Lambda:4 | History

The history of Lambda:4 goes back a long way. The enterprises and entrepreneurs involved are well-known in Hamburg for their groundbreaking development and products over the last 20 years.

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

Due to the wide scope of this visionary technology, an independent company was founded in 2004 – Lambda:4 GmbH & Co. KG – for the continuous development and elaboration of this technology in different areas of application. A feasibility study quickly provided evidence of the controllability of the technology. In order to secure the know-how, different patents have been and will be filed.

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

In the next development stage, Lambda:4 will proceed in a multi-tracked way: besides the development and industrialization of product prototypes for selected applications – each in co-operation with the new societies and partners – the continuous further development of the technology into new fields 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 in radio wave fields in particular. Thus, completely new, long-term ranges of application will be opened.
