News Release 30th November 2004 First internal pentaband antenna to hit the market The innovative radio wave solutions firm Antenova has just unveiled its PENTANOVA antenna for cellular handsets, smartphones and PDA applications. The PENTANOVA covers the GSM 850, GSM 900, DCS 1800, PCS 1900 and WCDMA 2100 bands and is suitable for global (CDMA/TDMA 800 and 1900) handsets, smartphones and PDA applications. With a volume of about 4cc, this antenna is the smallest internal pentaband in the world. It offers over 50% average terminal radiation efficiency over all five bands and can be customised to suit individual customer requirements. The PENTANOVA has superb detuning characteristics thanks to the properties of Antenova’s High Dielectric Antenna (HDA) technology, and because of this, components can be placed close to the antenna and will have less interference than conventional technology. With the roll-out of 3G networks, handsets that can handle 2G, 2.5G, and 3G integrated technology are in large demand. Also with handsets decreasing in size and the functionality increasing, there is real pressure on handset designers to fit more components into an ever reducing space. The PENTANOVA can fit into all sizes of mobile phones, offering the ability to just use one component for all models (including dualband, triband and quadband models), and thus saving costs on tooling and development. “The PENTANOVA is a world-class antenna
which is already having an impact on the marketplace. We see an
increasing demand for small, discrete internal antennas that can
give high performance with worldwide coverage – the PENTANOVA
does all of these things and more”, says Greg McCray, CEO
of Antenova. End.
