Waterlooville, UK, March 20, 2025 – Antenova Ltd, UK headquarters, launches Inpai – an SMD cellular antenna designed for NB-IoT and CATM on 4G/LTE networks.
The Inpai antenna with a slightly smaller footprint than the popular Lucida antenna, operates on all LTE and mobile bands. The new addition provides exceptional performance in a compact design, measuring 35mm x 8mm x 3.3mm with a clearance of 35mm x 13mm. Optimal performance requires the antenna to be positioned along the short end of a 105mm x 40mm size PCB. The Inpai antenna performs efficiently on all cellular networks and qualifies for AT&T’s standardized Small Form Factor (<107mm) requirements for certification in North America.
Multi-band efficiency is impressive and assists with positive results of PTCRB certification testing.
| 698-960MHz | 48.8% | 2300-2400MHz | 68.7% |
| 1710-2170MHz | 61.5% | 2500-2690MHz | 55% |
Inpai is best suited for NB-IoT and CATM on 4G/LTE networks as CATM and NB-IoT offer low data rates and a large coverage area. This cellular antenna is compatible with several additional wireless technologies that can handle large amounts of data, broader cover, and increase download speed, such as LTE, GSM, CDMA, DCS, PCS, WCDMA, UMTS, HSPDA, GPRS, EDGE, IMT.
Antenova simplifies the design cycle process by the provided reference design which includes a matching network circuit. Inpai (P/N SR4L099) is an excellent choice for the most used 4G antenna applications including telematics, cellular WiFi hotspots, IoT (Internet of Things), M2M (Machine to Machine), drone communications, POS (Point of Sale) terminals.
Antenova’s engineering and design team continue their philosophy of Design for Integration (DFI) where the design approach is to create an antenna that a product designer can place on a PCB and conveniently integrate with the other circuits, rather than designing a product to fit around the antenna. The Inpai antenna is the latest in Antenova’s family of lamiiANT antennas manufactured from high-grade dielectric constant laminate substrates. Inpai (P/N SR4L099) wireless antenna and its evaluation board (PN SR4L099-EVB) are available to order from authorized distributors – https://www.antenova.com/distributors/.
