Lambda:4 | History

The history of Lambda:4 reaches far back. The enterprises and entrepreneurs involved are renowned in Hamburg for more than 20 years for groundbreaking development and products.

Out of this group of medium-sized Hamburg companies, a project arose in 2002, concerned with different modern possibilities of the analysis of wave fields. This project was initially borne in collaboration with Navigation Online GmbH and the LBE Flugtechnik GmbH with subsequently various research works being started. At the same time a market analysis was executed, particularly in the sectors of navigation, aviation, logistics and emergency radio locating.

Owing to the wide scope of this visionary technology, an independent company was founded in 2004 – Lambda:4 GmbH & Co. KG – for the consistent development and elaboration of this technology in different areas of application. A feasibility study quickly provided evidence of the controllability of the technology. For securing the know-how different patents were and will be filed.

For the preparation of the marketing of the technology, the business activities were completely transferred to the subsidiary Lambda:4 Entwicklungen GmbH in summer 2009. Additionally new societies for production development and marketing in selected ranges of application are originated. Further affiliates are scheduled.

In the next development stage Lambda:4 will proceed in a multi-tracked way: Besides the development and industrialisation of product prototypes for selected applications – each in co-operation with the new societies and partners – the consistent further development of the technology into new domains will consequently take place. The goal is the generation of new know-how, not only in the research field of the analysis of waves, but also and in particular of radio wave fields. Thus on a long-term basis, completely new ranges of application are opened.
