Electrically switchable antennas are innovative, cable-fed PCB antennas designed to deliver high performance in Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). They are ideal for WiFi 6 and WiFi 7-enabled routers and gateways, industrial Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and smart home systems where dynamic performance optimization is required.

These antennas are also well-suited for mesh networks, improving coverage and adaptability in environments with challenging signal propagation, such as multi-story buildings.

HL Global’s electrically switchable antennas employ cost-effective and straightforward switching mechanism that supports two distinct radiation pattern directions and polarizations. Our unique designs allow antennas to achieve excellent performance in both switching states. Switching signal is provided via the RF coax cable that feeds the antenna, eliminating the need for additional cabling for the switching mechanism.

With simple integration and installation options, such as clip or tape mounting, our electrically switchable antennas offer ease and convenience of non-switchable antennas while adding advanced functionality. Being chipset-agnostic, these antennas are compatible with various WiFi boards, requiring only a bias-T implementation for operation.

Electrically switchable antennas represent a cutting-edge solution for modern wireless communication including WiFi 7, offering superior performance and adaptability while maintaining the simplicity and cost-effectiveness demanded by today’s fast-evolving connectivity landscape.
