Wi-Fi 6E Lens Antenna Reduces Antenna Count, Boosts Capacity in Large Venues
The latest in MatSing’s lineup of high-capacity Wi-Fi antennas, the MS-16.16W45, uses a single lens to deliver multiple high-capacity sectors. The antenna extends the same centralized, high-performance approach to Wi-Fi 6E (5.125 to 7.125 GHz) as it has previously in other bands.
The MS-16.16W45 W-iFi antenna supports 16 independent beams and 4×4 MIMO operation in the Wi-Fi 6E band. Thus, it supports thousands of simultaneous users from a single mount point.
Designed for high-density venues such as stadiums and arenas, the new antenna delivers powerful Wi-Fi 6E performance with significantly fewer antennas, helping venues reduce infrastructure while increasing capacity.
Unlike traditional panel antennas that rely on dozens of distributed mounting locations, MatSing’s centralized lens antenna design provides broad, high-performance coverage from fewer positions. This results in cleaner stadium aesthetics, improved fan experience, and lower long-term operational costs.
MatSing will unveil the MS-16.16W45 antenna at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (March 2 to 5 at Fira Gran Via).
