Molex's off-the-shelf (OTS) Antenna Lite provides high gain and efficiency for all major cellular bands

     Molex's Out-of-the-box (OTS) 5G and LTE Antenna Lite antenna is designed for use on 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G systems and devices, providing excellent coverage and reliability with high efficiency and peak gain, making it ideal for a variety of wireless and networking applications.

     In wireless devices that use cellular networks, antennas are critical to overall performance. However, designing antennas for wireless devices is complicated and time-consuming. Typically, manufacturers start design work with the functional modules of the device and then spend a lot of time designing the antenna or allocate resources to find suppliers to build the right antenna for their final product. Molex offers an out-of-the-box external 5G/LTE cellular antenna with SMA connectors in a multi-band configuration, providing insertion capabilities.

     Meeting the design requirements for high radiation efficiency in a small size is a challenge. All LTE/5G external antenna families offer high radiation efficiency and peak gain in a compact size. Connected wireless devices in home and commercial vehicles can be subject to shock and vibration, so sturdy and reliable antennas are needed.

     Molex's rugged external 5G/LTE antenna delivers highly reliable performance in critical operating environments with long service life. The hinge joint can be rotated 90° in the vertical plane, while the SMA-J connector can be rotated 360° in the horizontal plane while providing excellent directional coverage. The system provides high gain and efficiency in all major cellular bands.
