Embedded antenna solutions provider Ethertronics Inc. has reached the 100 millionth shipment of its Isolated Magnetic Dipole (IMD) antennas—validating the company's ability to cater to device manufacturers' increasing demand for functionality and high-quality performance.

"Establishing an installed base of more than 100 million highlights Ethertronics' antennas superior performance capabilities and ease of integration," said Jeffrey Crosby, President and CEO of Ethertronics. "As the industry-wide trend of developing smaller and more compact devices continues, Ethertronics is witnessing an increased demand for high-performance, quality embedded antennas to serve a variety of applications. The company is experiencing a high-growth phase and expects this phase to continue as manufacturers continue to see the advantages of our IMD antennas."

In March 2007, Ethertronics announced the company reached the 50 million milestone for antennas shipped. Within the past year, Ethertronics doubled its installed base to surpass the 100 million mark.

Ethertronics continues to gain global market share with its full line of custom and embedded, stamped-metal and ceramic antenna products, which enable manufacturers to easily incorporate the company's antennas into feature-rich devices while continuing to shrink products' overall size. The company's patented IMD antenna technology delivers to the key needs of today's wireless world by confining the current flow on the antenna, which optimizes isolation and delivers higher performance with minimal SAR emissions.

Ethertronics' antennas have been designed into several global manufacturers' handsets, including Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and Symbol, as well as an innovative GPS watch from Casio and Bluetooth modules for HP notebook computers.
