SkyCross Launches New Antenna Products Supporting WiMAX
VIERA, Florida, November 8, 2006 – SkyCross, a leading developer and manufacturer of
advanced wireless antenna solutions, today announced a new product line supporting WiMAX.
SkyCross pioneered this technology in South Korea with antennas for WiBro, the Korean
standard of WiMAX. SkyCross designed and manufactured both the first internal and the
first external antennas for WiBro.
SkyCross is applying its experience with WiBro in Korea to similar WiMAX networks for last
mile broadband connectivity in other parts of the world. The internal and external antennas
in this product family can be used independently or together in the same device to provide
better diversity gain for increased reception and broader coverage. The SkyCross antennas
for WiMAX standards are applicable to a variety of mobile platforms including PC cards,
notebook computers, handsets, and UMCPs (Ultra-Mobile Personal Computers), which are small
tablet PCs for data on the go. SkyCross achieves this flexibility with custom engineering
that accommodates the allotted antenna space and other components in these various devices.
The results are high-performance antennas that meet the demands of manufacturers and users.
“SkyCross continues to exhibit technology leadership with next-generation technologies,”
said Dr. Chris Morton, CEO of SkyCross. “We not only enable the latest devices to communicate
on new networks, but also facilitate the adoption of these new services by offering superior performance
in the smallest possible size.”
SkyCross recently announced other next-generation product family additions, including mobile video
antennas for terrestrial services such as terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) and
Digital Video Broadcasting – Handheld (DVB-H).
