Airgain will provide high performance embedded
antenna system for Askey’s 802.11ac Wave 2 router
Airgain, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRG), a global leader in wireless
connectivity platforms, today announced it has been chosen by Askey
Computer Corporation, a leading provider of wireless communication
devices, to provide embedded antenna technology for Askey’s next
generation RT4230W 802.11ac dual-band router. The new router
incorporates IEEE 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi support, providing maximum
home coverage and gigabit throughput speeds for the end users of a
major North American cable broadband supplier.
Askey’s RT4230W router utilizes an advanced embedded antenna
solution, supporting dual band, 4x4 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi to
incorporate the latest 802.11ac Wave 2 technology. Wave 2 Wi-Fi
provides nearly double the bandwidth of Wave 1, up to 2.3Gbps, and
supports multiuser Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MU-MiMo).
Airgain’s antenna design allows the RT4230W router to achieve
powerful throughput and coverage while maintaining a small and
modern form factor.
“After evaluating several antenna options and suppliers, we
selected Airgain’s premium antenna solution because optimal
performance was a key requirement,” said Eric Lui, Askey’s Senior
VP of R&D. “Demand for superior connectivity has never been
higher, and it holds the key to ensuring the latest innovations for
smart homes and cities become a reality. We have high expectations
for the RT4230W and Airgain was able to achieve the specifications
and metrics we set. We look forward to Airgain’s contributions to
help Askey continue to develop world class product solutions.”
Jacob Suen, Senior VP, Worldwide Sales at Airgain said: “Our
engineering team worked to provide an optimal design and
integration and test support to help identify and overcome any
technical challenges. Collaboration on the design effort with Askey
resulted in best-in-class performance, and we are excited to see
our advanced antenna technologies incorporated into Askey’s newest
Wave 2 router. We are proud to work with Askey to ensure their
networking products can perform as intended, and help their
customers meet today’s raised expectations.”
This collaboration is another example of Airgain’s success
through providing technology that delivers high performance
solutions for products that rely on powerful connectivity. Airgain
engineers and design specialists continue to work closely with
major carriers, chipset suppliers, OEMs, and ODMs, ensuring that
antenna design is closely integrated with complete product
solutions, and high performance connectivity is delivered
regardless of the environment. Smart homes, smart cities, smart
buildings, and industrial IoT applications are all empowered by
antenna design which ensures functionality as intended.
