Farnell and Maxtena Sign Global Distribution Agreement

Farnell, a world-leading catalogue distributor for electronic components and industrial products, has reached a distribution agreement with Maxtena, Inc., a top developer and producer for innovative wireless solutions, including GNSS, M2M and MSS helical and patch embedded and external antennas.

The new agreement between Farnell and Maxtena will provide European and Asia Pacific customers with a fast and convenient channel through which they can purchase Maxtena’s products. The agreement will provide design engineers and buyers with finished helical and patch antenna solutions that can be quickly purchased through Farnell’s online store.

“We’re very excited to have Farnell as an official Maxtena distributor,” says Stanislav Licul, CEO and President of Maxtena. “Having Farnell as a distributor means we can get our antenna products into the hands of our customers in the European and Asia Pacific markets faster and more cost effectively. This new agreement will cut down on longer lead times and provide the design engineers evaluating our products more time for the necessary lab testing they will conduct.”

The products now available on Farnell’s website include: helical antennas (GPS L1/L2, GLONASS, Iridium), patch antennas (GPS, GLONASS, Globalstar) and patch antenna-tuning kits (GPS). These products are ideally suited for portable wireless applications including satellite phones, soldier worn communications gear, hand-held navigation, asset tracking, recreational devices and industrial equipment.

Maxtena’s expertise in embedded and external antenna solutions matched with Farnell’s reputation as one of the largest and most highly trusted distributors serving Europe and Asia Pacific, means design engineers can achieve their goals faster and more cost effectively.
