Alcan Systems

ALCAN Systems GmbH is a telecommunications company based in Darmstadt, Germany. The company is focusing on developing a low-cost smart antenna system for cellular and satellite communication. ALCAN Systems plans to produce smart antennas which are flat, thin and able to steer their beam electronically without any moving parts. This allows mounting them inconspicuously on moving vehicles (e.g. cars, trains, airplanes, ships) to track different types of satellites (GEO, MEO & LEO) as well as 5G cellular networks. ALCAN’s technology is based on liquid crystal (LC) based phased-arrays that are capable of operating in the millimeter and microwave band of the RF spectrum.
