NEW PRODUCTS & SERVICES ANTENNAS rics, measurement methodologies, and test conditions to enable predicting the relative performance of devices and networks at the component and application level. This well defined set of steps allows the company to produce the optimal antenna system design for any device, leading to better wireless performance for devices with Airgain inside. Airgain’s embedded antennas can also be found in several Belkin 802.11n wireless routers, including the N150, N300, N600 and N900 series products. “With the rapid proliferation of sophisticated Wi-Fi devices and increased bandwidth necessity, we understand the need to continually innovate and advance antenna technology,” said Charles Myers, Airgain’s president and CEO. “We pride ourselves on being an antenna vendor in the market that designs throughput focused antenna solutions, and we are excited to be working with Belkin to deliver maximum performance antenna solutions for its market-leading home networking products.” - See Airgain’s Presentation at Mobile Antenna Systems 2012 Airgain Embedded Antennas Selected for Belkin’s First 802.11ac Wi-Fi Dual-Band AC+ Gigabit Routers Airgain, Inc.’s embedded antennas are shipping in the next generation Belkin AC1000 DB and AC1200 DB Wi-Fi DualBand AC+ Gigabit Routers. Belkin’s selection underscores Airgain’s engineering integration and services approach to providing antenna solutions for WLAN technologies. “New wireless networking products require an optimized antenna system to take advantage of the range and performance benefits that 802.11ac technology provides,” said Mike Chen, senior director of Networking at Belkin. “This provides improved speed and coverage over previous generation 802.11n devices, and enhances the online streaming experience for videos, movies and music throughout the home. Leveraging Airgain’s embedded antenna technology and integration approach, our 802.11ac router will allow consumers to enjoy the full capabilities of this technology.” Airgain has developed a proprietary set of performance met- Powerwave Technologies, Inc. has released a series of multiband and wideband antennas, available to service providers throughout Europe and North America. The series of multiband solutions include five families of antennas that help operators gain granular control. Quadruple Broadband Antenna Family 65°: Supports 790 to 960 MHz, two arrays 1,710 to 2,170 MHz and 2.5 to 2.69 GHz systems for European markets. The three antennas in this family allow network operators to reuse existing site infrastructure by exchanging and upgrading existing dual or tri band antennas, without compromising network performance. Triple Broadband Antenna Family 65°: Supports 709 to 960 MHz, 1,710 to 2,170 MHz and 2.5 to 2.69 GHz systems for European markets. The three antennas in this family enable operators to maintain the same outer dimensions as already deployed multiband antennas, decreasing the variable downtilt capability and reducing the CAPEX spending for 2,600 MHx upgrades. Dual Broadband Antenna Family 65°: Combines 1,710 to 2,170 MHz and 2.5 to 2.69 GHz systems for European markets. This family enables mechanical width reduction down to 9 inches, allowing operators to reuse existing site infrastructure without compromising current network coverage. Dual Broadband Antenna Family 45°: Combines 698 to 894 MHz Powerwave Technologies Launches New Multiband and Wideband Antennas 12 ANTENNA SYSTEMS & TECHNOLOGY FALL 2012 WWW.ANTENNASONLINE.COM http://www.infowebcom.com/newsletters_form.php http://www.infowebcom.com/newsletters_form.php http://WWW.ANTENNASONLINE.COM
