Google Glass is a year or so out, and even after that we’re still looking at about five years until we’re all upgraded at the behest of our robotic overlords. [justurn] simply can’t wait, so he decided to submit to the cybermen early with his Android-controlled wristwatch attached with dermal implants. [justurn]‘s got the inspiration […]

A group of researchers at The University of British Columbia are doing just […]

Multi-band antenna 2J301 offers several properties for which it´s worth to consider its usage in your devices.   Decent gain, good VSWR values, small dimensions, resistance to outdoor conditions and a simple mount method are probably basic features, which we´d expect from external antennas for the GSM/UMTS, PCS bands. Antenna 2J301M/SMA  from company 2J provides all this but it features yet another positive feature – a good price. That´s why, if you´re searching for an antenna with good specification for a good price, 2J301M is a good choice. An elegant design from an ABS plastic is suitable for virtually every application and an easy installation is ensured by a magnetic bottom plate together with a 2.5 m long flexible cable (RG174) with the SMA connector. Detailed description of the 2J301M/SMA antenna can be found in the 2J301 datasheet.  In case of interest, please contact us at info@soselectronic.com.
