Elbit Systems Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG
Telefunken was a large German manufacturer of electronic equipment, with its
headquarters in Ulm (Germany) and subsidaries all over the country, including
Backnang (near Stuttgart). The company was active in many fields,
ranging from domestic appliances (radio, television, etc.)
to high-end radioequipment for the Department of Defense (DoD).
Founded in 1903 as a joint venture between
Siemens & Halske
and AEG, the company has also traded as AEG Telefunken.
AEG was aqcuired by DASA and was later merged into EADS Racoms.
The resulting company was subsequently sold to Cassidian and eventually to Hensoldt.
Some parts are still based in Ulm, but have undergone many reorganisations in recent
years. In 2004, the former Racoms 1 division was sold to the Israeli
Elbit Systems conglomerate — that also holds
Tadiran — but continued to trade
as Telefunken Racoms. In 2020, Telefunken Racoms was renamed
Elbit Systems Deutschland.
It is still based in Ulm and produces radio equipment for the German Armed
Forces and for NATO.
Officially, AEG Telefunken no longer exists as a company, but its name is used
(under licence) by several companies in various fields, as it is considered
a strong brand name. Telefunken Racoms (i.e. Elbit Systems)
used a red variant of the old Telefunken logo on its stationary and brochures.

Covert listening devices (bugs)

It is little known that AEG-Telefunken also produced a range of covert
listening devices (bugs) and hybrid components for such devices,
for use by intelligence agencies and law enforcement services.
Some of these are listed in a confidential catalogue of April 1980 [I].

In 1983 AEG-Telefunken Nachrichtentechnik GmbH in Backnang (Germany),
was sold to a consortium consisting of Bosch, Mannesmann and Allianz.
At the same time the name of the company was changed to
ANT Nachrichtentechnik GmbH. Apparently, this affects some of the
products listed above, as the name ANT may appear on the front panel
or in the firmware of some of these devices.
