Sleek Design, Efficient Performance
Connected Glass Roof brings all connectivity elements required by modern vehicles, and exhibits several advantages:
-
Best Aesthetics: Flat exterior design, wide panoramic view
-
High Performance: Large enough to distribute antennas, high above ground without car body obstruction
-
Easy Integration: Plug & Play assembly with all antennas on a single vehicle part
-
Energy Efficiency: Keeps needed warmth inside during winter and excessive heat outside in summer
Being high above ground, with unobstructed view all around the car, the roof is the ideal location for many antenna systems, providing optimal 360° outdoor coverage.
Thanks to its large surface, antennas can be distributed, therefore reducing undesirable coupling and increasing antenna system diversity.
By resorting to double coatings, the glass roof keeps thermal comfort inside the vehicle. A Low-E coating on the inner face keeps warmth inside during winter, while an IR-reflective coating keeps heat outside in summer.
Compatibility between conductive coatings and antennas is ensured locally by our WAVETHRU™ technology as well as other similar smart decoating techniques.
Being locally transparent to both light and electromagnetic waves, the connected roof antennas can support both outdoor and indoor use cases.
With an unobstructed view towards the sky, the Connected Glass Roof is also ideal to bear antennas dedicated to Satellite Connectivity.

Satellite Connectivity
in Remote Areas
Staying connected shouldn’t stop where terrestrial networks end. Our Connected Glass Roof brings seamless satellite connectivity to remote areas like fields, mountains, and off-grid locations by integrating SatCom antennas directly into the vehicle’s glass roof. This technology ensures continuous access to essential services like emergency calls, real-time navigation, and over-the-air updates, while also supporting infotainment for passengers to stay engaged during long journeys. With connectivity no longer limited to city limits, drivers and passengers can explore with confidence, knowing they’ll stay connected no matter where they are.
Secure Car Access
Reimagined
Our Connected Glass Roof brings a new standard in Secure Car Access through the integration of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology. This next-generation solution enables precise, keyless entry, allowing only authorized users to access the vehicle while offering enhanced protection against modern security threats like relay attacks. Unlike traditional key fobs or Bluetooth systems, UWB operates with centimeter-level precision and time-of-flight tracking, ensuring only the rightful user can access the vehicle. While Bluetooth and key fobs are vulnerable to signal interception and relay attacks, UWB’s ultra-precise range detection makes these exploits nearly impossible. With our innovation, drivers benefit from a smarter, safer, and more seamless entry experience.
Seamless 5G Connectivity
Without Compromise
In dense urban environments, reliable 5G connectivity is essential for modern mobility. Our Connected Glass Roof offers a game-changing solution by integrating a next-generation antenna system directly into the vehicle’s glass roof. This innovative design eliminates the need for bulky shark-fin antennas, delivering a sleek, unobtrusive aesthetic without compromising performance. With our advanced architecture, vehicles maintain fast, uninterrupted 5G coverage, enabling smooth streaming, real-time navigation, and crystal-clear communication. By embedding connectivity directly into the glass, we ensure that passengers stay connected — no matter where they are in the city. This unique approach combines elegance with cutting-edge technology, driving the future of connected mobility.
