Antenna Company is now shipping its Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) compatible MIMO antenna system created to increase network capacity, extend range and decrease latency in enterprise networks. The system comprises of 10 antennas in total, supporting a 4x4 5GHz plus 4x4 2.4/5GHz Wi-Fi configuration. A further 2.4GHz IoT/BLE (Bluetooth low-energy) antenna is included to allow IoT use cases such as location tracking, along with a dedicated 2.4GHz/5GHz antenna for radio spectrum management.
Wi-Fi 6 allows several new features created to support bandwidth intensive usage cases in dense Wi-Fi deployments. The system supports concurrent operation of dual 5GHz radios, while achieving cross-pair antenna isolation of greater than 40dB. In the dual-radio mode, industry-leading over-the-air speeds of up to 5.2Gbps can be reached.
“Antenna Company has optimised the performance of the antenna system to meet the demanding requirements of enterprise-class products”, said company CEO, David Favreau. “With our scalable design, OEMs can deploy enterprise access-points that offer 4x improvement over previous generation access-points.”
The new system is part of a family of commercially available solutions that also comprises a 4x4 2.4/5GHz option for small-to-mid size enterprise deployments.
