IoT antennas are essential in connecting any wireless device to communications networks – without an antenna, it can’t be wireless.

The crucial consideration for IoT device designers when planning their solutions is what type of antenna is required: be it for 5G or GNSS connectivity, or a variety of network types; size or weight constraints; the need for protection against the elements; or minimum demands for efficiency and gain. Whether an embedded antenna can be sited on the device PCB, limiting the impact on device size and aesthetics – or whether an external antenna is required to limit the risk of interference and maximize accessibility post-build – can also make the difference in the ultimate success of an IoT device.

These decisions however are often neglected until late in the development process, resulting in unnecessary compromises and sub-optimal siting of antennas that could have been avoided with careful design planning. Quectel offers not only a wide range of embedded and external IoT antennas to support connectivity of all kinds, but can support its customers from the design stage all the way to testing and certification, and beyond to post-deployment technical support. Sourcing IoT antennas from a single supplier alongside modules and certifications can vastly reduce cost and time-to-market, simplifying the complex processes between conception and the mass market. You can view a breakdown of our rapidly growing antenna portfolio in the tables below, and click through for detail on the model of your choosing.
