Ethertronics Reaches 25-Million Shipment Mark for Its Unique Isolated Magnetic Dipole™ Antennas
Ethertronics Milestone Marks Ability to Meet Wireless Device Manufacturers’ Needs for High-Performance Antenna Solutions, Accommodating Newer Slimmer Form Factors
Ethertronics, a leading provider of embedded antenna solutions for wideband and multi-band wireless devices, today announced that it has shipped more than 25 million of its innovative Isolated Magnetic Dipole™ (IMD) antennas in 2006. This significant milestone validates Ethertronics’ ability to satisfy both wireless device manufacturers’ specifications and volume production requirements for high-performance antenna solutions, which enable handset feature sets and functionality to expand while form factors continue to slim down.
“Surpassing this 25-million mark highlights the superior performance and multiple antenna integration capabilities demonstrated by our embedded IMD antennas, as well as Ethertronics’ ability to carve out a leadership position in this competitive marketplace with our unique IMD technology which augments our entire range of antenna products,” said Jeffrey Crosby, President and CEO of Ethertronics. “Since we have developed antennas that exceed OEM manufacturer and wireless carrier specifications, more and more handset developers are turning to Ethertronics to help them through the entire design process. We will continue to introduce high-performance antennas which strengthen our position as a leading provider of internal antennas.”
Ethertronics’ antennas have been designed into several global manufacturers’ handsets, including Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and Symbol, as well as an innovative GPS watch from Casio and Bluetooth modules for HP notebook computers.
Leveraging its innovative Isolated Magnetic Dipole™ (IMD) technology, Ethertronics continues to expand its market presence with a full lineup of embedded antenna products which allow manufacturers to integrate an ever-expanding feature set into their devices while continuing to shrink the overall size of mobile handsets and other mobile devices. The company’s patented IMD technology delivers on the key needs of today’s wireless devices. IMD has been designed to confine the current flow on the antenna element and optimize its isolation to deliver higher performance in a slimmer, more compact form factor with minimal SAR emissions. The company’s IMD technology also enables RF engineers to tune both the antenna and antenna feed-line independent of each other, allowing for smaller size, greater flexibility in design implementation, shorter design cycles and higher overall performance.
