The OptumX builds on Airgain’s antenna design expertise to
deliver a high-performance, ultra-wide-band dual-LTE MIMO solution
in the small, robust form-factor, commonly referred to as a
‘shot-glass’ or ‘salt and pepper shaker’ antenna. The OptumX
utilizes patent pending technology to enable dual MIMO antennas to
operate in very close proximity within the single enclosure,
overcoming key technical hurdles including MIMO antenna isolation.
The OptumX is tailored to the needs of Industrial Internet of
Things (IIoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) applications with often
restricted exterior mounting options and a need to keep
installation costs to a minimum. IIoT and M2M solutions have
previously been required to choose between the increased cost of
using two separate antennas, or to use large and often unsightly
antennas designed for different uses.
As a shock-resistant, low-profile antenna with a smaller
footprint than competitive solutions and a strong, bolt-mount base,
the OptumX is built to meet the specific needs of IIoT and M2M
users, providing cost-effective high-performance connectivity for
IIoT and M2M applications. The OptumX is designed to blend in, but
is also built to Airgain’s exacting standards, providing
exceptional protection against UV and natural hazards and helping
ensure reliable operation.
“Before today, users have been forced to use solutions that are
either too bulky or require multiple enclosures to get the
performance they need for their IIoT and M2M applications,” said
Reed Pangborn, Airgain’s Vice President of Channel Sales for North
America. “The new OptumX delivers two LTE antennas in a single,
innovative enclosure that significantly shrinks the real estate
needed for installation and use.”
Availability
The OptumX antenna can be ordered in either black or white and
will be available in November through our trusted channel partners
or direct at 1-855-AIRGAIN. As with other Antenna Plus portfolio
products, the OptumX is proudly built in the USA, delivering high
quality and fast turnaround times.
