To celebrate Pulsaart’s 5th anniversary, we wanted to look back not only at the technologies and projects that shaped the company, but also at the people behind them. In this first conversation, we speak with Yvain Cornet, CEO of Pulsaart by AGC, about the journey from an internal idea to a profitable business active across Europe, and about the team that made it possible. Hello, Yvain. Thank you for finding time for the interview. Five years of Pulsaart already. How does t

Poor mobile reception on trains is often linked to the windows themselves. Metallic coatings used on modern railway glazing provide important thermal performance, but they can also reduce the penetration of 4G and 5G signals into the passenger cabin. At InnoTrans 2026, Pulsaart by AGC and AGC Glass Europe presented two ways to address this challenge through the train window: WAVETHRU™ Retrofit and AGC’s Transparent 5G Glass Antenna. How can mobile signal penetration through e

Mobile connectivity has become an important part of the passenger experience. Whether working, making a call or streaming content, passengers increasingly expect to stay connected throughout their journey. Yet modern train windows can make this difficult: the metallic coatings used to improve thermal performance can also significantly reduce the penetration of 4G and 5G signals into the train. At InnoTrans 2026, Pulsaart by AGC will present WAVETHRU™ Retrofit, a solution deve

Streaming, remote work, phone calls and constant access to mobile data have become part of modern travel. Yet anyone who uses trains regularly knows the frustration of weak or completely lost signal while onboard. The main reason for this problem is inside the trains themselves. Modern train windows often
