• SeRo adds secure aircraft tracking technology that accelerates the company’s capabilities and global presence
• New name reflects the company’s evolution into a developer of best-in-class air navigation technologies


AMBLER, PA, March 16, 2021 — Route Dynamics Corp, a leader in advanced aviation technologies, announced that it has changed its name to Nexteon Technologies, Inc. — a name that better reflects the company’s commitment to modernizing air navigation and enabling more efficient, greener and more secure global aviation.

In addition, on February 26, Nexteon agreed to acquire SeRo Systems GmbH through its newly formed Nexteon Europe subsidiary. The terms were not disclosed, and the transaction is expected to close before the end of the year.
Based in Kaiserslautern, Germany, SeRo Systems develops technologies that collect, store, process, analyze and visualize Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) and secondary surveillance radar (SSR)-based tracking information. With customers including EUROCONTROL, SeRo’s ADS-B/SSR solutions enhance the security of international air traffic control systems and accelerate the adoption of next-generation air traffic surveillance technologies. Upon completion of the transaction, Dr. Matthias Schäfer, SeRo’s Managing Director, will join Nexteon’s executive leadership team as SecureTrack’s Chief Technology Officer.

“Over the last three years, we have been developing proprietary technologies that address the world’s aviation challenges and prepare them for what comes next,” said Rob Kaimowitz, Chief Executive Officer of Nexteon. “With the SeRo acquisition and launch of our Nexteon brand, we are uniquely positioned to deliver state-of-the-art, rapidly deployable and cost-effective solutions that empower modernized aviation. SeRo is a strategic addition whose tracking and analyzing technology is integral to our groundbreaking SecureTrack™ air surveillance data solution. By combining our best-in-class talent and technologies, we will offer air navigation service providers (ANSPs) the most cybersecure, precise and reliable air surveillance data available.”

“We are very excited to join the Nexteon team,” Dr. Schäfer added. “By working together, we will bring our technology to the next level to help maximize the security of air traffic control and foster rapid adoption of innovative air surveillance technologies.”
