Taoglas and Semtech Partner to Optimize Antenna Selection for AirLink® Routers
San Diego, CA, 22 July 2025 – Taoglas, a trusted provider of advanced RF and antenna solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Semtech Corporation, a leading provider of high-performance semiconductor, Internet of Things (IoT) systems and cloud connectivity service solutions, to offer a portfolio of high-performance antennas verified for use with Semtech’s AirLink® routers. The collaboration enables engineers and system integrators to pick the best antenna option for their router and use case, which are validated for compatibility by both vendors.
As demand for always-on connectivity grows, driven by 5G, edge computing, private networks and satellite systems, network architects are under pressure to deliver reliable performance across increasingly complex and distributed deployments, often under tight deadlines and supply constraints. Verified Taoglas antennas, tested for RF connector, electrical, mechanical, and environmental compatibility with AirLink routers, offer a proven foundation for projects in sectors such as public safety, utilities, transportation, and industrial IoT, where robust connectivity is essential.
The selected antennas have been matched to AirLink models that support multi-band 4G and 5G, Wi‑Fi, and GNSS. A variety of mounting options are available, including terminal/connector, adhesive, magnetic and through-hole mount. They feature SMA connectors, low-profile enclosures, and rugged mounting options which are suited to mobile and outdoor deployments such as connected transport and emergency response systems. Multi-port configurations combine cellular MIMO, Wi‑Fi, and GNSS in a single housing, with designs tested to withstand vibration, weather exposure, and tampering. All models support IP-rated installation and operate across extended temperature ranges from –40 °C to +85 °C.
To assist engineers and system integrators in selecting the ideal antenna for their specific Semtech router model and deployment scenario, Taoglas has also created a dedicated reference page: Semtech Devices: Optimize with Taoglas Antenna Solutions.
“By ensuring our antennas are the optimal choice for AirLink routers, we’re helping customers avoid common integration pitfalls and focus on building reliable, application-ready systems,” said Chris Friend, Vice President, North American Sales, Mobility and Infrastructure, at Taoglas.
“Selecting the right antenna is an important part of system performance, and our collaboration with Taoglas simplifies the process by offering customers antenna options that are matched to AirLink router specifications to enable the best-in-class performance,” said Kinana Hussain, Vice President of Networking Solutions at Semtech.
