Prepare for Next-Gen Connectivity: WiFi 7-Ready Antennas from AG Antenna

The wireless landscape is evolving fast. As industry leaders like Semtech Sierra Wireless, Ericsson Cradlepoint, Peplink, and Cisco prepare to release their next-generation routers and gateways built for Wi-Fi 7 and 5G NR, one critical piece of the connectivity equation is already available: high-performance external antennas engineered for these next-gen networks. At AG Antenna, we’ve anticipated this shift. Our AG60 Enterprise Series and AG90 Low-Profile Series are fully optimized and commercially available to support the performance demands of Wi-Fi 7 and beyond.


Wi-Fi 7: The Next Leap in Wireless Technology

Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) isn’t just an incremental upgrade, it represents a paradigm shift in wireless communication. With 320 MHz channel bandwidth, 4K QAM modulation, Multi-Link Operation (MLO), and significantly reduced latency, Wi-Fi 7 is engineered to handle next-gen enterprise, industrial, and mobility applications that require maximum throughput, lower jitter, and enhanced spectral efficiency.

For integrators and end-users, the benefits are immediate:

  • Higher data rates for real-time video, AI processing, and edge workloads
  • Better reliability in congested environments
  • Improved performance across multiple frequency bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz)

But to realize these benefits in the real world, your antenna system must match the technical sophistication of the router or gateway it’s paired with.


OEM Momentum: Wi-Fi 7 Devices on the Horizon

Across the wireless ecosystem, the race to Wi-Fi 7 has begun:

  • Semtech Sierra Wireless is preparing Wi-Fi 7-enabled modules and embedded platforms for enterprise and automotive applications.
  • Ericsson Cradlepoint is advancing its line of 5G/Wi-Fi 7 routers targeted at mobile broadband and branch networking.
  • Peplink is integrating Wi-Fi 7 into bonded multi-WAN routers for high-availability deployments.
  • Cisco is revamping its enterprise Wi-Fi lineup to embrace the speed and channel flexibility Wi-Fi 7 offers.

As these devices approach their official release windows, the need for external antenna systems, capable of fully supporting 5G NR and Wi-Fi 7 MIMO is immediate. AG Antenna is already ahead of the curve.


Built for Performance: AG60 and AG90 Series Overview

AG60 Enterprise Series > DATASHEET

The AG60 is designed for high-lead-count configurations supporting complex routers like the Cradlepoint IBR1700, Peplink HD4 MBX, and Cisco ISR series. With up to 11 leads in a single radome, including:

  • 5G/4G LTE Multi-MIMO Cellular
  • Wi-Fi 6/6E - Wi-Fi 7-ready Multi-MIMO
  • Multi-Band GPS - GNSS

This ruggedized antenna delivers maximum isolation, consistent radiation patterns, and ultra-low VSWR across the full frequency spectrum, including the 6 GHz upper band required for Wi-Fi 7.

Ideal for:

  • Public safety fleets
  • Mobile command centers
  • Transportation & logistics
  • SD-WAN failover architectures

AG90 Low-Profile Series > DATASHEET

When space is constrained but performance is still paramount, the AG90 steps in. Its low-profile, aerodynamic design conceals powerful 5G and Wi-Fi 7 capabilities in a discreet enclosure. Available up to 9-in-1 configurations. The AG90 Series supports various configurations, including:

  • 5G/4G LTE Multi-MIMO Cellular
  • Wi-Fi 6/6E - Wi-Fi 7-ready Multi-MIMO
  • Multi-Band GPS - GNSS

Ideal for:

  • First responders
  • Public safety
  • Urban smart infrastructure
  • Panel-mounted devices
  • Autonomous platforms

The RF Difference: Engineering That Delivers

Every AG60 and AG90 antenna is built on a foundation of precision RF engineering. From in-house simulation and design using cutting-edge tools to real-world validation in our controlled anechoic chambers, we fine-tune every element for maximum efficiency.

Key performance highlights:

  • Multiple configurations and mounting capabilities
  • Exceptional lead-to-lead isolation for clean MIMO performance
  • Robust gain and radiation consistency, even in challenging RF environments

AG Antenna doesn’t follow the market—we anticipate it. Our Wi-Fi 7 antenna portfolio was developed in parallel with OEM chipset roadmaps, ensuring our hardware is not just compatible, but optimized.


Why Antennas Matter More Than Ever

Next-gen routers promise performance. But without antennas designed to operate across 5G NR and WiFi 7 frequencies, you’ll never see that performance realized in the field. Internal antennas suffer from attenuation, environmental constraints, and limited spatial diversity.

External antennas, like those in the AG60 and AG90 series, deliver:

  • Proper polarization for high-order MIMO
  • Physical separation of leads to maximize multipath utilization
  • Freedom to mount antennas in RF-optimal positions (rooftop, bulkhead, etc.)

If you’re investing in a WiFi 7 or 5G router, pairing it with an antenna engineered for those technologies is not optional, it’s essential.


AG Antenna Is Ready. Are You?

WiFi 7 devices are arriving. Don’t wait until deployment to discover signal shortfalls. Our AG60 and AG90 Series antennas are in stock, field-proven, and ready to ship. Whether you're an OEM integrator, a fleet operator, or a wireless solution provider, AG Antenna has the infrastructure-ready hardware to future-proof your network.
