Company:Stansaab
Stansaab AS was a company founded in 1971 in Barkarby, outside Stockholm, Sweden. The company was a joint venture between Standard Radio & Telefon AB (SRT), Saab-Scania, the car and aeroplane manufacturer and the state-owned Swedish Development Company. The company’s primary focus was systems for real-time data applied to commercial and aviation applications.[1] In 1972, the company purchased the data terminal operations of Facit.[2]
In 1978, it was merged with the Data Saab division of Saab to create Datasaab.[3] In 1981, Ericsson, believing that growth in telecoms would be lower than that in IT, purchased Datasaab and integrated it with two of its own divisions to form Ericsson Information Systems (EIS).[4]
One of the most successful products of the company was the Alfaskop range of data terminals.[2]
