Antenova announces nine-band LTE mobile broadband antenna

UK integrated antenna and RF modules vendor Antenova has announced the new DATANOVA 4G nine-band antenna with LTE and GPS for the new generation of lightweight notebooks and netbooks.

DATANOVA 4G is a custom mobile broadband antenna that covers LTE (bands 4, 7, 13 and 17), 3G, CDMA/GSM, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, UWB and GPS. Like the other antennas in the DATANOVA range, it can cover all or as many of the bands as required, and provides a choice of wireless broadband connectivity options. The antennas eliminate the need for exposed or unsightly external antennas, and are provided in small volume, low profile form factors – down to the width of PCB, 0.8mm, making them particularly suitable for use in ultra thin, lightweight notebooks and netbooks, including the Dell Adamo XPS, which is the world's thinnest notebook at only 9.99mm in height/thickness.
