iMAT enables designers of handsets, PC cards, USB dongles, personal navigation and other wireless electronics to offer diversity or multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) communications, even in applications where such implementation has been considered impossible due to space constraints inside mobile devices. The single-antenna solution from SkyCross eliminates the need to configure multiple antennas and reduces the number of parts required to build a device, SkyCross claimed.
iMAT enables operators to optimise network performance without any additional investment in infrastructure. iMAT supports legacy networks and is ideal for next-generation protocols such as HSxPA, WiMAX, 802.11x and LTE -- all of which require diversity or MIMO.
iMAT helps deliver better signal strength, even when the nearest tower or base unit is far away. This reduces dropped calls and enables faster data transfer for high-definition video, music and more. iMAT antennas reportedly exhibit minimal power loss, extending battery life.
"iMAT provides a new way to create a diversity or MIMO system," said Chris Morton, CEO, SkyCross. "Now any wireless device can offer advanced antenna technology that was not previously feasible for small consumer electronics. As a result, end users will realise the full potential of their wireless services and demand faster connections at an increasing rate."
iMAT antenna systems are immediately available from SkyCross for commercial application in a wide variety of wireless devices. |
