Taoglas announced it is first to market with the industry’s broadest range of external combination antennas that support all cellular carrier bands. These include the 600MHz spectrum being used by T-Mobile to launch nationwide 5G and NB-IoT services in the United States. Antennas within Taoglas’ popular Guardian, Synergy and Apex antenna ranges now support 600MHz without changes to their product enclosures or footprint, making them an ideal fit for routers, modems and other devices that serve applications in retail, enterprise backup for business continuity, and public safety, including FirstNet applications.

T-Mobile is aggressively deploying in the 600MHz spectrum, utilizing the low-band spectrum to roll out its 5G and NB-IoT networks across the U.S. in lower frequencies. With 600MHz possessing longer wavelengths than traditional cellular services, it allows signals to travel further with fewer antennas required, and it also has much more effective building penetration. However, antennas need to be larger to accommodate frequencies with longer wavelengths and also the much wider bandwidth requirements of full coverage LTE and 5G. The expertise and experience of Taoglas’ engineering team with both embedded and external wideband antennas has allowed it to add 600MHz capabilities to its combination antennas within the same product enclosure
