Airgain Inc.’s MaxBeam75 Smart Antenna
Triples Signal Strength for Triple Play
Wi-Fi Performance
Carlsbad, Calif.; October 27, 2006
– To improve in-home wireless
connectivity in the next generation of
residential Wi-fi gateways, device
manufacturers are turning to a new
switched-beam, smart antenna technology
from Airgain Inc., a pioneer in
innovative embedded antenna designs and
software to improve wireless
connectivity.
Airgain’s
MaxBeam75 antenna design with patented
SmartGain™ beam-switching technology is
an internal smart antenna that triples
the signal strength and doubles the
coverage over external omni-directional
antennas. Until now, such dipole
antennas have been the industry
standard, broadcasting their signals
constantly in all directions, wasting
energy, congesting the unlicensed
spectrum and being susceptible to
interference from such everyday sources
as microwave ovens, cordless phones and
neighboring Wi-fi networks.
Airgain’s
MaxBeam75 multi-element antenna with
SmartGain software focuses radio energy
into a beam, rapidly steers it 360
degrees, and directs connectivity to
those clients that need it, even
directing the signal around obstacles
for optimal connectivity in multipath
environments. The result is better range
and higher throughput, plus fewer
consumer frustrations resulting from
interrupted or poor connectivity.
Siemens
Home and Office Communication Devices
LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Siemens AG, recently selected the
Airgain MaxBeam75 for its Gigaset® SE567
and SE568 residential ADSL2+ wireless
gateways.
“Reliable
wireless connectivity in every room is
essential for our customers’
next-generation wireless gateways if
they are going to deliver voice, video
and data seamlessly and to multiple
client devices in various locations
around the home,” says Airgain President
and CEO Pertti Visuri, Ph.D. “For this
reason, broadband Internet service
providers and device manufacturers are
using our technology in a new generation
of Wi-fi equipment that won’t let the
user down.”
