Hany Assal, Ph.D.,
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Dr. Assal has many years of experience in leading and establishing electronics and telecommunication ventures in the Middle East . Prior to joining AMANT, Dr. Assal co-founded and managed International Electronics Products (IEP), later Bahgat Group, Branded under the name “Goldstar” and later “Goldy” IEP’s products soon grew to become Egypt’s top supplier of electronic products and appliances. Later, Dr. Assal lead a group of investors in the acquisition of Egyptian Telephone Company (Quicktel) where he became the chairman of the board. Within less than four years, Dr. Assal was able to turn the company’s losses as a public sector company into a business. Dr. Assal earned his Ph.D. in telecommunication from Stanford University.
Mohamed Sanad, Ph.D.,
Founder
Dr. Sanad is a professor at the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University. He was also an adjunct professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Nevada, Reno, USA. He has founded "Amant Antennas" in Reno, Nevada, USA and then he moved it to Egypt. Dr. Sanad got his Ph.D. degrees from the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Manitoba, Canada. He filed more than 30 patents in the USA and worldwide and published more than 80 antenna papers.
Dr. Sanad directed and achieved several research projects for some of the largest telecommunication companies in the USA and the world such as Nokia Mobile Phones, Texas Instruments, Amplica Inc, Metricom Inc, Snap Track Inc, Antennas America Inc, HiPoint Technology Inc, Aetherwire Inc and others. He established antenna research centers for some of these companies from scratch and He directed their technical strategic planning. Dr. Sanad is the one who invented the first internal (embedded) integrated microstrip antenna for cellular phones when he was leading the antenna development team at Nokia Mobile Phones in San Diego, California.
Recently, Dr. Sanad has invented another novel technology, which is a handset antenna that covers the whole LTE (4G) spectrum plus the WiMAX, 2G and 3G bands. A single passive antenna could cover all the important wireless applications without using any matching or tuning circuits. This makes it feasible to use the same handset everywhere in the world (global roaming) with all generations of wireless applications included (2G, 3G, 4G, ------ etc.). On the other hand, Dr. Sanad has invented a new multiple beam cellular base station antenna that can simultaneously cover an unlimited number of wireless applications, regardless of their frequency bands. This will significantly enhance the efforts to develop new wireless technologies and add new applications.
In March, 2012, Mohamed Sanad won the 2012 Innovation Prize for Africa, "IPA", (US$100,000). "IPA" was awarded by the United Nation Economic Commission for Africa "UNECA" and the African Innovation Foundation "AIF" in recognition of one of his base station antenna innovations.
