Ethertronics Unveils Multi-Band Embedded Antenna For Wireless LAN Applications At 802.11 Planet Conference

SAN DIEGO, CA (ots)

CEO Bruce Gray Scheduled To Speak On Optimizing Wireless LAN Coverage
Ethertronics, a developer and manufacturer
of high performance embedded antennas for personal and industrial
wireless devices, unveiled its newest embedded antenna solution for
low profile, multi-band wireless local area networking (WLAN)
products at this week's 802.11 Planet Conference in Philadelphia, PA.
The company's GY embedded antenna for WLAN devices delivers one of
the industry's first single solutions for seamless integration from
802.11b to 802.11a networks, irrespective of application.
Designed for short-range wireless computing networks such as
802.11 a/b, HomeRF, Hyper LAN/2 and WiFi, the new GY embedded antenna
is ideally suited for use inside WLAN peripherals such as PC cards,
mini-PCI cards, portable digital assistants (PDAs), USB-attach and
"dongle" devices. A single GY antenna covers 2.400-2.485 GHz,
5.150-5.350 GHz and 5.725?5.825 GHz ISM band applications used in
U.S., European and other industry standards. Dual-band capability
allows OEMs to migrate their existing customer base from 802.11b to
802.11a with fewer product SKUs to manage, and allows end customers
to upgrade to the faster 802.11a standard without buying new
hardware. In addition, the GY model offers 30% higher performance, up
to twice the range and greater isolation properties compared to
competing embedded antenna solutions.
Ethertronics' CEO, Bruce Gray, has been invited to present an
802.11 Planet session on "Optimizing WLAN Coverage with High
Performance Antennas" on Tuesday, June 11, 2002 at 1:30-2:30pm in
Room 201A. "Ethertronics foresees a wireless future in which the
average consumer will use WLANs and wireless personal area networks
(WPANs) to conduct the most routine computing tasks such as checking
email, printing files and synchronizing data across multiple
devices," said Bruce Gray. "In order to achieve the stylistic and
performance needs of these mobile consumers, OEM product designers
need to develop small, power-saving, networked devices that deliver
maximum link integrity and reliability even in noisy, multi-path
environments. Our patented embedded antennas offer the highest
performance and signal strength in the smallest footprint."
Key Integration Advantages
The GY embedded antenna offers OEM product designers flexible and
cost-saving integration advantages:
  • Multi-band Capability - the GY model allows OEM product designers to integrate a single embedded antenna for use across several WLAN frequency bands, rather than combining multiple antennas, which would severely add to PCB space requirements and cost.
  • Spatial Diversity - due to the GY's high isolation properties, the antenna elements can be placed in close proximity with reduced risk of coupling from one to another. This extends network range, enhances mobility and improves signal quality.
  • Integration Flexibility - with its low profile (3 mm above the PCB) and high isolation, other RF components can be mounted in close proximity to the GY. This offers exceptional space-saving advantages inside a tight product enclosure, often without the need for additional matching components.
All of Ethertronics' products feature proprietary and patented
antenna "shaping technology" which controls and re-directs the
near-field electromagnetic pattern of the antenna. This "shaping
technology" allows for optimal antenna performance by improving
signal strength and data quality inside buildings, in noisy
environments and in fringe network coverage areas. For product and
