The Development Center in Linz is the global competence center for high-frequency components.
2009, the development team presented the world's first 77 GHz radar chip to use silicon-germanium technology. These systems make driving cars safer and more comfortable thanks to active action taken by the systems during driving, for example through pedestrian recognition, distance warning and automatic emergency braking.
The other key areas of activity include high-frequency components for mobile communication and navigation applications, like antenna switches and receive amplifiers. These devices are are used by all major smartphone manufacturers to achieve highest data rates and navigation accuracy even under unfavourable reception conditions.

Reports of a serious industrial accident, rules of conduct and all-clear warnings are announced via the regional radio stations. Radio Carinthia: 94.7 MHZ Ö3: 97 MHZ
Warning = 3 minutes
Alarm = at least 1 minute rising and falling wailing tone
All clear = 1 minute constant continuous tone
Immediately go to a safe building for protection. Call children into the house immediately so that they are under supervision and do not react wrongly through ignorance. Children who are at school or kindergarten will be taken care of there.
Only call the police, fire department or other agencies in an emergency. The telephone lines are needed for relief and rescue operations.
