SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Aug. 29,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Laird announced today its newest
wideband iDAS antennas, which dramatically improve in-building
wireless connectivity. They also are the telecom industry's
thinnest, smallest Low PIM MIMO ceiling mounted wideband antenna
that meets the design needs of office and apartment buildings,
hotels, airports, and other large coverage areas.
Laird's new CFD Ultra Low Profile Multiple Input Multiple Output
(MIMO) Low Passive Intermodulation (PIM) antenna is just seven
millimeters thick, or about the thickness of a smartphone providing
an ultra-low profile antenna that provides buildings with an
inconspicuous yet high performance antenna for enhanced wireless
connectivity.
MIMO is being used increasingly in many high data rate
technologies including indoor wireless and cellular technologies to
provide improved levels of coverage and data throughput.
Essentially the CFD Ultra Low Profile MIMO Low PIM antenna employs
multiple antennas on the receiver and transmitter to mitigate the
multi-path effects that always exist to increase data throughput in
the presence of interference.
The patent-pending CFD indoor antenna improves in-building
wireless telecommunications and increases capacity delivering
consistent, reliable Internet connectivity, further enabling the
Internet of Things (IoT).
Industry experts forecast that by 2020, more than 23 billion
"things" globally will be connected to the Internet, and about 40
percent of them will be used for business, industrial, healthcare,
and other sectors for the Enterprise Internet of Things (EIoT).
Furthermore, the majority of EIoT mobile data traffic will be
generated indoors at offices, hotels, hospitals, universities,
shopping malls, and multi-tenant, multi-use buildings. The rising
demand for wireless connectivity requires high performance
in-building antennas that can be placed anywhere without being
obtrusive.
No other antenna on the market meets the technical and aesthetic
requirements better than the new CFD Ultra Low Profile Low PIM MIMO
series from Laird.
The new CFD Ultra-Low Profile MIMO Low PIM antenna provides
pattern coverage optimized for indoor requirements at 698-960 MHz,
and 1350-4000 MHz supporting LTE, AWS-3, WCS and CBRS 3.5 GHz
global frequency bands.
"Laird's technology enables the in-building wireless world to
work," said Scott Lordo, senior vice
president of Laird. "Improving indoor wireless coverage and
capacity usually requires deployment of more ceiling antennas.
"One CFD Low PIM MIMO antenna, however, does the job of two
single input single output (SISO) antennas because of their ability
to transmit and receive cellular and data signals at the same time
from a single, low-profile design all without compromising the
in-building design and aesthetics cherished by building tenants,
owners and management firms," Lordo added. "The new CFD Low PIM
MIMO Multi-port functionality means fewer antennas per floor which
lowers the initial investment and installation costs for building
owners."
The CFD Low PIM MIMO Multi-port indoor antenna delivers superior
performance, robust reliability and highly competitive market
pricing with an MSRP of $73.15 per
unit. The CFD is available and currently shipping.
