SkyCross has announced a new line of WiFi antenna solutions. The new WiFi solutions enable original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs) to achieve a full range of solutions for their needs, including custom high-performance solutions; value offerings, where performance and low cost are needed; and efficiency solutions, where cost is minimized for the most price competitive environments and spatially-constrained platforms. OEMs and ODMs include SkyCross WiFi antennas in products ranging from wireless routers, set top boxes, gaming platforms, televisions, notebooks, tablets, hotspots, smartphones to other WiFi-enabled products.
The new 802.11ac antennas for high performance solutions achieve among the fastest data rates available when paired with leading chipsets. In addition to solutions for traditional MIMO configurations, SkyCross announces the introduction of 8x8 solutions that further augment data rates and enhance throughput.
For new value offerings SkyCross announces its cornerstone products, the SkyCross TiFighter2.4 and TiFighter5, which address both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The TiFighter antennas provide a low-cost solution for 802.11ac antennas using an innovative architecture and design for integrated design needs. Both solutions are available for evaluation as part of the SkyCross TiFighter Evaluation Kit.
Skycross has used its patented iMAT technology enabling their WiFi antennas to be placed in close proximity to one another. This eliminates the spatial separation, lowering antenna cost as well as overall system cost by reducing enclosure size for higher-order MIMO, including 3x3, 4x4, as well as 8x8 cost and system size savings.
In addition to product releases, SkyCross also announced the expansion of its North American distribution network with two organizations possessing significant WiFi experience and strong relationships with leading WiFi product manufacturers. Joining SkyCross’s established network of representatives are Norcomp serving Northern California and Nevada, and Norcomp SC serving Southern California.
