Airgain Honored for Most Innovative
Communications Technology & Hardware
Product
Carlsbad, Calif.; December 19, 2006
– At the 19th Annual CONNECT Most
Innovative Product awards in La Jolla on
Dec. 15, Airgain CEO Pertti Visuri,
Ph.D. accepted the award for most
innovative communications product as
selected by a distinguished panel of
judges representing San Diego’s
technology and business leaders.
A record
23 nominations were received in this
highly competitive category, which
Airgain won for its MaxBeam75 smart
antenna. The Airgain MaxBeam75 is a
compact smart antenna for residential
wireless routers, gateways and access
points. Multiple beam-forming antenna
elements focus radio energy while
Airgain’s revolutionary switched-beam
technology rapidly steers the beam,
resulting in triple the signal strength,
double the coverage, better throughput,
greater connection availability and
reduced interference over conventional
dipole antennas. The MaxBeam75
constantly adjusts the beam to its
environment, differentiating between
client devices, distances, obstacles and
interference to optimize the connection
for each networked client. Its unique,
low-cost design enables it to be
embedded in Wi-Fi devices eliminating
external antennas while supporting
voice, video and data delivery.
The
CONNECT MIP Awards honor the vision,
hard work, and perseverance that
transform ideas and technologies into
products. Now in its 19th year, these
awards continue the tradition of
showcasing local companies with
cutting-edge high technology. From early
stage biotechnology companies to the
first products generated by the region’s
telecommunications boom, the awards
program has been an indicator of the
industries and technologies that have
stimulated the San Diego economy.
