Minima is a multi-band cellular antenna that covers common 4G and 5G frequencies used worldwide, including the popular Band 71, 617-698 MHz, used by T-Mobile in the US. Therefore, it can be used in designs that will be marketed globally.
Antenova announces Minima to help designers future-proof their designs as operators move away from 3G and deploy 5G services. The Global Mobile Providers Association reports a surge in super-fast 5G networks and 5G devices, identifying 493 operators in 150 countries that have invested in 5G, and 205 operators in 80 countries that have launched 5G mobile services and 5G devices. The number of devices available for 5G networks has grown by more than 60% in the last 12 months.
Bloomberg reports that demand for high-bandwidth entertainment services, such as 4K video streaming and remote AR/VR gaming, is driving growth, while oil, gas, mining, and energy utilities are investing in 5G networks to connect millions of industrial IoT (IIoT) devices. Emergency healthcare, transportation, smart cities, V2X, and drones will also utilize 5G.
