Antenova Ltd, has expanded its design and development facility in Taipei’s Technology quarter Nei Hu District, Taiwan. This is a direct response to the increase in demand from customers for antennas for M2M and IoT applications.
Antenova’s engineering resources cover the USA, Europe and Asia, with a specialist RF team in Taipei leading the company’s antenna design and development operations. The company’s RF engineers also provide support to Antenova’s customers, assisting them by providing antenna integration and matching services throughout the entire design process. This work has increased since 2015 when Antenova introduced three new families of antennas manufactured from new materials.
The new product families are: lamiiANT SMD antennas for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, ZigBee, Cellular and GNSS, manufactured from dielectric constant laminate substrates, ceriiANT ceramic antennas scaled down for small connected devices, and flexiiANT, FPC (flexible printed circuit) antennas which can be folded and inserted within an electronic device.
Antenova provides architecture and Gerber reviews, passive and active testing, OTA (Over the Air) testing and SAR, which are all extremely important, especially if a customer’s product requires network approval. These new families of antennas are being used in M2M and IoT applications such as healthcare, retail, smart metering, smart homes, wearable technology and automotive – all of which are using increasing numbers of wireless and remote controlled devices.
