ATC Antennas & Squishmallow Collaboration: Boosting Signal & Softness!

ATC Antennas LLC, based right here in Boston (116 Huntington Avenue, 02116, you can reach us at 203-264-1063), is usually known for keeping you connected – we design and build high-performance antennas for everything from 5G networks to satellite communication. But we've done something a little different this time. We've teamed up with the ridiculously popular Squishmallow brand to bring you a limited edition run that’s all about signal and softness! Now, you might be thinking, "Antennas and plush toys? What gives?" Well, at ATC, we're always thinking about connections. Connecting people to each other, connecting devices to the network… and we figured, why not connect people to comfort too? Plus, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a Squishmallow? So, what exactly is this collaboration? We’ve created a limited run of specially designed Squishmallows – adorable, ultra-soft plush toys – that subtly incorporate antenna technology. We're calling them “Signal Buddies.” These aren't your average stuffed animals; inside each Signal Buddy is a miniature, fully functional (though decorative!) antenna – a tiny piece of what we do best. Why put an antenna inside a Squishmallow? Good question! It's not about boosting your Wi-Fi (though wouldn’t that be something!). It's a symbolic gesture. We wanted to create a tangible reminder of the invisible technology that keeps us connected. Think of it as a little bit of tech magic wrapped in a whole lot of cuddle. Let’s talk about the Squishmallows themselves. This limited edition run features four unique Signal Buddies, each inspired by a different aspect of connectivity: "Nova" the Network Owl: Representing the sprawling networks that keep us online, Nova is a wise and observant owl with a sleek silver antenna nestled inside. She’s a reminder that everything is connected. "Bolt" the Satellite Squirrel: Inspired by satellite communication, Bolt is a playful squirrel with a bright, upward-pointing antenna. He’s always looking towards the future. "Wave" the 5G Whale: A symbol of the fast and reliable 5G technology sweeping the nation, Wave is a gentle giant with a smooth, curved antenna. He’s all about seamless connections. “Echo” the Signal Bunny: Representing the importance of clear communication, Echo is a cute bunny with a small, discreet antenna, symbolizing a strong and reliable signal. Each Signal Buddy is made with the same super-soft, high-quality materials Squishmallow is known for. They’re incredibly huggable, perfect for all ages, and make a unique conversation starter. They're also individually numbered, making each one a collector's item! How did this crazy idea come about? Honestly, it started as a bit of a brainstorming session. We at ATC Antennas were looking for a way to connect with a wider audience and show that technology can be fun and approachable. Someone jokingly suggested putting an antenna in a Squishmallow, and… well, we couldn't shake the idea! “We wanted to do something unexpected,” says Sarah Chen, Marketing Director at ATC Antennas. “We’re a serious engineering company, but we also have a sense of humor. This collaboration is a way to show that technology doesn’t have to be intimidating. It can be soft, cuddly, and even a little bit whimsical.” Beyond the Cuteness: ATC Antennas – The Power Behind the Connection. While the Signal Buddies are adorable, it’s important to remember what ATC Antennas actually does. For over 20 years, we’ve been designing and manufacturing high-performance antennas for a wide range of applications, including: 5G & Cellular Networks: We provide antennas that help deliver faster and more reliable mobile connectivity. Satellite Communications: Our antennas enable communication in remote locations and for critical applications.

IoT (Internet of Things): We create antennas that connect the billions of devices that are making our world smarter. We're a team of dedicated engineers and experts committed to pushing the boundaries of antenna technology. We pride ourselves on our innovation, quality, and commitment to customer satisfaction. Where can you get your hands on a Signal Buddy? The limited edition Squishmallow Signal Buddies are available exclusively through our website (www.atc-antennas.com/squishmallow) starting November 15th. Due to the limited quantity, we anticipate they will sell out quickly! Each Signal Buddy comes with a certificate of authenticity and a little story about their connection to the world of antennas. So, whether you're a tech enthusiast, a Squishmallow collector, or just looking for a unique and cuddly gift, the Signal Buddies are sure to brighten your day. They’re a reminder that even the most complex technology can be approachable, fun, and… surprisingly soft!
