LTE Antennas Released From Taoglas For M2M Wireless Applications

Taoglas has unveiled a range of ultra-wideband LTE antennas. Included in this off-the-shelf range are through hole, adhesive and connector mount external antennas as well as internal, surface mount, on-board, and off-board, flexible polymer antennas. The new TG.30 Apex, FXUB.66 Maximus and PA.710A Warrior wide-band antennas include all working frequencies in the 700-6000 MHz spectrum including 2G/3G/4G cellular, Wi-Fi, ISM, GPS and AGPS.

"The demand for high performance wireless access is driving the move to 4G/LTE networks. With LTE devices, there are two antenna ports for transmitting and receiving information enabling the high throughput that today’s connected devices require,” said Dermot O’Shea, director at Taoglas. “Taoglas has developed a range of antennas all with very high performance to meet the demands of LTE networks and devices. Using any of our off-the-shelf LTE antennas will future proof M2M devices for next generation networks.”

TG30 Apex: The TG30 Apex dipole terminal connector mount LTE antenna has an efficiency of up to 90%.

PA.710A Warrior: The PA.710A Warrior surface mount antenna is offered on tape and reel and is mounted via the production reflow process to the main PCB.

FXUB.66 Maximus: The FXUB.66 Maximus is an ultrathin, flexible, polymer antenna measuring 120.4 x 50.4 x 0.2 mm. It is assembled by a “peel and stick” process, attaching securely to non-metal surfaces via 3M adhesive. The Maximus antenna has a unique hybrid design, which offers good efficiency at lower frequencies, while maintaining high performance across the entire bands.

These antennas are to be released on October 9th, 2012 at CTIA Mobile Con in San Diego, (M2M Zone booth #546); Metering Billing/CRM in Amsterdam, (Booth #D56), and Taitronics in Taipei, (booth # K0422).
