Laird Announces New Heptaband External Wireless Antenna

By Anuradha Shukla, TMCnet Contributing Editor

Laird Technologies (News - Alert), Inc., has announced the availability of its new Heptaband External Wireless Antenna, an ultra-flexible, very unique antenna that exhibits excellent radio transmission characteristics while supporting seven bands in one profile.



 
According to company sources, the seven antenna bands operate simultaneously, which provide performance across Cellular Quadband GSM, UMTS/3G, GPS, and WiFi (News - Alert)/ WLAN frequencies. Measuring only 6.33 inches, this blade-style antenna has a knuckle/swivel snap-in or SMA (News - Alert)/TNC/RPTNC connector option, allowing for easy integration into a wide variety of customer devices.
 
Craig Somach, business director for Infrastructure Antenna Systems, noted that the Heptaband Antenna is the ideal choice when multiple bandwidths are required in various regional and global wireless applications. He pointed out that the antenna is ideal for wireless terminal, point-of-sale, automatic meter reading, M2M (machine-to-machine), and home security applications.
 
Operating frequencies for this antenna include 824-894 MHz, 880-960 MHz, 1575 MHz, 1710-1880 MHz, 1850-1990 MHz, 1920-2170 MHz, and 2400-2500 MHz.
 
Laird Technologies designs and supplies customized, performance-critical products for wireless and other advanced electronics applications. The company recently deployed an advanced 3D simulation tool that aids in the design of electronic devices. Laird is using the tool in rigorous 3D simulations for the design of complex mobile devices and advanced antenna systems.
 
Blaine Bateman, Laird Technologies’ vice president of marketing, observed that the ability to simulate effects of multiple antennas coupled to other subsystems in the device is critical for next-generation protocols supporting live video, high-data rate transmission, interactive web surfing, and other wireless Internet capabilities.
