External dipole antennas like rubber ducky or whip antennas are commonly used for WiFi routers, set-top boxes, and base stations. But they tend to occupy a significant amount of space within the devices and require manual installation. In contrast, NICs vertical chip antennas offer superior performance and even better throughput, while also having a much smaller form factor that allows for slimmer and more stylish device designs.
The dual polarization capability of these antennas means that they require minimal ground clearance and can easily support miniature portable devices, including wearables, with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections. With NICs vertical chip antennas, you can have both top-notch performance and aesthetics.
