Airgain will provide high performance embedded antenna system for
Askey’s 802.11ac Wave 2 router
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Airgain,
Inc. (NASDAQ:
AIRG), a global leader in wireless connectivity platforms, today
announced it has been chosen by Askey
Computer Corporation, a leading provider of wireless communication
devices, to provide embedded antenna technology for Askey’s next
generation RT4230W 802.11ac dual-band router. The new router
incorporates IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi support, providing maximum home
coverage and gigabit throughput speeds for the end users of a major
North American cable broadband supplier.
Askey’s RT4230W router utilizes an advanced embedded antenna solution,
supporting dual band, 4x4 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi to incorporate the
latest 802.11ac Wave 2 technology. Wave 2 Wi-Fi provides nearly double
the bandwidth of Wave 1, up to 2.3Gbps, and supports multiuser
Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MU-MiMo). Airgain’s antenna design
allows the RT4230W router to achieve powerful throughput and coverage
while maintaining a small and modern form factor.
“After evaluating several antenna options and suppliers, we selected
Airgain’s premium antenna solution because optimal performance was a key
requirement,” said Eric Lui, Askey’s Senior VP of R&D. “Demand for
superior connectivity has never been higher, and it holds the key to
ensuring the latest innovations for smart homes and cities become a
reality. We have high expectations for the RT4230W and Airgain was able
to achieve the specifications and metrics we set. We look forward to
Airgain’s contributions to help Askey continue to develop world class
product solutions.”
Jacob Suen, Senior VP, Worldwide Sales at Airgain said: “Our engineering
team worked to provide an optimal design and integration and test
support to help identify and overcome any technical challenges.
Collaboration on the design effort with Askey resulted in best-in-class
performance, and we are excited to see our advanced antenna technologies
incorporated into Askey’s newest Wave 2 router. We are proud to work
with Askey to ensure their networking products can perform as intended,
and help their customers meet today’s raised expectations.”
