IMST History - Innovation since 1992

As an SME - small and medium-sized enterprise, IMST is involved in consortia and working groups from industry and universities, for example in the 6G initiative of the BMBF - Federal Ministry of Education and Research. IMST is experienced as a lead consortium partner in such consortia. These projects are co-financed with funds from various federal ministries of the European Union or funds from the state government of NRW-North Rhine-Westphalia.

During this period, the first LoRa® module was developed by IMST and is still distributed today. Furthermore, the radar product range was established in the company's webshop. Another milestone is the project "Living in the Smart City", which is co-funded by the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia and the EU under funding code: EFRE-04001007.

At the beginning of the new millennium, the portfolio of IMST GmbH was expanded beyond the initial focus of digital mobile radio. With the two key initiatives C21 - Centre for Communication, Multimedia and Wireless Internet, co-financed by the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and the European Union (funding code: PTJ z0304pm09) - and "das KAT" - Centre of Competence for Automotive Communication Technology (funding code: PTJ 280312212), the company positioned itself as a full-service provider in the field of mobile internet.

The beginning of IMST GmbH was in 1992 with the establishment of the company. The state of North Rhine-Westphalia supported this Hi-Tec settlement with funding from the Coal Retreat Areas Action Framework. In addition, the first major project order was placed by Argumens Mikrowellen-Elektronik. As early as 1996, the first expansion came in the form of the new EMC(U) laboratory, specialising in the investigation of the interaction between mobile radio and the human body. The measurement service for determining SAR values (specific absorption values) is still in high demand today.
