Taoglas have released the ultra-wideband Pylon FXUB85 flexible PCB antenna designed for the next generation of connectivity, the antenna provides best-in-class performance for all 5G sub 6 GHz (FR1) and Wi-Fi 6 applications. This Flexible PCB antenna features the widest bandwidth of any flex antenna currently on the market.
The Pylon FXUB85 covers the entire frequency spectrum from 600 MHz – 8 GHz and allows for coverage in the 3.5 GHz CBRS bands, the 1400 MHz 5G NR bands 74,75,76, and the 3.6 - 4.6 GHz Japan 5G NR bands 77,78,79. The antenna maintains excellent performance in all the traditional 4G LTE bands, including 4G LTE band 71 and allows for fallback to 3G/2G bands when necessary.
The Pylon FXUB85 antenna PCB has been expertly designed by Taoglas to be the smallest size possible. Measuring just 163 x 21 x 0.3mm and fitted with a self-adhesive pad on one side, the antenna can be neatly placed in the next generation of connectivity devices. As devices become more compact, the Pylon alleviates size constraint issues, its flexible structure means it can conform to the application enclosure shape allowing it to be positioned for optimal performance. The antenna design also allows it to perform well at a reasonable distance from a ground plane, typically 20mm, and has demonstrated ease of integration into complex end user equipment.
The Pylon FXUB85 antenna has a typical efficiency of more than 70% across both low and high frequency bands. The Pylon is designed to be mounted directly onto plastic or glass enclosures and is an ideal choice for any device maker that desires ease of integration and needs to keep manufacturing costs down over the lifetime of a product without compromising performance.
Specifications by frequency band
The antenna is supplied with a 150mm length, 1.37mm diameter coax cable terminated to a I-PEX MHF®I connector which is fully compatible with a U.FL connector. Taoglas are also able to offer different cable lengths and alternate connectors as part of their customisation service to help the antenna assembly meet the exact needs of your application. Contact Anglia to find out more details and to discuss your requirements.
The Pylon FXUB85 antenna is suitable for a wide range of applications including IoT and Connected Devices, UAVs and Autonomous Vehicles, Precision Tracking Devices, Industrial Robotics and Factory Automation, Sensor Nodes, Digital Signage and Wearables

As embedded systems continue to evolve, designers are increasingly challenged to deliver higher performance, stronger security, and longer battery life within increasingly compact products. Whether developing industrial sensors, smart building controls, healthcare devices, or connected IoT endpoints, selecting the right microcontroller is critical to achieving design goals. The latest STM32U3 microcontroller families from STMicroelectronics have been developed to address these challenges, combining modern processing capability with an energy-conscious architecture.
In today’s fast moving electronics world, robust circuit protection is essential for ensuring long-term reliability and safety. Taiwan Semiconductor’s latest snapback (Super Clamp) TVS technology incorporated into the LTD7S24CAH device marks a significant step forward in protecting sensitive circuits from transient voltage events.
STMicroelectronics have introduced the L6986I device, a high-performance synchronous buck converter that is designed for use in applications that require isolated power conversion.
HARTING has launched the new D-Sub PushPull housings. Designed to improve efficient and process-safe handling, the HARTING D-Sub PushPull transforms a well-known connector family into a simplified solution. The PushPull locking mechanism significantly improves the assembly process and reduces installation and maintenance time by up to 50%.
In the world of connected devices, one truth stands firm: even the smartest technology fails if it can’t survive the environment it’s built for. Rain, dust, vibration, UV—these forces don’t care how elegant your circuitry is. They’re relentless. That’s why CamdenBoss created Node & Hub: a new family of enclosures engineered not just to protect electronics, but to make every installation faster, cleaner, and smarter.
The EZPV Series from Panasonic delivers a highly versatile solution for DC Link and DC Filtering applications, offering a broad capacitance range and multiple operating voltage options.
The HIROSE BM54 series floating board‑to‑board connector is designed to absorb real‑world tolerances without sacrificing density.
