When it comes to mission-critical networking, every deployment has unique requirements, environmental challenges and performance needs that demand careful selection of both the networking equipment and the associated antennas. Through our strategic collaboration with Taoglas—a premier antenna solutions provider—we're solving both challenges at once: expanding antenna options for our AirLink® routers while eliminating compatibility risks. Our curated selection of verified Taoglas antennas gives you the flexibility to choose what works best for your deployment with the confidence that it will work seamlessly with your AirLink router.
Meeting Mission-Critical Organizations Where They Are
In today's rapidly evolving connectivity landscape—spanning 5G, edge computing, private networking, satellite communications, and other emerging technologies—the requirements of mission-critical organizations have become more varied than ever. Our customers operate in diverse environments, from public safety vehicles navigating urban canyons to industrial IoT deployments in remote locations, each with distinct antenna needs.
Take public safety agencies, for example, which face unique deployment challenges when installing connectivity solutions on patrol vehicles, command units and emergency response vehicles. These organizations often require antennas that can be discreetly integrated into specific vehicle configurations while maintaining reliable connectivity for mission-critical communications, real-time data access and emergency response coordination. Standard antenna configurations may not fit within the strict space constraints of some emergency vehicles, making specialized low-profile and covert antenna options essential for successful deployment.
While Semtech antennas deliver guaranteed performance across a wide range of applications, some deployments may require additional form factors and configuration options. Rather than let customers navigate compatibility questions on their own, we've taken a proactive approach.
Verified Compatibility for Mission-Critical Applications
Through our partnership with Taoglas, we're expanding connectivity options by providing access to a curated selection of verified Taoglas antennas that have been verified for compatibility with our AirLink router solutions. This collaboration delivers:
- Expanded optionality with access to a variety of antenna form factors and configurations.
- Simplified Selection Process – Verified antennas have been tested to confirm they work seamlessly with AirLink routers, eliminating compatibility concerns and simplifying your selection process.
- Supply Chain Flexibility - Additional sourcing options provide resilience for your deployment planning and ongoing operations.
Commitment to Mission-Critical Excellence
This partnership reflects our broader commitment to ensuring that mission-critical organizations have access to the right tools for their specific challenges. Whether you're deploying public safety communications, managing critical infrastructure networks or supporting remote operations, the combination of proven AirLink routers with the right antenna solution enables your connectivity to perform when it matters most.
“By working closely with Semtech to verify compatibility with AirLink routers, we're removing the guesswork from antenna selection for mission-critical applications. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to delivering solutions that perform reliably in the field.” Chris Friend, Vice President, North American Sales, Mobility and Infrastructure, at Taoglas.
