Leveraging their complementing capabilities, Lynwave partners with Adant to co-develop an economical Wi-Fi 6 smart antenna. We provided jointly low-cost, high-speed and high-reliability Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) smart antenna solution – SMART-2 for networking equipment and Wi-Fi device suppliers.
The use of smart antenna technology is an effective way to reduce interference and boost system capacity. It could also increase data rate and optimize link quality of wireless communication devices. However, despite years of development, Wi-Fi routers today still largely use traditional static antennas. As the market lacks smart antenna solutions that are both technologically and economically feasible.
According to Lynwave general manager Dallas Wu, smart antennas dynamically controlling of the radiation pattern have the great advantage of enabling signals to get around indoor/outdoor wireless blockages. It could be steering clear of noise to avoid interference and ultimately maintaining exceptionally stable throughput. “System integrator are all well aware of smart antennas’ advantage but just do not have access to working solutions at reasonable cost.
The tremendous amount of R&D resources and time required to properly address all the complex implications involved with making a smart antenna system (SAS) to perfectly work and seamlessly integrate with the existing Wi-Fi routers and chip-sets. That is the reason of very few companies have been able so far of developing solutions and the few that were actually proposed were overly expensive to be even considered by most system integrator.
“We have been selling Smart Antenna solutions for over five years to many networking equipment vendors worldwide. So far we have primarily addressed the needs of enterprise networking industry (B2B); We are making our technology and know-how available to retail equipment vendors and telecom operators at an attractive price compared to static antenna solutions with the introduction of our patented smart-2 technology, ” said Adant’s CEO, Mr. Daniele Piazza.
Two market leaders join forces to reduce costs
Lynwave has established strong R&D antenna hardware development capabilities and is specialized in using advanced computer simulation to determine the optimal antenna placement and the most suitable type of antenna for a specific application. With strong presence on the Taiwan market for more than a decade, Lynwave has developed a solid technical and sales workforce serving a large client base. Lynwave could provide comprehensive after-sales support to local Customers. Taiwan-based system integrator could rely with confidence on Lynwave’ s support to successfully design-in sMART-2 SAS into their products.
Adant has served the wireless equipment market for over five years providing advanced solutions and products. Customer base included WiFi routers and mesh nodes, RFid integrators and IoT customers. With dozens of patents covering different types of antenna designs as well as many different smart antenna selection algorithms, Adant is recognized as THE Smart Antenna leader.
By joining forces, these two leading Companies are now able to offer the best performing and cost-effective smart antenna solution thus filling a long-existing market gap.
