Wireless technologies are of growing importance for a large variety of products. The integration of wireless connectivity into traditionally non-wireless or newly created devices can support interesting additional features. However, the path from a brilliant product idea to a successful end-product is sometimes stonier than expected.

The complexities faced when trying to integrate off-the-shelf antennas into their products are often underestimated. Depending on a number of aspects such as technology, housing, shielding, cable routing etc., embedding an antenna into your product often becomes a surprisingly difficult and time-consuming task.
