en.Wedoany.com Reported - RF solutions provider Taoglas recently announced the acquisition of UK-based Sure Antennas, a company specializing in advanced vehicle communication systems for emergency services, public safety, and mission-critical fleets.

Sure Antennas, a member of the SFL Mobile Radio Holdings Group, focuses on the blue light and public safety sectors, designing and manufacturing a variety of vehicle antenna solutions. Its product line includes: multi-function antennas ready for the Emergency Services Network (ESN) upgrade; compact external antennas that achieve full operational anonymity using the vehicle's original OEM whip or shark fin housing; and broadband solutions integrating multiple communication, navigation, and data services into a single compact unit. Additionally, the product portfolio encompasses vehicle intercoms, RF multiplexers, cable kit assemblies, and integrated systems, all designed to meet the high performance and compliance standards required for public safety communications.

This acquisition solidifies Taoglas's position in the critical communications and automotive antenna markets. Both markets are undergoing rapid transformation as agencies and fleet operators gradually migrate to high-bandwidth LTE and 5G networks. By integrating resources, Taoglas and Sure Antennas can offer broader capabilities for connected fleets, meet new network demands, and support various applications including public safety, defense, and commercial transportation.

Taoglas CEO Dermot O’Shea stated that Sure Antennas has built a long-standing reputation in the UK blue light sector with its innovative antenna products. He noted that their antennas, compact and rugged designs, and integrated vehicle systems complement Taoglas's product line, helping to extend solutions to public safety and critical infrastructure markets in Europe. Sure Antennas Founder and Managing Director Karl Beach added that joining Taoglas brings scale, resources, and global reach, enabling further service to the critical communications market based on technology integration and accelerating innovation in next-generation vehicle connectivity systems.

Under the agreement, Sure Antennas will continue to operate as a Taoglas company, with its antennas and ancillary products still sold under the Sure Antennas brand. All 45 employees will join Taoglas, continuing to work at the UK headquarters in Wirral and the European office in Amsterdam, Netherlands. These two locations will become centers of excellence for mission-critical vehicle connectivity, retaining existing product development, manufacturing, and customer support functions to ensure continuity of global services.
