DOCOMO, AGC and Ericsson Achieve World’s First 5G Communication Using Glass Antenna for 28 GHz

NTT DOCOMO, INC., AGC Inc. and Ericsson announced today that they have achieved what is believed to be the world’s first 5G mobile telecommunications using an antenna embedded in synthetic fused silica glass to transmit and receive 28 GHz 5G radio signals for stable, high-speed mobile communication in buildings, vehicles and trains.

The antenna was used to verify 28 GHz 5G mobile communication with downlink speeds averaging 1.3 Gbps within a 100-meter range and reaching a maximum of 3.8 Gbps at 400 MHz. The verification tests, which used a vehicle fitted with multiple antennas and traveling about 30 km/h, were conducted in the Sumida area of Tokyo between April 22 and May 28.

Radio signals in the 28 GHz band are more linear than 4G LTE signals, so they are not strong enough to adequately penetrate windows in buildings, vehicles and railway cars. The new glass antenna can be attached to window surfaces to enable radio waves to be received and relayed in ideal directions for stable, high-speed 5G communications under challenging indoor and in-vehicle conditions.

Antennas were used in multiple spots on the test vehicle, including the windshield, side windows and rear window, enabling data to be transmitted and received in ideal directions for maximum signal strength. As a result, stable, high-speed communication was achieved even in urban areas where signals were blocked or reflected by obstacles.

The 5G glass antenna’s small size and transparent appearance allow it to be installed unobtrusively in buildings, vehicles, etc. without impairing the installation object’s appearance or design, or people’s line of sight.

Going forward, DOCOMO, AGC and Ericsson will continue to refine antenna technology to enable the glass antenna to function compatibly with Massive MIMO, a technology that uses multiple antennas to transmit and receive data, aiming to achieve faster 5G communication speeds and expanded 5G use under diverse conditions.

Inauguration of anechoic chambers of AGC Glass Europe in Gosselies

Two anechoic chambers were inaugurated on 15 March by the Minister-President of Wallonia, Willy Borsus, at the AGC Technovation Centre (R&D Centre) at Gosselies (Charleroi, Belgium) in a ceremony attended by numerous personalities from the worlds of politics and industry together with representatives of the press. The new facility will be used for developing and testing AGC technology for windows with built-in antenna, in response to the growing demand for connectivity.

The walls of the chambers are covered by material that absorbs electromagnetic radiation and prevents it from bouncing back off the walls (hence "anechoic"). The large chambers hold all the necessary equipment used to measure the transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves, for communication between vehicles, between vehicles and their surroundings, and through the windows of buildings. This will become increasingly necessary in the future with the advent of 5G and self-driving vehicles.

The investment of around 10 million euros, with support from the Walloon government, will also serve as a technology platform for various players involved in the challenge of connectivity in Wallonia, including the public authorities together with various industries such as transport, construction, telecommunication etc. The new facility will create around 20 jobs.

AGC Automotive Europe launches

Destined for automotive glass, including vision glass (windscreen and front side windows), "Pure Grey" is a neutral glass which offers the first and so far only alternative to the green-tinted glass used on all car models for its solar control properties. While its energy performance is similar to that of green-tinted glass, Pure Grey with its neutral tint has better performance in terms of rendering of transmitted and reflected colours.

Available in standard thicknesses¹, Pure Grey is the result of worldwide research within the AGC Group and its advanced float glass production facilities. It is characterised by neutral light transmission with excellent colour rendering, unlike green-tinted glass which significantly affects the perception of colours inside and outside the vehicle. When it comes to light reflection, the same neutral character benefits the quest for overall harmony, enabling it to blend with the privacy glass in the back of the vehicle and with the colour of the bodywork.

Pure Grey also affords energy performance equivalent to green glass with its selectivity² of 1.2: by reflecting a significant fraction of the incident infra-red radiation (solar factor less than 62%³), it reduces heating inside the vehicle while affording good light transmission (more than 70%⁴).

“With Pure Grey, AGC Automotive Europe reinforces its ambition and capacity to develop glass products with high added value for its automotive customers,” explains Jean-Marc Meunier, Regional President for AGC Automotive Europe.

1. Standard thicknesses: typically 3.15 mm, 3.5 mm and 3.85 mm for tempered glass and assemblies of

2.1mm/1.6mm for laminated glass.

2. Ratio of light transmission to solar factor (total percentage of energy i.e. heat passing through the glass).

3. Measured according to ISO 9050 standard at 3.85mm by AGC Group

4. Measured with illuminant A at 2° and at 3.85mm by AGC Group.

The project for the new plant being built at Kenitra in the northern coastal region of the country is the result of a joint venture between AGC Automotive Europe and the Moroccan glass producer Induver. This initiative marks the AGC Group's first operations in Africa. AGC Automotive Induver Morocco will produce toughened glass for backlites and sidelites together with laminated glass for windscreens. The plant will have sufficient capacity to supply around 1,100,000 carsets per year and should be operational in 2019, employing around 600 people.

Plant promises local development

The new plant is ideally situated to meet the demand for automotive glass in North Africa and the South of Europe. It will also benefit from a free trade zone set up to attract companies operating in the automotive industry and so to develop a major industrial concentration in this sector. "Once the AGC culture of automotive excellence has been properly established here, our ambition is to see this plant managed 100% by a local team, in line with our policy in this area," declared Jean-Marc Meunier, General Manager of AGC Automotive Europe.

Hakim Abdelmoumen, General Manager of Induver, for his part welcomed the prospect of producing the complete carset (windshields, backlites and sidelites) in large series for the first time in Morocco. "This wider offer will further raise the local content of vehicles built in Morocco and boost the added value created locally."

AGC Automotive Europe launches ultra-dark grey glass on the market

AGC Automotive Europe has introduced its darkest grey glass to date, intended primarily for car roofs and rear windows. This glass affords greater privacy and thermal comfort (solar protection) for the vehicle occupants and thus also reduces the need for air conditioning.

The AGC dark grey glass boasts a light transmission factor of 81%¹ and a solar factor² of 32%. Available in thicknesses of 3.85 and 4.85 mm, it extends the range of AGC green and grey glass available already. This expansion of the tinted glass range is combined with advanced glass solutions for energy control such as coated glass³ and variable transmission glass⁴. "Together these developments demonstrate our determination to constantly progress with our automotive customers in their search for added value," concludes Jean-Marc Meunier, General Manager AGC Automotive Europe.

1. Value for a thickness of 3.85 mm.

2. The solar factor represents the total percentage of energy (and thus also heat) passing through the glass. AGC grey glass lets through only 32% of the heat carried by the sun's rays.

3. Glass coated with invisible layers of metal oxides which reflect infrared radiation and cut overheating inside the vehicle. Used for windshields.

4. Glass that can switch from transparent to dark blue simply by applying a voltage across it. Used for vehicle roofs.

AGC to Expand Supply System of Cover Glass for Car-mounted Displays

As the industry’s pioneer, AGC is responding to strong demand

AGC announced today that it will strengthen its system to supply cover glass for car-mounted displays at its subsidiary AGC Display Glass Yonezawa Co., Ltd. (ADY; Head Office: Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture; President: Takashi Mitani) to meet strong demand.

The AGC Group sells cover glass for car-mounted displays, which is manufactured by adding several steps to the manufacturing process of Dragontrail^™ — a chemically strengthened special glass. Those processes include chemical strengthening treatment, optical thin-film coating, and decorative printing. Since 2013, the Group has produced the cover glass on a dedicated line at ADY. Forecasting growing demand, the Group is increasing ADY’s production capacity, and plans to begin operation of the expanded production facilities from April this year.

The AGC Group has developed a chemically-strengthened cover glass for displays that is suitable for mounting on a car. Clear, hard and gloss-finished glass is widely used in construction and interiors, because the material brings a sense of innovation and luxury to sophisticated designs. Besides, with the use of smartphones and tablet-type devices spreading rapidly in recent years, people have become more familiar with glass. Applying coating and decorative printing technologies, the Group’s cover glass for car-mounted displays improves the visibility and operability of carmounted navigation systems and driving information display panels. It has already been decided to use the cover glass in more than 30 car models. The AGC Group, as a leading manufacturer of cover glass for car-mounted displays, will expand its cover-glass supply system to meet further increases in demand. The Group is also preparing to massproduce cover glass for car-mounted displays featuring a three-dimensional curved surface and more sophisticated designs.

Under the management policy AGC plus, the AGC Group manufactures products that provide “safety, security, and comfort” to society, and creates “new value and functions” for customers. As the pioneer of cover glass for carmounted displays, the Group will continue to promote technical innovations that give products the added value that satisfies customers.

AGC’s Glass Used for All Vehicles of New Hokuriku Shinkansen Line

AGC announces that its safety glass for railroad cars is installed in all vehicles of the Hokuriku Shinkansen Line, which started operation in Japan on March 14, 2015. In addition to the safety glass, all other glass components used in the vehicles have also been supplied by AGC.

The Hokuriku Shinkansen Line, which connects Tokyo and Kanazawa, was opened as an extension of the Nagano Shinkansen Line linking Tokyo and Nagano. The newly opened section of the line, which is an extension beyond Nagano to Kanazawa, has many tunnels because of high altitudes and rugged topography. Shinkansen vehicles travel at high speeds that peak at 260 kilometers an hour in very severe weather conditions during winter. Therefore, various functions, including safety, as well as high levels of sound- and thermal-insulating properties, are required of the window glass of the Shinkansen.

AGC’s glass used for the windshield at the driver’s cabin ensures high visibility while achieving a streamlined, stylish design; the window glass of train cars has high thermal- and sound-insulating properties, offering a safe and comfortable ride for passengers. Glass used for front lamp covers, glass for destination display boards, and interior glass are also the products of AGC.

AGC has 50 years of experience of safety glass for high-speed railways, including Shinkansen bullet trains. The AGC Group will continue to develop and provide high value-added products that support safe and comfortable transportation equipment by leveraging its diverse array of materials and technologies.

AGC to Have Exhibit at “Milan Design Week”, World’s Largest Design Festival, for First Time

Asahi Glass Company (AGC), a world-leading manufacturer of glass, chemicals and high-tech materials, announced today that, this year, AGC will have an exhibition booth at “Milan Design Week”, the world’s largest design festival held every April in Milan, for the first time.

AGC will be using its new products called “infoverre^™” and “Glascene^™” to create a glass exhibit where visitors experience the space in a new and unique way.

The exhibit concept is Glacier formation. Up-and-coming creators who are well versed in know-how for using glass in architectural design and pioneer next-generation techniques will create a new world by interweaving glass and information.

AGC is a world leader in architectural glass, automotive glass and display glass. At Milan Design Week, our exhibit using “infoverre^™” and “Glascene^™” which were created with technology and know-how nurtured over many decades will stimulate the imagination and motivation of many designers in the fields of architecture, interior design and spatial presentation.

Milan Design Week

The “Milan Design Week”, one of the largest design festivals in the world, has been held every April in Milan, Italy since 1961. Approximately 1,000 events (Fuori Salone) in which designers and other creative people compete with unique designs are held simultaneously during the festival at various locations in Milan, and all of these events are now collectively called “Milan Design Week”. AGC will have an exhibition booth at this year’s Fuori Salone for the first time.

Space Design Concept

Creating a “glacier formation” using glass and information.

People are no longer able to grasp information from an entire picture perspective since the huge volume of information continues to increase. People only recognize the portion of information that they have extracted, and perceive the mass of information as the environment surrounding them. People that exist in this environment inevitably disseminate information on a constant basis, and the entire picture of information continually changes.

When people enter the glacial formation made from glass in which information is projected, the fixed relationship of how that individual perceives information is transformed, and by being immersed in the information, that individual experiences the information as the environment which surrounds him. The environment itself is then transformed by this individual. Each individual extracts information at certain times, and is integrated into the information at some point in time.

Information is focused by a certain part of the glass, and is diminished by the opacity and reflective properties of glass, becoming part of the environment. When the individual follows the information and walks through the exhibit, the space itself is transformed, becoming part of the environment which is a shadow. By interacting with a variety of information, the glacier changes while brightly shining.

When the transparency and reflective properties of glass are integrated with the projection and display of information, a space that allows people to interact in a brand-new way with information is created.

Direction / Visual Design Concept

Feelings, Touch, Temperature and Emotion

Just before informatization of these things, they all have a rich organic heritage.

Mankind has continued to amass information, and although the huge volume of records that continue to be compiled cannot be touched, they can be seen, and is now perceived on an unconscious rather than conscious level. We referred to the wide variety of information in these records, and are updating a certain perspective of the information that is projected.

Approach or Look Down On

Individual people and their relationships can be seen by approaching them, and an overall perspective can be acquiring by looking down on them.

The zigzagging world will be expressed with a huge amount of glass pieces based on information focused on people, which will be projected into space with visuals and light. The information is nested, and it is hoped that by having people experience a gentle connection with information and its spatial modality will help create a new type of latitude in how people think and feel.

AGC is pleased to announce that its global branding project for the world’s first glass bench roof received the grand prize in the Corporate Communication category of the 2014 PR Award Grand Prix, sponsored by the Public Relations Society of Japan.

The award-winning project is a series of activities AGC started when signing an agreement to become a 2014 FIFA World Cup^™ Branded Licensee to market the “Official Licensed Glass Roof of the 2014 FIFA World Cup^™ Player Benches” for the FIFA Confederations Cup 2013 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil^™.

AGC Light Control Glass WONDERLITE

Do you happen to be disturbed by haze in tunnels or dark nights? For long distance to drive in your car – would you dream of an open sky sensation?

AGC Wonderlite is your solution

September, 2014

AGC’s Light Control Glass WONDERLITE^™ Selected for Panoramic Glass Roof on European Luxury Car

Large-sized light control glass, with special coating applied, provides increased comfort and energy savings

AGC announced today that its light control glass WONDERLITE^™ has been selected for the Magic Sky Control panoramic glass roof available as an option for the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupé, which was released on the European and North American markets on September 27, 2014.

The Magic Sky Control glass roof equipped with WONDERLITE is the world’s largest light control glass roof for automotive use that changes its color from transparent to dark blue just by pressing a button.

AGC’s WONDERLITE, a SPD¹-based light control glass for vehicles, will contribute to increased comfort and energy savings of cars for the following features.

Three times larger than conventional light control glass roof

Covering an area three times larger than the existing product, the large-sized light control glass roof affords a unique open-air feeling whatever the outside conditions, and dramatically increases the lighting comfort inside the car.

UV & IR protection achieved with AGC’s special coating

WONDERLITE used for the Magic Sky Control glass roof has been applied with special solar control coatings², which filter out sunburn-causing ultraviolet radiation and heat-producing infra-red radiations even in the transparent mode. Through the effective integration of its light control and special coating technologies, AGC provides drivers and passengers with an optimal driving environment and contributes directly to reducing the need for air-conditioning, thus lowering fuel consumption.

By leveraging its diverse materials and technologies, AGC will continue to offer high value-added products that help to reduce environmental load and create comfortable living spaces.

1. Suspended Particle Devices (SPD): thin-film technology in which particles inside laminated glass become aligned when an electrical voltage is applied, making the glass structure transparent.

2. Metal thin film coatings which, when deposited on the glass surface, give it greater insulating and/or solar control properties.
