Antenna Software is a business mobility solutions provider with headquarters in Jersey City, New Jersey and offices in Guildford, Bangalore, Seoul, Boston, Toronto and Kraków. Founded in 1998,[1] the company expanded rapidly due to a combination of strong organic growth and several high profile acquisitions. It was acquired by Pegasystems in 2013.[2]
Antenna’s core product is the Antenna Mobility Platform (AMP), which is capable of deploying mobile apps, websites and storefronts on behalf of organizations, and which won the GSMA Global Mobile Award for Best Mobile Enterprise Solution at Mobile World Congress 2011 in Barcelona.[3] The most recent iteration of AMP is branded AMPchroma, and launched in February 2012.[4] Antenna claims that AMPchroma is capable of supporting "the full lifecycle" of mobile apps, websites and storefronts.[5]
History
Antenna was founded in 1998 by Peter Semmelhack, who is now the President and CEO of Bug Labs.[6] Semmelhack originally titled the company ‘Antenna Tool & Die’[7] and he envisioned developing “mobile and wireless technology to connect people who worked outside a traditional office…to information and resources no matter where they were.”[8] Semmelhack occupied the positions of Chief Technology Officer and [then] Chairman at the company prior to his departure in April 2006.
James Hemmer, current President and CEO for Antenna, has led the company since July 2002.[9] Antenna has since branched out to provide consumer apps and mobile websites for a variety of Global 1000 customers,[10] garnering a position in the “Visionaries” quadrant of Gartner, Inc.’s Magic Quadrant for Mobile Consumer Application Platforms (MCAP) report in June 2011.[11]
In October 2013 Antenna Software was acquired by Pegasystems.
