Kontron’s 5G technology into a leading European OEM’s vehicle platform – a milestone for European technological sovereignty, cybersecurity and resilient supply chains Linz, Austria, July 21, 2026 – Kontron, a leading global provider of IoT/embedded computer technology (ECT), has secured a new European customer for its 5G Automotive Network Access Devices (NADs), which are developed and manufactured in Germany. These devices will be integrated into the vehicle platform of a leading European car manufacturer. Initially, Kontron expects to supply around 150,000 5G NAD modules, worth a double-digit million figure. Kontron sees the potential to more than triple the supply volume, should the car manufacturer roll out the technology to further vehicle platforms. The modules are manufactured at the new production facility in Düsseldorf, where production officially began on 13 July 2026 in the presence of federal and state government representatives. With development in Berlin and manufacturing in Düsseldorf, Kontron is currently the only provider worldwide to develop 5G communication modules in Europe and manufacture them in Germany. A milestone for Europe’s digital sovereignty This contract represents a significant milestone in Kontron’s strategy to establish a European alternative to non-European suppliers of mobile communications modules, as it marks the first time these modules will be used in a vehicle platform of a European car manufacturer. 5G communications modules play a key role in digital transformation. They are used, amongst other things, in vehicles, industrial plants, rail systems and critical infrastructure. In view of increasing demands for cyber security, supply chain resilience and technological sovereignty,
