Webinar: Wireless for Wearables and Difficult Platforms: Double the Distance, Half the Power

Webinars

Double the distance, half the power. How the data backs it up.

Switching to an antenna specifically designed for body-worn or metal-mounted platforms can deliver a 6–12 dB link budget improvement under Non-Line-of-Sight conditions. That translates directly to double the range, half the transmit power, or both, measured in an anechoic chamber, on repeatable test-beds, across multiple frequency bands.

In this webinar, AntennaWare CEO/Co-Founder Dr Gareth Conway shows you exactly how those numbers are achieved, the physics, the measurement methodology, and the commercial deployments that validate it.

Previously presented at Embedded World 2026.

When: April 22nd 4.00 PM GMT/9.00 AM PDT/12.00 PM EDT/5.00 PM CET
