Barcelona 07-February-2006 – Fractus, the fractal antenna technology pioneer, has become a Samsung Approved Vendor, providing antennas for a number of different Samsung handsets. The efficiency and flexibility of Fractus’ antenna technology permits Samsung’s development of next generation mobile phones combining sleek design and rich functionality with a wide range of communication protocols.

Fractus is working with Samsung on clamshell and slider handsets, each of which comes with its own separate RF challenges. Fractus antennas allow Samsung designers to optimise the performance of the handsets while still addressing demand for smaller, sleeker form factors packed with features such as multimedia and short-range wireless connectivity.

As more and more components like cameras and multimedia applications compete for real estate inside phones, the space taken up by the antenna cannot be an afterthought. Working with Fractus, Samsung has been able to maximise the size/performance ratio of its devices and deliver mobile phones which respond to customer demand worldwide. Samsung believes that Fractus’ fractal antenna technology enables smaller, multi-band antennas that help deliver the next generation of mobile phones.

“As one of the top three mobile phone OEMs in the world, Samsung is successful because of its ability to constantly innovate,” said Sam Chin, CEO, Fractus Korea. “Fractus antennas also give Samsung the flexibility of design and rapid prototyping ability that means they can continue to develop the most compelling and feature-rich mass market mobile phones. We’re delighted to be an Approved Vendor for Samsung and to be working with them to develop the next generation of handsets.”

The Fractus tri-band antennas used by Samsung support GSM900, DCS (1710-1880) and PCS (1850-1990). Fractus antennas are currently shipping in, and being developed for, Samsung phones including clamshell and slider GSM tri-band (GSM900/DCS/PCS) camera-phones and a slider phone with both tri-band and WLAN antennas.
