October 30, 2024 Hello,
I'm Dermot O'Shea, the CEO and co-Founder of Taoglas, a trusted provider of antennas and IoT components.
I've launched this newsletter to update you on what's happening in Taoglas. Each month, I'll share insights on industry trends and the latest innovations within our company.
This first email is special because we're celebrating a significant milestone: 20 years in business!
Looking back on everything we've achieved over the past 20 years; I am immensely proud of what we've done - and even more excited about the future. You can watch my message in the video below.
Our journey started in 2004 with a single antenna and lofty goals: to be the number one antenna and IoT component vendor in the world, backed by unparalleled engineering, sales, and customer support.
Since then, the industry has transformed rapidly, and Taoglas has repeatedly proven that staying true to our values of innovation, quality, and trusted partnerships has been the key to our success. These values are the foundation of everything we do and continue to guide us as we move forward into the next 20 years.
Our global team is committed to continuous improvement. We relentlessly innovate, adapt, and refine our products to meet our customers' evolving needs.
That's why we are deeply grateful to you, our customers, distributors and partners, for continually challenging us with new opportunities. Your trust and collaboration inspire us to develop the next generation of antenna solutions that solve real-world problems and fuel industry innovation.
Let's stay connected! Discover more about the exciting projects we've been working on over the past few months below.

Now, What's Happening at Taoglas?
Inception – The World's First Patch-in-a-Patch Antenna I was recently at Embedded World North America, where it was great to catch up with everyone and where we showcased our latest and greatest innovations, such as "Inception", the industry's first "Patch-in-a-Patch" antenna.
The HP5354.A is the first-of-its-kind antenna that offers dual-band stacked patch performance in a standard 35 x 35 x 4mm form factor. Its innovative design reduces antenna height by 50%, decreases weight, and saves horizontal real estate, making it the perfect choice for GNSS applications demanding precision and accuracy with limited space.
This Inception is so innovative it also earned a spot as a finalist in the "Excellence in Product Design" category at the Elektra Awards!

Taoglas Invisible Antenna™ Series The Inception antenna follows a series of industry firsts and award wins for Taoglas this year. We also launched our Taoglas Invisible Antenna™ series, made from a new transparent manufacturing technology that supports cellular, Wi-Fi, and GNSS technologies. These transparent flexible antennas are an alternative to standard Flexible PCB antennas.
You, our customers, drove the development of this product by communicating that you may want to install an antenna in a covert area or on a surface you want to keep visible.
The Invisible Antenna is also award-winning, having won the "IoT Innovation of the Year Award" at the Mobile Breakthrough Awards.

In The News
Robert Huntley from the EE Times recently stopped by one of our two Irish offices to meet with Baha Badran, Taoglas' Head of Engineering, and me. We chatted about the antenna design process and how Taoglas keeps pace with industry demand and supply chain challenges. It was a pleasure to catch up with Robert and talk about all thing's antennas! You can read the articles here and here.

This is just the first of many updates. In my next email, I'll discuss key industry trends and share how Taoglas' engineering team continuously innovates to meet these demands.
As a proud Irishman, I'll close the email with an Irish language saying "Sláinte" (Cheers!) to the next 20 years of Taoglas.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us!
Is mise, le meas (Kind Regards), Dermot O'Shea CEO and Co-Founder, Taoglas.
