Abstract :
Allgon, “The Antenna Specialist”, was a leading international design house and manufacturer of antennas for almost 60 years. The company was started in Stockholm in 1947 under the name of “Antennspecialisten”, by the Swedish engineer Torbjörn Cramner and his wife Veronica. In 1951 the company moved to Åkersberga north of Stockholm where its main facilities where located until the late 90´s. During its life time the company designed and produced antennas for HF, VHF, Cellular and Microwave frequency bands, and for military, emergency, private and cellular radio systems. The company was in 2004 acquired by the US based company Powerwave but still today many of its original antenna designs are in production and many thousands of its base station antennas for mobile networks are still deployed all around the World
