TE’s broad family of standard antennas can be integrated into many of today’s common applications from mobile and smart phones to gaming devices, wireless alarm and security systems to smart grid applications. These advanced TE antennas can be directly embedded into a device. This, coupled with their small size and lightweight design, provides a low-cost alternative to the conventional whip antenna. In addition, these standard antennas are also intended to accommodate numerous sets of frequency bands for operation on any regional or global network.
