Quectel Wireless Solution has announced the launch of a range of new antennas to expand its global offering for customers. These additions include the YECT005W1A and YECT004W1A ultra-wide band 5G antennas, the YEMN302Q1A combo antenna series, the YECT028W1A 5G antenna, the YECT003W1A 4G antenna, the YFNF915F3AM and YFNF868F3AM LoRa antennas, the YFBC001WWA Wi-Fi antenna, and the YFGC007E3A GNSS antenna.
“We are delighted to introduce the latest additions to our antenna portfolio,” said Norbert Muhrer, President and CSO, Quectel Wireless Solutions. “We continually work to ensure that our range of antenna products complement our expansive module range and meet our customer requirements. Our antennas are optimised and pre-tested with our module portfolio, making the design, integration and testing process faster and easier for our customers.”
The YECT004W1A and YECT005W1A ultra-wide band 5G antennas provide extensive coverage from 600–6000MHz and are backward-compatible with 4G, 3G, and 2G networks, as well as LTE Cat M and narrowband IoT (NB-IoT). Both antennas feature an SMA male connector and are ideal for applications requiring discreet installation. Their low-profile, terminal-mount, omni-directional design ensures easy installation and durability, with the YECT004W1A boasting an IP67 rating.
The YEMN302Q1A combo antenna series integrates multiple antennas, including 5G, 4G, GNSS, and Wi-Fi, to support a wide range of communication functions. These units can be mounted on device surfaces using screws, adhesive, or other methods and accommodate various connector types and cable lengths. This series is an ideal solution for outdoor applications requiring high performance and flexibility.
The YECT028W1A 5G external antenna covers 5G NR Sub-6GHz frequency bands, while also supporting 4G/3G/2G/LPWA bands. It delivers high efficiency and gain, making it an excellent omni-directional antenna for high-speed data transmission. Similarly, the YECT003W1A 4G antenna covers the main 4G LTE bands and is compatible with 3G/2G/LPWA bands.
The YFNF915F3AM and YFNF868F3AM LoRa antennas are well-suited for applications in smart metering, remote monitoring, and telematics. The YFNF915F3AM, measuring 120.2mm × 25mm, offers coverage from 910–930MHz, while the YFNF868F3AM, measuring 70mm × 40mm, provides coverage from 863–870MHz. Both come with a 150mm cable terminated with an IPEX MHF 1 connector, and custom cable lengths and connectors are available.
The YFBC001WWA is a compact, surface-mount ceramic chip antenna for Wi-Fi applications. With dimensions of just 1.6mm x 0.8mm x 0.4mm, it is ideal for space-constrained devices such as Wi-Fi, WLAN, BT, Zigbee, and 802.11 terminals.
The YFGC007E3A GNSS antenna is designed with a PCB and ceramic buckle mount and is optimised for GNSS L1 and L5 frequencies. It measures 50mm by 50mm by 14.5mm and operates within the 1164-1189MHz and 1559-1606MHz bands, with an IPEX MHF 1 connector.
