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 business showcased the antenna at Embedded World in Nuremberg in March.
The antenna is tiny, measuring 20 x 11 x 1.six mm, and is constructed to a novel style that allows it to execute effectively inside a device whilst becoming straightforward to integrate onto a tiny printed circuit board (PCB).
The new chip antenna in the business&rsquos lamiiANT antenna loved ones is named Latona (portion no. SR4C033)
Narrow-band IoT is the most current mobile broadband standard. It makes use of the 3GPP licensed network spectrum, which is safe and cost-free from interference, and provides the combined positive aspects of low energy, lengthy variety and the potential to penetrate walls and metal barriers.
&ldquoNarrow Band IoT will be excellent 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 very low and infrequent. We see these antennas becoming utilised for wise metering, agricultural technologies, creating automation and wise 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 fast and straightforward integration onto a host PCB.
Samples of Latona areavailable to order. Antenova gives complete style, testing and tuning solutions for buyers who are adding wireless capabilities to their IoT devices and other electronic merchandise.
