The engineers of the University of Polytechnic University have developed a compact and economical Wi-Fi antenna for telecommunications systems, ensuring data transmission with minimal losses and stable connection even without mobile contact. The development will improve the efficiency of transportation and special equipment used in remote areas – on construction sites, fields or quarters. Gazeta.ru has been notified by the press service of the educational institution.

Telecommunication terminals are now installed on most types of vehicles – from taxis and trucks to buses and agricultural vehicles. They continuously collect data on technical status, roadmap, fuel consumption and send to moderation services. However, if the connection is lost, the terminals will switch to offline information accumulation mode, then uploaded by the mobile data collection set-a car with a Wi-Fi module that drives the device.
The antenna in the terminal will determine how quickly and reliable transmission speed will be. PNIPU has created a pre-printed MIFA antenna capable of receiving up to 99% of the power supply and provided stable communication channels.
In the course of work, experts compare different types of antennas-ceramic, stamped, patch and print, select the best plan for cost, size and ability to renew.
Sergei Tyurin, a senior lecturer at the Department of Automation and Mechatronics at PNIPU, said: “The best performance in size, price, the ability to regenerate, protect the static and orientation has been expressed through MIFI in antenna.
According to authors, new solutions can be used in serial telecommunications terminals to transport goods and agriculture, wood mining equipment, mining and construction. The antenna does not need external installation, resistant to damage and does not increase the cost of the device, which promises to be implemented in a series in industry.
Previously, Russia has solved one of the main issues of construction in the northern region.
