NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – L-com, an Infinite Electronics brand in North Andover, Mass. is introducing a line of rubber duck omnidirectional RF and microwave antennas for low-power radio communications applications.

They come in three main frequency bands: 2.4 GHz, 433 MHz, and 916 MHz. The 2.4 GHz antennas extend the range of Wi-Fi routers, improve the signal strength of Bluetooth devices, and enhance the function of cordless telephones.

The 433 MHz antennas are for industrial remote controls, tire pressure monitoring systems, and keyless entry systems. The 916 MHz antennas extend the reach and reliability of short-range radio applications, such as wireless alarm systems and industrial telemetry.

L-com's rubber duck antennas are small and lightweight, making them easy to carry, store, and fit into tight spaces without sacrificing performance or aesthetics.

Some are shorter than an inch tall. They are simple to install, typically attaching to devices using screws or basic connectors that do not require special tools or expertise. Their tilt/swivel flexibility helps enable systems designers to bend and adjust them for optimal positioning. The flexible antennas are durable, and operate in temperatures from -40 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

Applications for L-com's rubber duck antennas include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, IoT, both fixed and mobile devices, LPWAN, ISM, LoRaWAN, Sigfox, Weightless-P, Wi-Fi HaLow, and Zigbee.
