With a volume of about 4cm3, this antenna is the smallest internal five-band antenna in the world.
It offers over 50% average terminal radiation efficiency over all five bands and can be customised to suit individual customer requirements.
The Pentanova has superb detuning characteristics thanks to the properties of Antenova's HDA high dielectric antenna technology, and because of this, components can be placed close to the antenna and will have less interference than conventional technology.

With the roll-out of 3G networks, handsets that can handle 2G, 2.5G and 3G integrated technology are in large demand.
Also, with handsets decreasing in size and the functionality increasing, there is real pressure on handset designers to fit more components into an ever reducing space.
The Pentanova can fit into all sizes of mobile phones, offering the ability to just use one component for all models (including dual-band, triband and quadband models), and thus saving costs on tooling and development.
'The Pentanova is a world-class antenna which is already having an impact on the marketplace'.
'We see an increasing demand for small, discrete internal antennas that can give high performance with worldwide coverage - the Pentanova does all of these things and more', says Greg McCray, CEO of Antenova.
