, parking meters, and PoS kiosks.

We've continued to expand our offering in markets such as Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), Data Centers, AI, and the Aerospace & Defense industry, further broadening our reach and impact.

With over 20 years of experience, tens of thousands of projects and more than 200 patents, Taoglas has seen it all - allowing us to anticipate both opportunities and challenges our customers may not have considered. Like Steve Jobs once said, "Our job is to figure out what they're going to want before they do." That's the mindset we bring to our innovations, which provides a nice segway to our latest blog post, highlighting how we anticipate our customers' long-term needs and recommend technologies and strategies that enable graceful evolution.

The longer a device's service life, the more likely the operators in each area will have coverage and network changes. Taoglas can recommend antennas capable of supporting not only the bands used when the device is initially deployed but also the ones that potential future operators use. This gives our customers and their customers the flexibility to take advantage of new options as they arise - all without expensive hardware changes and product redesigns.
