WiRELESS Molex Antennas


The global market is trending toward wireless applications. On the industrial side, global smart grid deployments are leading in M2M (machine-to-machine) wireless communication.


In consumer markets, wireless internet television and audio dominate. Many wireless devices are better served with a standard antenna rather than a customized one. Molex standard antennas deliver superior performance with less cost and risk - and shortened lead times to bring wireless products to market.


Major OEMs and ODMs around the world have chosen Molex to support a wide range of communication technologies including cellular, UMTS, WiFi, WIMAX, Bluetooth, GPS, and others. Molex technical experts work through all project phases with customers to determine cost-effective ways of designing wireless antenna solutions while ensuring quick time-to-market. Using state-of-the-art technology and a combination of the latest patented technologies, lean manufacturing techniques, custom automation and vertical integration, Molex delivers products of the highest quality, reliability and performance. In addition to the Antennas, Molex and Avnet Abacus can provide value-add to customers by offering mechanical integration of other useful components. This could take the form of mounting acoustic components, incorporating volume control buttons or adding active RF switches to the same antenna module already developed.
