As a part of this revolutionary relaunch, service customer service as well as the acceleration that the IoT promises will continue to be at the forefront of the company's values.
Due to the enormous acceptance that Virtual Antenna ™ technology for IoT devices has had, Fractus Antennas have been relaunched as Ignion, a change that marks a new era of expansion and development. With over twenty five million devices installed in the last 5 years alone, the benefits of Ignion's new technology are here to stay in the growing Internet of Things (IoT) industry.
Developed to make installing any antenna for any IoT device easy, Virtual Antenna ™ technology cuts installation times from months to weeks, ensuring manufacturers can compete effectively. The technology that is based on what is called “antenna booster” makes it easier for electronic engineers to implement the antenna in their designs without needing to be antenna specialists.
With support for multiple cellular and non-cellular technologies, ranging from NB-IoT and LTE-M to low power LPWAN and Bluetooth, at frequencies up to 10GHz, Virtual Antenna™ technology can be used in a large number of network designs. IoT, and with this facilitate the contracting and logistics processes.
This innovative technology changes the habits of Ignion users. “Using Ignion's technology is convenient if you need to encompass each and every one of the bands in different zones on the same hardware. It cuts down a lot of effort and time when we're talking about inventory,” says Justin Matthews, Technical Architect of Wireless Communication Devices at Landis+Gyr Company, leaders in Smart Grid and Smart Metering Technology. "Ignion's solution has clearly helped us as we can now launch the product early." “Now we have less hassle when it comes to designs and less validation time on our end.”
A simple 3-step process supports Ignion services. This integration can be even easier if we take advantage of Ignion's Fast Track online tool, which allows the booster to be placed on the board virtually and very quickly. In addition to this, the Ignion engineering team designs the first electronic circuit to match the user's convenient frequency bands, and everything will be optimized for the specific device. This will allow an approximation of the radiation from the device to be predicted from the start. And as a part of Ignion's work morale in offering its service customers innovative solutions and tailored assistance, each and every Fast Track service user will receive a reply within twenty-four hours.
This service is highly appreciated by certain clients of the service such as Justin Matthews: "Since [Ignion's] reports are professionally made and have a base of pre-made templates, then they can circulate internally and without having to add anything to them or change them."
Similarly, other customers of the service have chosen Virtual Antena ™ because of its quirks and the customer-based morality of the service that the Ignion brand represents. Peter Huang, Design Engineer at ZillionSource, a leading IoT distribution and asset tracking company, says, “High performance and professional design were the key factors we considered when choosing Ignion.”
With easy design processes, configuration capabilities and the full support of the Ignion brand, Virtual Antena ™ will help manufacturers quickly achieve success in the growing IoT industry.
