Delivering efficiency and seamless integration for set-top-box and
gateway deployments as well as LPWAN technologies including CAT-M1,
LoRa, and NB-IoT
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Airgain,
Inc. (NASDAQ:
AIRG), a leading provider of embedded antenna technologies used to
enable high performance wireless networking, today introduced the
Profile Contour Embedded series of new ultra wide-band miniaturized
antennas, to provide LTE connectivity to the smart home and emerging Low
Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) applications, including Industrial
Internet of Things (IIoT).
Targeting set-top-box and gateway deployments as well as LPWAN
applications including CAT-M1, LoRa, and NB-IoT, the latest LTE embedded
antennas from Airgain utilize an efficient flexible polymer-based low
profile design optimized for confined designs and robust assembly
variations. Available now, the antennas require minimal incremental
integration effort, minimizing the cost and complexity typically
associated with embedded antenna system integration. These antennas
provide market-leading performance for shorter cable lengths in the
lower LTE frequency ranges, making them ideal for LPWAN applications.
With four billion Internet of Things devices expected to rely on LPWANs
by 2025, these miniaturized LTE antennas from Airgain will help drive
proliferation in LPWAN technology, which is forecasted to be the fastest
growing connectivity segment in the market through to 20251.
Airgain’s expertise and innovation in enabling high performance wireless
networking will support environments including smart homes, smart
cities, smart buildings, and IIoT applications as they embrace LPWAN.
“The demand for the best connectivity everywhere and on everything is
transforming whole industries,” said Airgain President and Chief
Executive Officer, Charles Myers. "We are seeing increasing demand for
LTE in our traditional set-top-box business as the smart home becomes a
reality, while high growth forecasted in IIoT applications is driving
the proliferation in technologies such as LPWAN. In this environment, an
antenna which is small, easily integrated and cost effective is
fundamental, which is why we have introduced this series of miniaturized
embedded LTE antennas. Airgain is enabling the high performance wireless
connectivity required as industries connect the unconnected.”
With multiple applications, this latest series of embedded antennas for
LTE and LPWAN from Airgain expands its existing Profile Contour embedded
antenna product line. This builds on Airgain’s patented antenna
technology it has built over more than a decade in delivering
best-in-class wireless connectivity through embedded antenna design and
integration innovation.
Airgain will be attending MWC
Americas 2017 in San Francisco, from September 12-14, as well as IBC
2017, in Amsterdam, from September 15-19. Visit the LoRa
Alliance stand, N.620, at MWC 2017 and stand 15.MS3
at IBC 2017 to view product demonstrations and discuss its latest
technology offerings. Airgain's latest innovations for multi-gigabit
Wi-Fi, LTE, LPWAN, and more will be on display. To request a meeting or
