New family of embedded antennas enables
configurable IEEE 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) performance to match any
needs
Airgain, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRG), a leading provider of
advanced antenna technologies used to enable high performance
wireless networking across a broad range of devices and markets,
including consumer, enterprise, and automotive, today announced the
release of the Profile X6 series of embedded antennas providing
full support for the new 6GHz (5.9-7.125GHz) ISM band spectrum.
These new antennas will help Wi-Fi system designers adapt to future
technological changes, enabling a more seamless transition to 6GHz
support once the new spectrum becomes available for Wi-Fi.
In October 2018, the FCC voted to allocate up to 1.2GHz of
mid-band 6GHz Wi-Fi spectrum for next generation Wi-Fi systems.
Following the Notice of Proposed Rule Making released in late 2018
by the FCC, the spectrum may be made available as early as late
2019. The 6GHz spectrum will be supported only with the latest
Wi-Fi technology, namely Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax). Wi-Fi system designers
including carriers and OEMs are deep into device design refresh
cycles based on Wi-Fi 6; however, since 6GHz is not ready they have
to decide to wait and risk being late to market, or to proceed
without 6GHz and face another design refresh cycle later.
“Our Wi-Fi 6 ready, 6GHz embedded antenna solutions enable Wi-Fi
system designers to build their Wi-Fi 6 systems with antenna
support for both 5GHz and 6GHz from day one. This creates potential
for a future upgrade to 6GHz, when utilizing radio hardware that is
upgradeable to support 6GHz, avoiding a new ground-up 6GHz design
once the 6GHz Wi-Fi spectrum becomes available,” said Callum Noon,
Senior Director, Product Management and Marketing at Airgain. “Our
Profile X6 series antenna also includes patent pending technology
that increases the isolation between existing 5GHz Wi-Fi spectrum
and the new 6GHz Wi-Fi spectrum, enabling the two bands to co-exist
in the same device with maximum throughput performance.”
Airgain’s embedded antenna family now features two designs that
support 6GHz Wi-Fi system design, including the new X6 series and
the existing Q6 series antennas:
- Profile Embedded X6 Series Antenna
(New)
- Immediate availability of 6GHz Wi-Fi
antennas, providing reference design support and support for the
development of future proof Wi-Fi 6 devices.
- Improves inter-antenna isolation
between existing 5GHz and new 6GHz Wi-Fi for higher modulation and
MIMO operation.
- Allows smaller device size.
- Provides increased flexibility in
choosing antenna locations.
- Profile Embedded Q6 Series
Antenna
- Immediate availability of embedded
antennas for new 6GHz (5.9-7.125GHz) Wi-Fi spectrum in
various configurations including dual band and support for existing
5GHz unlicensed band.
- Features Airgain’s ‘Double Infinite
Balun’ technology included in the Q Series antenna range.
- Antennas are available in different
combinations of bands based on the selected radio architecture,
such as single 6GHz band, dual band and tri-band options.
Airgain’s latest innovations, including the new Profile family
of antennas for 6GHz Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, will be on display
during Computex 2019, held May 28 through June 1, in Taipei,
Taiwan. Contact Airgain at info@airgain.com to
request a meeting to discuss our new technology offerings.
