Samsung Selects Ethertronics' IMD™ Antenna Technology for the Infuse™ 4G Smartphone

SAN DIEGO, May 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Ethertronics, a leading technology company enabling the future direction of mobile communications via its portfolio of antenna and RF solutions, today announced that its Isolated Magnetic Dipole™ (IMD) antenna technology is enabling broadband connectivity for Samsung's new Infuse™ 4G smartphone, which is being dubbed as the world's thinnest 4G smartphone. The selection underscores Ethertronics' reputation as a leading provider of innovative antenna systems solutions for wireless devices.

In today's smartphones and the Infuse 4G in particular, designing an antenna solution that will support competitive form factor design, yet meet stringent RF specifications is challenging.  Ethertronics has been dedicated to providing custom engineered solutions to meet the marketplace demands.
