LTE/cellular octa-band embedded antenna for M2M and IoT
By leveraging the company’s patented Isolated Magnetic Dipole (IMD) technology, which enables high performance and isolation characteristics, the P822601 antenna is capable of providing a robust radio link and minimal interference across all major bands – 700, 750, 850, 900, 1800, 1900, 2100 and 2700 MHz – requiring fewer SKUs for global LTE coverage.
Optimized for MIMO configuration, this antenna meets an important LTE requirement. As the next generation of the company’s renowned P522304 (penta-band) antenna design, this latest octa-band antenna additionally supports fallback for 2G and 3G networks, providing ubiquitous coverage for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. IMD antenna technology additionally provides superior RF field containment, resulting in less interaction with surrounding components, lower program development risk and yielding a quicker time-to-market.
Utilizing a cost-competitive PCB antenna design, this antenna is easy to surface mount on a device’s board. The easy-to-integrate antenna’s small profile and low-height consumes less board space than other antennas.
“The continued deployment of LTE networks coupled with the growth of IoT has signaled a need for high-performance RF solutions capable of providing ubiquitous coverage across a wide range of spectrum bands,” said Chen Huang, Deputy General Manager, Americas for Ethertronics. “From automotive and healthcare to the connected home, our compact and efficient Prestta P822601 octa-band antenna is an ideal solution for OEMs looking to integrate standard products into their M2M and IoT designs, given its ability to break through restrictive design rules and provide design freedom in component placement.”
