ATC Antennas & Squishmallow Collaboration: Boosting Signal, Boosting Smiles

ATC Antennas LLC, based right here in Boston (116 Huntington Avenue, MA, 02116, you can reach us at 203-264-1063), isn’t exactly known for plush toys, but bear with us! We’re antenna experts, building high-performance communication solutions for everything from 5G networks to satellite systems. But we're also about making connections - and this time, that connection is adorable. We're thrilled to announce a really fun, unexpected collaboration with the creators of Squishmallow, the super-popular, unbelievably soft plush toys! Now, you might be thinking, “Antennas and Squishmallows? What’s the deal?” It’s simpler than you think. At ATC Antennas, we're all about improving signal strength and getting information where it needs to go. Squishmallows? They’re all about bringing joy and comfort. We figured, why not combine the two? We’ve been working behind the scenes with the Squishmallow team to create a very limited edition run of Squishmallows… and these aren’t just any Squishmallows. These are special. The "Signal Boost" Squishmallow Collection This isn’t just about slapping our logo on a plushie. We’ve been deeply involved in the design process, and it’s reflected in every detail. The "Signal Boost" collection features three unique Squishmallow characters, each inspired by the core principles of antenna technology and our commitment to seamless connection. “Radius” the Rainbow Seal: Radius represents the wide coverage area and signal distribution we strive for in our antenna designs. He’s a vibrant rainbow seal, symbolizing the broad spectrum of frequencies we work with. He's extra fluffy and features a tiny, embroidered antenna on his head! Seriously, look closely – it’s there. We wanted to represent the unseen technology that connects us all. He's all about reaching out and covering a LOT of ground. “Polar” the Polar Bear: Polar represents the directionality and precision of our antennas. He's a sleek, white polar bear (naturally!) with a focused, determined expression. He has a subtle, silver swirl pattern on his belly, representing the polarization of radio waves. Think of him as a laser beam of fluffy goodness – getting the signal exactly where it needs to go. He's for those who want a strong, focused connection. “Wave” the Narwhal: Wave embodies the invisible waves that carry information. He's a playful narwhal (what else?) with a shimmering, iridescent horn that seems to glow. The horn is designed to subtly mimic the shape of a helical antenna – a sophisticated antenna type we often use in our satellite communication systems. He's all about the flow of information and a little bit of magic. More Than Just Cute – Supporting STEM Education We at ATC Antennas are passionate about STEM education – Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. We believe in inspiring the next generation of innovators. That’s why a portion of the proceeds from the “Signal Boost” Squishmallow collection will be donated to organizations dedicated to providing STEM resources to underserved communities. We’re hoping these Squishmallows can spark curiosity about the technology that surrounds us, showing kids that science and engineering can be fun, creative, and… really soft. Limited Edition – Get Yours Before They’re Gone! These Squishmallows are a seriously limited run. We’re talking extremely limited. We made a small batch to test the waters and gauge interest.

Why Squishmallows? Why Now? You might be wondering why an antenna company is getting into the plush toy business. The answer is simple: connection. We connect people with technology, and Squishmallows connect with people on an emotional level. They're comforting, huggable, and bring a little bit of joy to everyday life. We wanted to create something that represented our company values – innovation, quality, and a commitment to making a positive impact – in a fun, unexpected way. We’re confident that the “Signal Boost” Squishmallow collection will be a hit with both Squishmallow collectors and tech enthusiasts alike. It’s a unique and memorable way to celebrate the power of connection and the joy of a good hug. ATC Antennas: Connecting the World, One Antenna (and One Squishmallow) at a Time.
