Antenova&rsquos new NB-IoT antenna &ldquoLatona.&rdquo
Antenova Ltd., manufacturer of antennas and RF antenna modules for machine-to-machine and the Internet of Things (IoT), has created a new antenna for the new narrow-band IoT (NB-IoT) standard that was ratified in 2016. The firm showcased the antenna at Embedded World in Nuremberg in March.
The antenna is modest, measuring 20 x 11 x 1.six mm, and is constructed to a novel style that allows it to execute properly inside a device although becoming simple to integrate onto a modest printed circuit board (PCB).
The new chip antenna in the firm&rsquos lamiiANT antenna loved ones is named Latona (component no. SR4C033)
Narrow-band IoT is the most current mobile broadband standard. It utilizes the 3GPP licensed network spectrum, which is safe and totally free from interference, and delivers the combined positive aspects of low energy, lengthy variety and the capability to penetrate walls and metal barriers.
&ldquoNarrow Band IoT will be very good for connecting devices in places exactly where the signal distance is in kilometers and for places in basements and underground.&rdquo explains Antenova&rsquos CEO, Colin Newman. &ldquoIt could be the enabler for some of the IoT applications that are emerging that are not suited to the established telecoms networks, exactly where the information throughput is fairly low and infrequent. We see these antennas becoming employed for intelligent metering, agricultural technologies, developing automation and intelligent city applications with lighting, waste bins and parking spaces.&rdquo
As with all of Antenova&rsquos embedded antennas, the NB-IoT antennas are developed for swift and simple integration onto a host PCB.
Samples of Latona areavailable to order. Antenova offers complete style, testing and tuning solutions for clients who are adding wireless capabilities to their IoT devices and other electronic goods.
