Laird (North Carolina) announced the industry’s first flexible PIFA antenna for Wi-Fi MIMO applications.

The FlexMIMO’s two integrated 2.4/5 GHz dual-band antenna elements are specifically designed for 802.11 MIMO applications, such as automated equipment, medical devices and Internet of Things use cases.

   •   Based on a Planar Inverted-F Antenna structure comprised of two mylar antenna elements with a foam core

   •   Layered, compact design about the size and thickness of a quarter, which reduces the overall solution footprint

   •   Operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C to support 802.11n/ac/ax applications that use MIMO or Wi-Fi Diversity

   •   Low ECC performance, enabling best in class throughput and range performance, and can be used with Laird's 60 Series of Wi-Fi + BT modules
