SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Nov. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The mobile
industry's thinnest, smallest ceiling or wall-mounted wideband
antenna that is more efficient and meets the design needs of office
and apartment buildings, hotels, airports, and other large coverage
areas, was announced today by global technology leader Laird (LRD:
London).
Laird's new CFS Low Passive Intermodulation (PIM) Ultra-Low
profile antennas – just seven millimeters thick, or about half the
thickness of a smartphone – improve in-building wireless
telecommunications and deliver consistent, reliable Internet
connectivity, further enabling the Internet of Things (IoT).
Because they are so thin and require eight to 40 percent less
wall or ceiling space, they are less visible on walls or ceiling
panels and can even be hidden behind wall pictures.
This patent-pending innovation radiates an indoor signal up to
20 percent more efficiently than other in-building Distributed
Antenna System (DAS) antennas on the market today.
Industry experts forecast that by 2020, more than 23 billion
"things" globally will be connected to the Internet, and about 40
percent of them will be used for business, industrial, healthcare,
and other sectors for the Enterprise Internet of Things (EIoT).
Furthermore, the majority of EIoT mobile data traffic will be
generated indoors at offices, hotels, hospitals, universities,
shopping malls, and multi-tenant, multi-use buildings.
The new CFS Series Low PIM Ultra-Low Profile antennas provide
pattern coverage optimized for indoor requirements at 600-960 MHz,
and 1690-3800 MHz supporting global GSM, DCS, UMTS, AWS-3, and
3G/4G-LTE/WiMAX frequency bands.
"Laird's technology enables the wireless world to work," said
Jack Cowper, Laird's Senior Vice
President of Infrastructure Antenna Systems. "Improving indoor
wireless coverage and capacity usually requires the installation of
more ceiling antennas resulting in higher costs, and at the expense
of the design and aesthetics cherished by building owners and
management firms. Our new CFS antennas are smaller, more
aesthetically pleasing, and deliver next-gen performance for
high-quality, in-building connectivity."
Cowper added that "these new, ultra-thin antennas reflect
Laird's ongoing commitment to deliver market-driven solutions that
resolve critical customer needs."
