GigaAnt



GigaAnt develops, manufacture and supplies, external and customised
antennas dedicated to short - range wireless devices used in, e.g.
Bluetooth, Home RF and wireless LAN applications in the 2.4 GHz band. In
addition, the company offers a full range of antenna development support
and RF testing.

Every single radio transceiver needs an antenna, and its design, quality
and placement are critical factors for the performance of the entire
digital device. This is GigaAnt´s expertise. The company aims to be the
natural antenna partner for the adopters of the Bluetooth wireless
technology worldwide within the next three years. Since many Bluetooth
devices will be produced in relatively small quantities, GigaAnt is
investing in the development of standard antennas for the license - free
2.4 GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band.

Already available today are antennas for three standard platforms.
Upon request, all standard antennas can be customised to suit particular
applications. For large - volume manufacturers with special needs, GigaAnt
has the resources to develop and produce entirely tailor - made solutions.

Over 25 - years of experience

Right from the start, GigaAnt is a company with advanced know - how and
experience in the fields of antenna design and development, measuring and
testing, and high - volume production. The company has signed contracts
with several prominent adopters of the Bluetooth wireless technology and
begins delivering antennas in volumes June 2000.

Although formed recently, GigaAnt is a subsidiary of Moteco, one of the
world's leading suppliers of terminal antennas for mobile phones. Moteco
has developed and manufactured antennas for mobile applications for more
than 25 years and has today more than 300 employees and production units
in Sweden; China and Malaysia. Both Moteco / GigaAnt belong to Hexagon,
which is listed on the Swedish stock exchange.

The head office of GigaAnt is located in the city of Lund, where Ericsson

Systems, Axis etc., also have their research and development facilities.
