SAN DIEGO, March 26, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Ethertronics, a leading provider of standard and customized embedded antenna solutions for wideband and multi-band wireless devices, today announced that it has shipped more than 50 million of its embedded antennas. The company continues to gain market share with its patented Isolated Magnetic Dipole(tm) (IMD) antennas as an increasing number of device developers and manufacturers demand high-quality antenna designs to support expanded device functionality and overall performance, while form factors continue to slim down.
"Hitting the 50 million milestone is a testament to the value that we are bringing to manufacturers with our IMD technology and the growing industry demand for high-performing antennas," said Jeffrey Crosby, President and CEO of Ethertronics. "As manufacturers continue to shrink the sizes of their new devices while expanding their overall functionality with features such as Bluetooth, camera phones, MP3 players, GPS and more, the antennas that they integrate into these handsets are of even more importance. As such, the constraints put on the antennas are even more challenging as they need to perform at the highest of levels. In addition, device developers need to be reassured that the antennas they are using for these cutting-edge devices are coming from a source like Ethertronics that can handle large volumes while continuing to provide high-performing, high-caliber products."
Ethertronics' antennas have been designed into several global manufacturers' handsets, including Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and Symbol, as well as an innovative GPS watch from Casio and Bluetooth modules for HP notebook computers
Ethertronics continues to gain traction in the marketplace with its full line of antenna products, as well as with its innovative IMD antennas, allowing manufacturers to integrate an increasing number of rich feature sets into their devices and continuing to shrink the size of mobile handsets and other mobile devices. The company's patented IMD technology delivers on the key needs of today's wireless devices. It has been designed to confine the current flow on the antenna element and optimize its isolation to deliver higher performance in a slimmer, more compact form factor with minimal SAR emissions. The company's IMD technology also enables RF engineers to tune both the antenna and antenna feed-line independent of each other, allowing for smaller size, flexibility in design implementation, shortened design cycle and higher overall performance.
