CIT's Dolphin Transparent Antenna Wins CES 2025 Innovation Award for Driving Vehicle Technology
CIT Co. Ltd. Triumphs at CES 2025 with Dolphin Antenna
In a monumental achievement for technology, CIT Co. Ltd., a pioneering startup specializing in advanced materials, has been honored with the CES 2025 Innovation Award. The accolade recognizes the company’s groundbreaking transparent antenna, aptly named 'Dolphin,' which is setting new standards in the automotive sector, specifically within the Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility category.
The Dolphin antenna draws inspiration from the incredible sensory abilities of dolphins, which can detect a broad spectrum of frequencies. This innovation promises unmatched performance in the realm of transparent antennas, boasting support for six different frequency bands—from L-band to K-band. It operates efficiently at frequencies up to 20 GHz, catering particularly well to the fast-evolving needs of 5G communication in connected vehicles.
Addressing the Demand for Modern Vehicle Technologies
As the automotive landscape shifts towards autonomous driving solutions and the integration of software-defined vehicles, the need for reliable and speedy data transmission has never been greater. Traditional transparent antennas often fall short in terms of frequency range and versatility, creating significant gaps in technology. With its innovative design, Dolphin significantly exceeds the performance parameters of conventional antennas.
One of Dolphin's most remarkable features is its outstanding transparency. Constructed with ultra-thin copper circuits measuring less than 10 nanometers—1,000 times finer than a human hair—the antenna achieves a transparency level of 90%. This extraordinary design allows it to blend seamlessly into vehicle windows and other glass surfaces, rendering it virtually invisible. In contrast, standard antennas utilize copper circuits that are between 5 to 10 micrometers thick, limiting their flexibility and aesthetic appeal.
Dolphin's commitment to sustainability is also commendable. The antenna is produced using recycled copper wires, helping to minimize its carbon footprint to just one-thousandth that of traditional antennas, aligning perfectly with CIT’s initiative for environmentally friendly manufacturing processes.
Expanding Potential Across Various Applications
Dolphin’s capabilities extend well beyond the automotive realm. The potential applications are vast, ranging from smart windows in buildings to street furniture, including illuminated bus stops. This versatility opens doors to smart urban infrastructure, where innovative solutions can thrive.
Moreover, CIT's expertise in advanced materials has enabled the development of transparent displays that also utilize the same ultra-thin copper circuits. These displays provide an unobstructed viewing experience, increasingly utilized in digital signage across urban landscapes, commercial spaces, and various forms of public transportation.
Spotlight at CES 2025
CIT is set to showcase its award-winning Dolphin antenna along with its innovative transparent display technology at CES 2025 in Las Vegas. Attendees can witness these groundbreaking advancements firsthand at the Venetian Expo, Halls A-D, Booth #50769. This presentation marks an excellent opportunity for technology enthusiasts and industry leaders to interact with cutting-edge innovations that promise to reshape mobility and connectivity in the years to come.
