Web of Issues (IoT) specialist Taoglas has introduced a Wi-Fi antenna with a distinction: it is designed to piggyback onto an RJ45 socket as a space-saving measure in space-constrained units.
“The FXM100 Wi-Fi antenna is a superb instance of our give attention to innovation and fixing robust buyer challenges, like designing antennas for steel surfaces and awkward layouts,” claims Taoglas chief working officer Olivier Robin of the corporate’s newest antenna design. “Our antennas give prospects higher efficiency with extra flexibility, making it simpler so as to add wi-fi expertise to their units.”

Whereas probably the most space-constrained machine designs are inclined to go for compact surface-mount chip or PCB antennas, there’s usually an enormous enhance to sign power available with even the smallest of devoted antennas — not least as a result of they are often positioned closed to the perimeters of circumstances and away from sources of noise. The Taoglas FXM100 is designed for tasks combining wired and wi-fi connectivity, and saves house by piggybacking onto an RJ45 socket — as used for wired Ethernet, amongst different issues.
The omnidirectional dipole antenna is tuned, the corporate says, for two.4GHz, 5.8GHz, and seven.1GHz operation, and whereas it is being positioned as a Wi-Fi antenna can also be appropriate for Bluetooth radios. Set up is easy: peel and stick the froth pad on the rear onto the RJ45 socket and pop the pigtail connector — obtainable in configurable lengths — onto the radio.
Taoglas is displaying the FXM100 off at Embedded World North America this week, with events invited to contact the corporate for pricing and availability; extra data is out there on the corporate’s web site.
