SP610 Splatch® Antennas

Linx Technologies’ Splatch® SP610 is a surface-mount monopole antenna for embedded LTE and cellular IoT (LTE-M and NB-IoT) applications. The SP610 specifically supports low-frequency LTE bands from 698 MHz to 960 MHz, notably the 700 MHz bands, and 1710 MHz to 2700 MHz making it an outstanding antenna for LTE and cellular low-power wide-area (LPWA) applications in North America, Europe and worldwide.

The SP610 uses a grounded-line technique to achieve outstanding performance when subject to nearby sources of interference.

It is available in tape and reel packaging and is designed for reflow-solder mounting directly to a printed circuit board for high-volume applications.
