In our last newsletter of 2022, we are featuring the new version of an antenna that we have sold successfully for more than 20 years. Have a look at our LPDA-500, the LPDA that just improves with age! During this year we released an impressive 12 new products including the NARWHAL Marine Antenna Series, our first directional 4×4 MIMO Antenna and the latest EPoynt Antenna Enclosure. To end off the year, we have initiated a project to support Leopard Conservation in South Africa with communication equipment and by purchasing Lazy Leopard Coffee at Poynting.

What an exciting year for the Poynting Team. The 2nd year of working remotely went much smoother than the first and we are all getting used to Teams meetings with partners and colleagues from all over the world.
In 2021 we opened an office in the USA and our European team more than doubled in size. South African production, logistics and finance teams courageously battled international supply and logistics constraints to supply more antennas than ever before.
Andre wrote a letter where he hints to what is being planned for 2022 – have a look below. To quote his wish for all of us: “Do things, take risks and be happy regardless of failure or success.”
