SkyCross Launches New Antenna Products Supporting WiMAX

Viera, FL -- SkyCross announced a new product line supporting WiMAX. SkyCross pioneered this technology in South Korea with antennas for WiBro, the Korean standard of WiMAX. SkyCross designed and manufactured both the first internal and the first external antennas for WiBro.

SkyCross is applying its experience with WiBro in Korea to similar WiMAX networks for last mile broadband connectivity in other parts of the world. The internal and external antennas in this product family can be used independently or together in the same device to provide better diversity gain for increased reception and broader coverage. The SkyCross antennas for WiMAX standards are applicable to a variety of mobile platforms including PC cards, notebook computers, handsets, and UMCPs (Ultra-Mobile Personal Computers), which are small tablet PCs for data on the go. SkyCross achieves this flexibility with custom engineering that accommodates the allotted antenna space and other components in these various devices.

"SkyCross continues to exhibit technology leadership with next-generation technologies," said Dr. Chris Morton, CEO of SkyCross. "We not only enable the latest devices to communicate on new networks, but also facilitate the adoption of these new services by offering superior performance in the smallest possible size."

SkyCross recently announced other product family additions, including mobile video antennas for terrestrial services such as terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) and Digital Video Broadcasting – Handheld (DVB-H).
