SkyCross Announces New WiFi Antenna Line and Expands WiFi Distribution NetworkSAN JOSE, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Building on two recent award wins and creation of its Center of Excellence for Wireless Data Communications (News - Alert), SkyCross, a leading global designer and manufacturer of advanced antenna and RF solutions, announced today a new line of WiFi (News - Alert) antenna solutions. The company also announced an enhanced distribution network for its WiFi product lines. SkyCross Launches Full Line of WiFi Solutions SkyCross's new WiFi solutions enable original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs) to achieve a full range of solutions for their needs, including custom high-performance solutions; value offerings, where performance and low cost are needed; and efficiency solutions, where cost is minimized for the most price competitive environments and spatially-constrained platforms. OEMs and ODMs include SkyCross WiFi antennas in products ranging from wireless routers, set top boxes, gaming platforms, televisions, notebooks, tablets, hotspots, smartphones to other WiFi-enabled products. For new high-performance solutions, SkyCross's new 802.11ac antennas, either cabled or board mounted and either low-profile or standard profile, achieve among the fastest data rates available when paired with leading chipsets. In addition to solutions for traditional MIMO configurations, SkyCross announces the introduction of 8x8 solutions that further augment data rates and enhance throughput. For new value offerings, SkyCross announces its cornerstone products, the SkyCross TiFighter2.4TM and TiFighter5TM, which address both 2.4GHz and 5GHz needs. SkyCross TiFighter antennas provide superior WiFi and 802.11ac performance, a low-cost solution for 802.11ac antennas, and an innovative architecture and design for integrated design needs. Both solutions are available for evaluation as part of the SkyCross TiFighter Evaluation Kit. And, for new efficiency solutions, SkyCross announces the application of its patented iMAT technology to WiFi, enabling WiFi antennas to be placed in close proximity to one another. Eliminating spatial separation reduces antenna cost as well as overall system cost by reducing enclosure size for higher-order MIMO, including 3x3, 4x4, as well as 8x8 cost and system size savings. SkyCross Expands Distribution Netwok SkyCross also announced today the expansion of its North American distribution network with two organizations possessing significant WiFi experience and strong relationships with leading WiFi product manufacturers.
