June 22, 2015 — 2.4 GHz is a major part of our lives. We see it everywhere: in our homes, offices, schools, vehicles,
and we see it globally. In response to this, Linx Technologies announces the addition of 2.4 GHz to its already
popular permanent-mount PML
Series half-wave dipole antennas. This new design adds yet more options for antenna design in the 2.4 GHz ISM
band.
With multiple standards operating at 2.4 GHz, such as Bluetooth, Thread, Wi-Fi, ZigBee and others, the vast growth
of the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving the added need for more options to antenna design. Where permanent mount
design is needed, the PML Series half-wave whip antenna has outstanding performance in a rugged and cost-effective
package. Featuring a flexible shaft that protects the antenna from shock and harsh weather conditions, the antenna
is attached by placing its base through a ¼" (6.35 mm) hole in the product and securing it with a nut or by threading
it into a PEM-style insert.
Now also available with an optional 1.32 mm coax cable terminated with a U.FL / MHF compatible connector, this
increase of product line options saves the labor of adding a connector while using one that is small enough to fit
through the antenna's mounting hole. Custom lengths and terminations are available by special order.
2.4 GHz for Global Applications
The 2.4 GHz frequency band is universally accepted worldwide and is shared among many applications and standards:
IEEE 802.15.4, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 / Wi-Fi, ZigBee, Thread and other personal area networks. All of the devices
require some kind of effective antenna design, and this design helps in many IoT applications where a permanent
mount, high-performance 1/2-wave antenna is needed.
Wireless products working in the 2.4 GHz band are a part of our lives everywhere: Internet of Things (IoT) applications,
home and commercial automation are just a few. These IoT applications will only increase their global presence and
will do so at a dramatic rate. By expanding our PML Series antennas into this 2.4 GHz band, Linx is able to offer
a larger portfolio of antennas to give our customers added design flexibility. – Kris Lafko, VP of Marketing and
