Pilkington DataBoost™


Pilkington DataBoost™ is a fully passive technology designed to improve signal transmission. It powers our IGUs to significantly enhance wireless signal transmission, including 4G & 5G, while maintaining the core performance of a standard Insulating Glass Unit.

Any of our Insulating Glass Units can be upgraded with Pilkington DataBoost™ technology, which uses an innovative laser-etching process to create a specially designed pattern on the glass coating. This improves the transmission of wireless signals through the unit.

Furthermore, improved signal strength allows connected devices like smartphones and tablets to operate longer. Better signal strength inside buildings helps to extend battery life by reducing power consumption.

Why choose Pilkington DataBoost™?


Our expert testing has demonstrated that Pilkington DataBoost™ technology significantly improves wireless signal transmission through Insulating Glass Units:

Upgrading the Insulating Glass Unit with Pilkington DataBoost™ technology resulted in a 31 dB improvement in wireless signal transmission compared to the corresponding standard product (double).*

Upgrading the Insulating Glass Unit with Pilkington DataBoost™ technology resulted in a 38 dB improvement in wireless signal transmission compared to the corresponding standard product (triple).*

* for the 3500 MHz frequency band respectively with one or two standard low-e coatings.

Programm zur Spektralberechnung

Pilkington Spectrum ist ein Windows-basiertes Modell zur Berechnung der Glaseigenschaften, mit dem Sie wichtige Eigenschaften von Isolierglaseinheiten schnell und effizient berechnen können, ohne diese erst herstellen und vermessen zu müssen. Mit Pilkington Spectrum können Sie folgende Informationen ermitteln:

  • Licht- und Sonneneigenschaften (Transmission, Reflexion, Absorption, g-Wert usw.).
  • Ug-Wert der Mittelfläche.
  • Schalldämmwerte.
  • Ultraviolett (UV)-Durchlässigkeit und Farbwiedergabeindex (Ra).
  • Weitere Eigenschaften (z. B. Pendelschlagfestigkeit, Brandschutz, Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen manuelle Einbruchsversuche usw.).
