How do you keep your wireless infrastructure flexible as technologies evolve?

By choosing antennas that already support the latest standards. The iANT antenna range is designed to work with the latest connectivity technologies including Wi-Fi 6E, 5G, LoRaWAN, and BLE.

Connectivity challenges differ from site to site. Layouts, hazardous area classifications, and existing infrastructure all influence how wireless connectivity performs.As a result, the most effective wireless deployments are carefully engineered to suit the specific requirements of each environment, with antenna selection forming a key part of the overall wireless design rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. 

That’s where the iANT range fits in.

Supporting critical use cases

The iANT antenna range is built to support essential mission critical applications. A good example is real-time location systems (RTLS). Accurately tracking personnel on board (POB) provides clear visibility of where people are across the site, including in hazardous areas. This strengthens everyday safety procedures and ensures workers can be accounted for quickly during an emergency.

Within an RTLS deployment, iANT antennas form part of the wireless infrastructure that supports the flow of location data back to the location engine. 

One antenna range, many applications

Beyond RTLS, the iANT antenna range supports the wireless communication that these digital use-cases rely on, applications including predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, remote expert, e-permitting, and digital workflows for your operators. The iANT range allows the right antennas(s) to be selected to suit the chosen wireless technology and coverage requirement, optimising deployments.

To support this flexibility, the range includes options such as:

• High-capacity 4×4 MIMO antennas
• Wi-Fi 6E antenna models
• Omni-directional and directional antennas

Each is designed to optimize coverage where it’s needed, whether that’s across open areas or more targeted zones.

Extending wireless safely into hazardous areas

When certified wireless connectivity is required in Zone 1/Div 1 or Zone 2/Div 2 areas, iANT antennas can be deployed alongside our iWAP range of vendor-agnostic wireless enclosures. This provides a certified, compliant way to extend existing networks into hazardous areas without limiting the use of modern wireless technologies.

Digitalization isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is connectivity

Achieving effective wireless coverage starts with understanding a site’s functional needs and challenges, then selecting antennas that support those requirements. Our team works with customers to help identify the right iANT antenna solutions to unlock meaningful data, keep systems connected, and support ongoing digital transformation. From early discussions to project support, we’re here to help you get the most from your wireless infrastructure.
