Ethertronics, the leading developer and manufacturer of high performance internal (embedded) antennas for wireless devices, today announced that they have been chosen by Broadcom as a technology partner to develop advanced antenna solutions for the PC market. Ethertronics and Broadcom have been working together to develop mobile solutions, using Ethertronics' IMD™ technology, for several key OEM's and are now shipping products in high volume to multiple customers globally.

"Broadcom required a high performance antenna for several leading OEM notebook PC applications," said Thomas Ramsthaler, Senior Product Line Manager, Broadcom. "Ethertronics' IMD technology is an excellent match for our Bluetooth products, offering a small footprint and superior performance. Ethertronics also proved they are capable of seamlessly managing demanding projects requiring very high volumes of output."

Ethertronics' Isolated Magnetic Dipole™ (IMD) technology delivers on the key needs of today's wireless device manufacturers. It has been designed to confine the current flow on the antenna element and optimize the isolation to deliver high performance in a small form factor with minimal SAR emissions.

"We are excited to be working with Broadcom to support their global wireless efforts. This is another strong affirmation that our IMD technology is setting a new standard for wireless performance in mobile devices," said Mike Isgrig, vice president, marketing and sales at Ethertronics. "It is also a strong vote of confidence that our manufacturing, service and support capabilities meet or exceed the exacting standards of the top OEM's in the market."
