ANT Nachrichtentechnik GmbH
|
 |
|
|
|
ANT was a German company that specialized in development, marketing
and sales of information and intelligence equipment. The company originally
started life as Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft
(AEG) and was renamed
several times until in 1983 the name ANT Nachrichtentechnik GmbH was adopted.
|
|
|
At that time ANT, who was still partly owned by
AEG-Telefunken (51%)
became part of a consortium made up of Bosch, Mannesman and Allianz.
After that, the company was renamed, merged and acquired a few more times
until in 2000/2001 the company was split up and sold off. The Telecom division
went to Marconi and later became Telent, whilst the satellite division was
first renamed to Tesat-Spacecom and was later sold to EADS Astrium.
Marconi Mobile was later sold to Finmeccanica and is now known as
Selex Communications GmbH (Backnang).
