Both series allow engineers to integrate multiple wireless technologies into a single antenna, reducing the number of components, simplifying design, accelerating assembly, and shortening time to market.
The new range includes six antenna models in two formats: the FXP30x series of flexible PCB antennas and the PC30x series of rigid FR4 PCB antennas. Both support cellular frequencies from 600 MHz to 8000 MHz, enabling global connectivity.
The FXP30x series is based on flexible polymer technology, offering high radiation efficiency, ground plane independence, and an ultra-thin design ideal for compact devices. It includes peel-and-stick adhesive for mounting on non-metallic surfaces such as plastic or glass, allowing installation in confined spaces where rigid antennas cannot fit.
The PC30x series offers the same capabilities in a rigid format on an FR4 substrate, providing greater mechanical stability and mounting options using adhesive or plastic screws.
Each antenna includes a pre-assembled cable and I-PEX MHF I connector, with cables in different colors to facilitate integration with wireless modules.
Available Configurations
The FXP30x and PC30x series include three variants:
FXP301 / PC301: Cellular + GNSS connectivity (L1, B1I, G1, and L-Band frequencies)
FXP302 / PC302: Cellular + Wi-Fi connectivity (2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz, and 7.125 GHz)
FXP303 / PC303: Full integration of GNSS, cellular, and Wi-Fi
These antennas are distinguished by their high efficiency and gain, while maintaining a compact size. Flexible versions allow for installation on curved surfaces, while rigid versions offer robust solutions.
Applications
The new antennas are designed for multiple sectors:
Asset tracking devices
Telematics and e-mobility systems
Smart agriculture
Connected healthcare
Industrial IoT
Wearables
According to David Connolly, global director of product management at Taoglas, the growing need for multiple radios in connected devices makes it essential to optimize space, something that these antennas solve by integrating several technologies into a single component.
