Abracon has introduced the AANE-PU-0249, an external puck antenna designed to streamline wireless industrial connectivity. This device integrates support for 868 MHz, 915 MHz, and 2.4 GHz ISM bands into a single unit.
Why it matters
By consolidating multiple frequencies into one enclosure, the device reduces antenna count and cabling complexity in industrial IoT deployments. This design addresses the need for compact, multi-band hardware in resource-constrained environments.
The AANE-PU-0249 measures 46.6 mm in diameter and 14.5 mm in height, featuring 50% efficiency for sub-GHz bands and 48% efficiency at 2.4 GHz. It maintains an IP67 rating and operates across an environmental temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
The players
Abracon
A global manufacturer of frequency control, timing, and magnetic components for the industrial IoT and telecommunications sectors.
The details
The antenna uses a permanent screw-mount installation to provide a fixed connection for industrial hardware. It functions by combining sub-GHz and 2.4 GHz frequency support, which minimizes cable runs and simplifies overall system architecture. The unit includes a 1 m RG-58 cable and offers compatibility with SMA or RP-SMA connectors.
