In 2020 the FCC announced the allocation of a new frequency spectrum for Wi-Fi applications, extending the frequencies up to 7125 MHz.

FlexPIFA 6E antennas support the full Wi-Fi spectrum of 2400-2500, 4900-5925, and 5925-7125 MHz frequency bands. This makes them an ideal solution for coverage of traditional Wi-Fi frequencies with the addition of futureproofing for newly emerging Wi-Fi 6E applications.

Designed for rapid integration into space-constrained devices and housings, the flexible, adhesive-backed antennas are available with MHF1 or MHF4L connectors, providing multiple installation solutions for IoT device manufacturers.

PIFA antenna technology provides consistent, stable performance across all three Wi-Fi bands, ensuring a solid and reliable connection at all times

Features and Benefits

  • Full Coverage – Operates over all three Wi-Fi bands
  • Performance – Exceptional performance across all bands
  • Versatile – Flexible, peel-and-stick adhesive-backed antenna for a variety of space-constrained IoT devices
  • Future-Proofed – Coverage for emerging Wi-Fi 6E applications
  • Reliable – PIFA technology is easy to integrate into IoT devices and less likely to detune in proximity of metal or a human body
  • Quality – Designed and built to exacting specifications

Applications

  • Smart metering and utilities
  • Industrial IoT
  • Agricultural and rural (Farm sense and control)
  • Quick service restaurants
  • Smart lockers
  • Medical devices
