SkyCross Antenna Selected for
Symbol Technologies AP 300 Access Port
MELBOURNE, Florida, January 4, 2005 - SkyCross, the Florida-based
developer of advanced wireless RF and antenna solutions, today
announced it is supplying 2.4 and 5.2 GHz antenna technology to
Symbol Technologies for use in their AP 300 Access Port. One model
of the AP 300 Access Port has all embedded antennas for simultaneous
service to 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g mobile units.
Symbol Technologies, Inc. is a worldwide leader in enterprise
mobility as well as mobile data management systems for wireless
local area networking (WLAN). The high-speed data transfer of Symbol's
products allows customers to operate in real-time, increasing efficiency
and productivity.
The integration of SkyCross' embedded antenna into the AP 300
design plays a vital role in increased network performance. Using
SkyCross' technology, Symbol has been able to enhance the data
rates with speeds of up to 54 Mbps in both 2.4 and 5.2 GHz ISM
bands. Access ports, used in conjunction with Symbol's distributed
switch architecture, are much leaner and have more features and
security than typical access points for a fraction of the cost.
"We are delighted to contribute to such a well-rounded product.
Symbol utilizes the strength of our technology to raise industry
standards," said Dr. Chris Morton, CEO of SkyCross. "We
are looking forward to working with Symbol on a wide range of new
wireless solutions." About
