MilliBox, a leader in compact benchtop mmWave anechoic chambers and antenna positioners, has introduced 2 new products at the 2025 edition of the IEEE AP-S/URSI conference in Ottawa, Canada, from July 15 to July 18, 2025. The GIM06 and MBX02K are being demonstrated live for the first time at the MilliBox booth.
GIM06 is a new addition to MilliBox's wide portfolio of antenna positioners, entirely designed to bring the best performance at the most affordable price. In essence, GIM06 will supplant the foundational GIM01 positioner. GIM06 keeps all the great features of GIM01, like passthrough wiring, direct drive motorization on the elevation axis, for example. Additionally, GIM06 improves upon GIM01, featuring a larger DUT platform measuring 16 cm in width and 5cm in depth, with a 1 kg weight capacity, and enhanced body robustness. And these improvements are offered at an even lower market price for a maximum reach for customers with budget constraints. GIM06 is seamlessly integrated into the MBX controller software, written in Python and delivered in source, like all other MilliBox positioners for maximum cross compatibility. GIM06 enters the market at a price below $10,000 US and is available for immediate purchase.
MBX02K is a new, affordable bundle that fully leverages the GIM06 price point, offering the market the most affordable complete OTA testing solution for mmWave and sub-THz antenna and radar characterization. MBX02K consists of an MBX02 4ft benchtop anechoic chamber, GIM06 best value 2-axis positioner, and the MBX software controller, which interfaces with most instrument brands on the market. The MBX02K complete turnkey solution is available for purchase and is introduced at a price below $20,000 US.
“Recently, we have demonstrated our technical leadership in mmWave and sub-THz high-end OTA systems and solutions going up to 330 GHz, as it is important to propose products at the frontier of innovation. But MilliBox as a brand was always also about making these systems affordable and performant for the largest number of engineers, and GIM06 and MBX02K are the latest testimony of our roots. We hope everyone can get a great MilliBox system with any budget they can secure,” says Jeanmarc Laurent, founder and Vice President of Milliwave Silicon Solutions Inc., the company behind MilliBox.
