We aim to reduce infrastructure costs and bridge the gap between people, IoT, robotics, and high-performance networks.
Our story
nu glass finds its origins at EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne) in Switzerland. Since 2014, we have been reinventing indoor connectivity with a patented laser treatment that makes treated glass permeable to mobile signals while retaining its original properties.

Inception
When glass, physics & telecommunications meet
• Birth of the technology at EPFL
• Developed at the NanoSolarLab
• Initial explorations: interaction between glass and electromagnetic waves
Beginning of fundamental research
nu glass humbly contributes to a better planet
Through our innovative solutions, by prioritizing sustainability, we're not only enhancing connectivity but also fostering environmental responsibility. Our commitment ensures that every step we take brings us closer to a more sustainable, interconnected future.
Waste Reduction
By retrofitting existing glass instead of replacing it, extending window lifetimes. Additionally, it eliminates the need for frequent replacement of repeaters, antennas, and the associated infrastructure.
Energy Consumption Reduction
Our passive glass solutions annually reduce electricity consumption by 28MWh per train, equivalent to the yearly usage of 20 citizens. Additionally, our solution preserves window insulation, ensuring no impact on heating and air-conditioning system consumption in trains.
Local Solution
Our local solution brings us to your doorstep with a smart, portable setup. By centralizing production and sourcing parts from nearby suppliers, we minimize CO2 emissions associated with transportation and storage.
