In particular, with advanced electromagnetic simulation technology, the engineering team can optimize the antenna structure for each specific deployment environment - from narrow spaces such as library shelves, to industrial environments with many metals and high electromagnetic interference. The antenna design and manufacturing process is completely in-house: from printed circuit board (PCB) design, substrate material selection, hardware processing to VSWR, gain and radiation pattern testing. This allows for quality control of each prototype and reduces the time it takes to adjust the design. Nextwaves also develops customized antennas for each practical application problem, such as: precise reading area limitation, shelf height-based reading area, or precise reading in the direction of travel. |  | Non-equity Assistance | Jun 04, 2026 |  |
