1991

Three friends, one company: 2N

2N was established in Prague by three friends with a passion for technology and invention. Just one year later, they launched the first ATEUS 280 telephone exchange, and within a few years, the company grew to become a leader in telecommunication solutions.

2000s

New technologies

Nearly a decade later, 2N had expanded significantly, operating in multiple markets and creating new devices. 2005 saw the invention of the 2N Netstar IP Telephone Exchange, a communication system that delivered solutions to leading mobile and landline operators globally and marked a shift in our focus towards IP technology and the online environment.

2008

The first IP intercom is born

We weren’t exaggerating when we said we’d kept innovating – 2008 saw the invention of the first IP intercom, which spearheaded our focus on access control and revolutionised door communication and the landscape of access technology forever. The 2N Helios IP Vario was sold for 10 more years after its invention and some are still in operation today!

2N became part of the Axis family in 2016, which expanded our opportunities, resources, and network. Our products work seamlessly with their impressive line of network cameras, and we share their vision of innovating for a smarter, safer world.

Today

From humble beginnings to an exciting future

Since we were founded, 2N has grown from a small telecommunications company in the heart of Europe to a global leader in the intercom market with a line of high-quality intercoms, access readers, elevator solutions, indoor stations, and more. But, we haven’t forgotten where we came from – all our technology is developed, tested, and manufactured in the same city those friends began working on their vision. Here’s to a limitless future!

A shared vision of safety

2N and Axis share resources and work together to create market-leading solutions you can rely on. Our access technology integrates seamlessly with Axis' leading IP cameras, allowing you to build an advanced security system that meets your needs.

Our DNA: Reliable innovation

We excel in two areas: reliability and innovation. We innovate by inventing and by pushing modern IP systems over outdated legacy ones. But, we’ll always put reliability first . Because without being proven to be 100% reliable, no innovation is ever finished and ready to go to you, our customers.
