CHASM Advanced Materials announces a significant scale-up in the production of customized transparent antennas, utilizing cutting-edge carbon nanotube/copper micromesh technology, exceeding an annual capacity of 10 million and continuing to grow to meet global demand. Unveiling at MWC Barcelona 2024, showcasing innovation in connectivity.

CANTON, Mass., Feb. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — CHASM Advanced Materials, a pioneer in carbon nanotube material solutions, has announced a major scale-up in the production of customized transparent antennas based on its AgeNT® transparent antenna technology, following successful market introduction last year. This expansion is in response to growing global demand and CHASM’s commitment to innovation in connectivity technologies. The company will make the announcement at the MWC Barcelona 2024 exhibition (Hall 1, Booth 1C84), the world’s largest connectivity event, Feb. 26-29 in Barcelona, Spain.

“Our aim is not just to meet the current demand but to anticipate future connectivity needs where antenna transparency offers significant aesthetic, performance, and cost advantages,” said Dave Arthur, CEO and Co-founder of CHASM. The company’s annual production capacity now exceeds 10 million antennas. CHASM is strategically positioned to meet future demand as it adds more fabricators to its network.

The production expansion is bolstered by CHASM’s strategic partnership with Kundisch/Phoenix Mecano, a leader in precision fabrication of printed electronics devices. This collaboration ensures that the increased output maintains the quality and efficiency that CHASM is known for as a leader in transparent antenna technology.

The AgeNT® transparent antenna solution, utilizing cutting-edge carbon nanotube/copper micromesh technology, offers efficacy on par with low-loss, ceramic PCB-based antenna options. Its over 90% optical transparency combined with high performance redefines wireless communication, blending seamlessly into various applications. From enhancing security systems in homes and businesses with unobtrusive antenna installations directly on camera lenses to revolutionizing augmented reality glasses with sleek “view-through” design, AgeNT® transparent antenna solutions are setting new standards in integrated technology.

In the realm of e-mobility, transparent antennas based on AgeNT® technology are advancing connectivity in cars with Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) connectivity. They are also pivotal in public safety and covert law enforcement vehicles, where discreet, reliable communication is essential and “peel-and-stick” window antennas offer a cost-effective approach to connectivity upgrades.

In smart city infrastructures, transparent antennas based on AgeNT® technology play a crucial role in developing smarter solutions, such as for smart parking meters, where the transparent antenna is integrated into the display delivering both line-of-sight performance advantages and enhanced privacy. Their ability to blend into the environment while providing robust personal-use connectivity is pivotal for these applications.

Along with its commitment to expand manufacturing for current AgeNT® transparent antenna solutions, CHASM is actively engaged in research and development initiatives to support growing interest in enhanced multi-layer and phased array transparent antenna solutions for Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), Small cell networks, and satellite communications. These initiatives represent CHASM’s dedication to working with antenna and product designers on diverse connectivity challenges in both urban and rural settings.

FranklinWH Introduces Enhanced 15 kWh aPower in Australia and New Zealand

Published

May 3, 2026

Expansion comes as policy shifts and rising power costs accelerate demand for residential energy storage

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FranklinWH, a leading provider of whole-home energy management and battery storage solutions, today announced the launch of its enhanced 15 kWh aPower battery in Australia and New Zealand, as demand for residential energy storage continues to grow, driven by evolving policy settings and increasing interest in energy independence.

The updated aPower builds on the company’s established platform, increasing usable capacity from 13.6 kWh to 15 kWh and raising warrantied throughput from 43 MWh to 60 MWh, an increase of 40 percent. These updates deliver more usable energy over the life of the system while maintaining the same footprint and price.

“The energy landscape is shifting quickly, and more homeowners are thinking beyond the upfront specs to what really pays off over time,” said Steve Ruskin, General Manager of FranklinWH Australia. “This upgrade is about delivering more performance over the life of the system, more usable energy, greater throughput, while staying true to our ‘buy once, buy right’ philosophy.”

The increase in warrantied throughput translates into savings for homeowners. Based on typical usage patterns and an electricity rate of A$0.35 per kilowatt-hour, the additional throughput may represent up to approximately A$5,950 in value over the lifetime of the system. The increase in usable capacity also improves energy density, lowering the effective cost per kilowatt-hour and supporting more efficient use of stored energy.

The 15 kWh configuration also aligns with current and upcoming policy frameworks benefitting residential battery adoption. This includes the updated Cheaper Home Batteries Program, with changes coming into effect for Australian homeowners from 1 May, 2026, helping households maximise value as incentives continue to evolve.

As the residential battery market expands, FranklinWH continues to focus on reliability and system performance. The aPower incorporates design elements to support durability, including structural reinforcement to reduce cell stress over time, per-cell temperature monitoring, and the separation of the battery pack and control systems to maintain reliable performance.

“We believe performance should be measured over years, not just at installation,” Ruskin added. “We focus on building systems that deliver consistent, reliable results over time. That long-term perspective is what ultimately defines value for homeowners.”

The aPower is designed to operate as part of the FranklinWH System, an integrated home energy management platform that coordinates energy generation, storage, and consumption. The system is designed to optimise multiple energy inputs, provide reliable backup power, and support more efficient and independent energy use at the household level.

About FranklinWH

FranklinWH Energy Storage is the manufacturer of the FranklinWH System. FranklinWH is a market-oriented, research-driven company focused on next-generation residential energy management and storage solutions. Located in Macquarie Park, Sydney with a global head office in the San Francisco Bay Area, FranklinWH’s team has decades of experience in energy systems, from design, through manufacturing, to sales and installation.
