Laird has introduced a new small, thin and efficient ceiling mounted wideband antenna designed to meet the needs of office and apartment buildings, hotels, airports, and other large coverage areas. The CFSA series Low PIM Ultra-Low Profile antenna provides pattern coverage optimized for indoor requirements at 698-960 MHz, and 1350-4000 MHz supporting global GSM, DCS, UMTS, AWS-3, and 3G/4G-LTE/WiMAX frequency bands.
The antenna is just seven millimeters thick, or about the thickness of a smartphone providing an ultra-low profile antenna that provides buildings with an inconspicuous yet high performance antenna for enhanced wireless connectivity. The patent-pending ceiling mount antenna radiates an indoor signal up to 20 percent more efficiently than other in-building Distributed Antenna System (DAS) antennas on the market today, improving in-building wireless telecommunications and delivering consistent, reliable Internet connectivity, further enabling the Internet of Things (IoT).
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.
This rising demand for wireless connectivity requires in-building antennas that can be placed anywhere without being obtrusive. The CFSA Antenna series is ideal for this type of deployment. Click here to learn more.
