   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 – [1]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, the availability of European communication
   modules is becoming increasingly important from a strategic perspective.
   By developing and manufacturing in Germany, Kontron is able to offer its
   customers short supply chains, high quality standards and a trustworthy
   European supply chain.

   “This order demonstrates that European OEMs and their suppliers are
   placing increasing emphasis on technological independence, cybersecurity,
   and resilient supply chains. Our 5G modules, which are developed and
   manufactured in Germany, provide a high-performance and reliable solution
   to these issues,” says Hannes Niederhauser, CEO of Kontron AG.

   The NADs now commissioned form the communication interface for modern
   software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and enable various functions such as
   over-the-air updates, vehicle connectivity, remote diagnostics and future
   V2X applications. With the new production line in Düsseldorf, Kontron is
   consistently expanding its position as a European supplier of secure and
   high-performance 5G communication modules for automotive, industrial and
   rail applications.
