Wi-Fi 6E MIMO Antenna System Serves IIoT

The Antenna Company has announced a Wi-Fi 6E MIMO antenna system designed to increase network capacity, extend range and reduce latency in enterprise and industrial IoT networks. The antenna system enables simultaneous operation in the 2.4, 5 and 6GHz frequency bands, resulting in an additional 1.2GHz of spectrum and greater than 2x increase in available channels.

Optimized for seamless integration into access points, The Antenna Company’s design supports a total of 15 antennas, including dedicated 4×4 5GHz + 4×4 6 GHz + 4×4 2.4/ GHz Wi-Fi antennas. Cross-pair Wi-Fi antenna isolation of greater than 45dB is achieved for concurrent operation in the 5GHz band.

An additional 0.9/2.GHz IoT antenna is included to enable IoT use cases, along with tri-band 2.4/5/6GHz antennas for radio spectrum management. The entire antenna system is mounted on a metal backplate to enable mechanical, thermal and RF integration with the access point.

The design also comes with an Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) option to enable Real-Time Location System (RTLS) services such as access control, indoor navigation, asset tracking and contact tracing. The UWB antennas support channels 5 and 9 for worldwide spectrum coverage. To avoid coupling and detuning between antennas, greater than 30dB of isolation is achieved between the UWB and Wi-Fi antennas.

The Antenna Company’s Wi-Fi 6E + UWB antenna system also features:

  • Compact design that enables size reduction of enterprise access-points by 20% or more, without sacrificing antenna system performance.
  • Low input impedance essential to achieve peak data rates for 80/160MHz channels;
  • Uniform radio coverage to avoid nulls and blind spots.
