Molex triple-band Wi-Fi antenna

The triple-band Wi-Fi antenna from Molex is designed to penetrate areas of interference and deliver internet connectivity to places where walls and barriers present a challenge. Offering increased power efficiency and long-range connectivity to Wi-Fi certified products, the ceramic antenna is a robust option for Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications.

The Wi-Fi antenna offers 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies for increased range and penetration in areas of interference. The 900 MHz band also results in reduced power consumption when compared with similar 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz antennas, according to the company. The compact, surface-mount antenna features a ceramic housing that enables it to withstand temperatures ranging from -40 to +125°C.

The product is suitable for a wide range of applications that demand a broad signal range. The antenna supports IP-based cloud connectivity, making it suitable for the development of IoT and M2M solutions such as connected vehicles, smart homes and smart cities. Additionally, the device’s extended range makes it a useful choice for medical, retail and agricultural applications demanding signal penetration and wide range.
