Dockon just introduced a technology greatly improving the performance of its Wi-Fi antennas through a combination of electrical and magnetic.

An "antenna composed"
The firm already has models simple 2.4GHz frequency (for Wi-Fi) and 850 MHz (for mobile phones) and working on antennas that can capture multiple frequencies simultaneously. While a conventional receiver performance that is around 50%, the combination of an electric antenna and a loop connected to the first at an angle of 90 ° would provide better performance, mainly because this system would that engineers describe as a 3D virtual antenna. That is what the company calls an "antenna composed.

A more efficient antenna means you get the same performance with less energy and radiation. The receiver is also smaller, thereby improving performance of moving objects whose internal space is limited. Dockon says that current production techniques and materials already available on a large scale can be used for the manufacture of its product.

Vaporware or revolution?
In fact, Dockon about his antenna for years, but this is the first time he has a marketable design that is sold in less than a dollar to OEMs for an unknown amount. In addition, the firm recently received $ 3 million from a Swiss investment fund. If the project seems interesting, it remains to be seen whether this product will be adopted by manufacturers, which will be the ultimate test to silence critics who talk about vaporware, as pointed out by analyst’s supply.
