NeoCortec is a pioneer in ultra‑low‑power mesh networking. Powered by its unique NeoMesh technology, the company delivers scalable, high‑density IoT networks designed for Smart Grids, Smart Cities, and other demanding environments. Every node is a router—creating a fully self‑forming, self‑healing network at 868, 915, or 2400 MHz. Typical NeoMesh nodes run for up to seven years on just two AA batteries—a benchmark for energy efficiency in massive IoT.

For many years, NeoCortec has worked in close partnership with Antennity, its trusted Sales and Design Partner. Antennity develops the compact antenna solutions that turn NeoMesh concepts into reality—enabling tailor‑made, next‑generation mesh designs ready for large‑scale industrial and rural deployment.

A Technical Partnership That Drives Innovation

Together, NeoCortec and Antennity create ultra‑efficient, modular antenna solutions that power the world’s most advanced low‑power networks. Their joint focus on openness and integration allows seamless implementation across gateways, sensors, and mesh modules—always tuned for performance, reliability, and scalability.

The NeoCortec–Antennity Antenna Design White Paper

At the heart of this collaboration lies the comprehensive 80‑page white paper “PCB Track Antenna 868 / 915 MHz” by Antennity. It details the engineering behind an open, integrated Inverted‑F PCB antenna for NeoMesh (LoRa‑PHY / FSK‑PHY) and demonstrates how pure geometric optimisation—without external components—can achieve nearly 100 % antenna efficiency.

Inside the White Paper

• Optimised S‑shaped Inverted‑F antenna with custom stub tuning along the ground‑plane edge.

• Performance comparisons with chip antennas and reference layouts (e.g. Texas Instruments IFA), validated through efficiency and range tests.

• Insightful analysis showing how a matching capacitor reduces efficiency by about 5 %—and why geometry‑based tuning delivers better results.

Open Access and Real‑World Integration

Antennity provides free DXF layout downloads for KiCAD, Altium, or EAGLE—no NDA, no licensing, and no added BOM costs.
The document includes practical integration guidelines for compact IoT designs, such as Wi‑SUN and LoRa gateways in Africa, with clear rules for antenna matching, ground‑plane size, and optimal positioning.
