PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), a leader in propagation and optimization
solutions for the wireless industry, announced today the introduction of
its Medallion™ GPS multi-band antenna platform. Along with GPS tracking
support, the antenna covers 806-960MHz, 1710-2170MHz and 2.3-2.6GHz
frequency bands for Wi-Fi, WiMAX and PCS/Cellular Technologies in one
single unit. PCTEL’s Medallion™ antenna platform provides an efficient,
cost effective solution for a variety of mobile or fixed applications,
including mass transit, asset tracking, telemetry, telematics, LMR
public safety, field measurement and wireless network optimization.
The next generation Medallion™ antenna platform utilizes PCTEL’s
successful wideband technology which eliminates the need to install
separate antennas to achieve seamless wireless voice and data
communications. A rugged, low profile housing provides outstanding shock
absorption and water ingress protection for maximum performance and
reliability under harsh environmental conditions. This modern, low
profile platform has been aesthetically designed for consumers,
commercial, and emergency vehicles.
"By combining GPS with cellular/3G, Wi-Fi and WiMAX capabilities in our
next generation Medallion™ antenna platform, PCTEL is well positioned to
remain competitive and continues to be a premier supplier of high-value
GPS antenna products,” said Jeff Miller, PCTEL’s Vice President and
General Manager of its Antenna Products Group. "PCTEL continues to grow
in this important segment of the wireless communications industry
through research and development activities, and targeted acquisitions
of market relevant product lines,” added Miller
PCTEL will be demonstrating its Medallion™ platform along with its
portfolio of GPS/Telematics, mobile and infrastructure antenna solutions
at the International Wireless Communications Expo show, booth # 1529,
