Linx Technologies has introduced six new antennas, in two product series, supporting both WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E applications in the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands. Both series provide exceptional performance in a compact size making them ideal for IoT applications.

The ANT-W63-MON series provides compact monopole tilt/swivel whip antennas that work with multiple ground plane configurations. Their hinged design enables the antenna to be positioned for optimum performance. The MON series is offered with an SMA plug (male pin) or an RP-SMA (female socket) connector.

The ANT-W63-WRT series are panel-mount dipole antennas, whose compact size enables low-profile mounting making them less probable to be accidentally damaged. The antennas are created with an integrated counterpoise that eradicates the necessity for additional ground plane in the product, making them excellent for applications with non-conductive or RF-transparent enclosures. The antennas are offered in various cable length and connector options, including SMA plug (male pin), RP-SMA plug (female socket), MHF1/U.FL type plug (female socket), and MHF4-type plug (female socket).

"The latest antennas from Linx offer new variations to the successful and popular WRT and MON product lines, by expanding into the ever-growing 6 GHz band," says Linx CEO, Tolga Latif. "With the continued expansion of WiFi 6 in industry, Linx customers will be better prepared to meet the growing demand for increased signal coverage and faster WiFi 6/6E devices."
