TE Connectivity introduces new Wi-Fi 6E antennas to support WLAN communications

     TE Connectivity, a global leader in innovative connectivity solutions for high-speed computing and networking applications, announced the launch of a new antenna portfolio for Wi-Fi 6E. The Wi-Fi 6E antenna products cover three frequency bands, including the newly expanded 6 GHz band. TE's antenna solutions and specialized integration technologies support the broad spectrum required for Wi-Fi 6E to enable new application development, provide customers with new services, and reduce latency for end devices and applications while increasing network speed and flexibility.

     2.4GHz and 5GHz are the most widely used Wi-Fi bands today. With the increasing number of connected devices, existing Wi-Fi bands are overwhelmed. The newly expanded 6 GHz band provides additional bandwidth and wider channels to meet daily bandwidth needs. TE's new antennas for Wi-Fi 6E applications cover three frequency bands: 2400-2483.5 MHz, 5150-5875 MHz and 5925-7125 MHz. The newly expanded 6 GHz band can accommodate an additional 14 80 MHz bands or seven 160 MHz bands, providing a broader, continuous, clean spectrum for WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) communications.

     The Wi-Fi 6E antenna combination is available for PCBS, connector PCBS, and connector FPCS, supporting multiple wireless standards. The portfolio supports cable length and connector type customization for rapid time-to-market and flexibility in system design. In addition, the TE RF Technology Center is able to create efficient Wi-Fi 6E MIMO antenna configurations and optimize throughput.

     Han Sang Cheol, Product Manager of TE's Data and Terminal Equipment Division, said: "Today, wireless networks affect all aspects of our lives, mobile connectivity is everywhere in life and work, and innovation in security applications, smart homes, smart cities, smart factories, medical and health devices, and various emerging iot devices cannot be separated from wireless network technology. TE antenna design and integration capabilities help customers achieve optimal wireless network performance and high throughput. "The addition of spectrum and greater channel bandwidth to Wi-Fi 6E reduces congestion, increases transmission speeds and reduces latency, helping to develop next-generation applications and enhance the user experience."
