Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona, October 06, 2022 – Ignion, a global provider of ground-breaking IoT antenna solutions announced that the Antenna Intelligence Cloud™ digital twin has been selected as a finalist in the Design Tool and Development Software Product of the Year – Sponsored by Swindon Silicon as part of the prestigious annual Elektra Awards sponsored by Electronics Weekly Magazine.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by industry peers for our unique digital twin product solution that makes RF design easy for IoT developers,” said Dr. Aurora Andujar, Ignion’s Director of Engineering.

Ignion’s submission to this year’s competition is a novel technology called Antenna Intelligence Cloud™ which, in combination with the Ignion Virtual Antenna® portfolio has allowed IoT device manufacturers both large and small to get to market faster with a highly optimized RF design. To get a head start, developers take advantage of Ignion’s free Antenna Intelligence Cloud™ service. Within 24 hours, users receive an antenna design customized for their device along with an estimation report including antenna efficiency graphs, easy tuning guidance, and design recommendations for optimal RF performance. The use of Virtual Antenna® technology shortens the development process and Ignion guides the users through the antenna system design, integration, and testing phase, avoiding design mistakes that delay product certification and time-to-market. The platform has achieved a 95% accuracy and the time it takes from submission to complete the report is just hours. The Antenna Intelligence Cloud™ supports any wireless technology (NB-IoT, LTE-M, Cat1, GNSS, Bluetooth, LoRa, Z-Wave, 5G, UWB, Wi-Fi 6 and beyond) and ensures faster time to market. The flexibility and simplicity of the platform mean that even makers and start-ups with little to no RF experience can successfully design an IoT product with reliable connectivity. This democratization of RF design opens up the IoT world to new entrants of all stripes, only limited by their imagination.

The winners will be announced in London at the gala awards ceremony, taking place on Wednesday 30 November at the Grosvenor House Hotel.
