Airgain collaborating to bring first IEEE
802.11ax products to launch in 2019
Airgain, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRG), a leading provider of
advanced antenna technologies used to enable high performance
wireless networking across a broad range of devices and markets,
including connected home, enterprise, automotive, and Internet of
Things (IoT), today announced it is actively engaged in the
development of IEEE 802.11ax Over-the-Air (OTA) optimized reference
designs for multiple tier 1 and tier 2 vendors of 802.11ax
chipsets. It also confirmed it is in the performance verification
phase of multiple commercial programs with leading service
providers of 802.11ax gateways that expect to be the first of its
kind to launch in 2019.
802.11ax is the next evolution in Wi-Fi standards, with the
potential for up to 40% greater data rates, up to four times
improved throughput per user in dense environments, increased
network efficiency, and extended battery life of client devices
compared to today’s 802.11ac enabled Wi-Fi.
An industry leader in OTA performance optimized embedded Wi-Fi
systems, Airgain utilizes industry standard measurement tools and a
proprietary implementation of the IEEE 802.11.2 draft recommended
practice for the evaluation and optimization of 802.11 based
Wireless systems. Airgain leveraged its extensive engineering
expertise and testing environments to design an 802.11ax optimized
antenna system that works seamlessly with the manufacturer’s
chipset and access point reference designs.
We believe Airgain’s proprietary OTA testing process has
established the company as a leader in wireless throughput testing.
In accordance with its reputation as an industry leader in
performance optimized Wi-Fi systems, Airgain has developed antenna
systems and optimized OTA test methodology specifically tailored to
enabling and verifying the full potential of 802.11ax 8x8 MU-MIMO
enabled systems.
Ricky Chair, Airgain’s Technical Marketing Director, said:
“Through working with our chipset partners, we believe our early
involvement in 802.11ax has put Airgain at the forefront of
802.11ax embedded antenna system development. We are very excited
by the potential of this new technology, and we look forward to
leveraging our 802.11ax experience to help our customers accelerate
their transitions to 802.11ax support in their next product refresh
cycles.”
Airgain will be attending Computex 2018, held June 5-9 in
Taipei, Taiwan. Airgain will be hosting meetings at the Grand Hyatt
Taipei. Contact Airgain at info@airgain.com to request a
