Digi-Key Electronics, a global electronic components distributor, announced that it has expanded its offerings to include the Taoglas custom antenna builder, which will give Digi-Key customers the freedom to easily and quickly order their custom-tailored antennas. Taoglas is the global leader of advanced antenna designs and the Taoglas custom antenna builder revolutionises how device OEMs, enterprises and public safety organisations order their antennas and get access to custom antenna designs. It eliminates some of the common pain points typically associated with custom designs and the overall ordering process. With the Taoglas custom antenna builder, Digi-Key customers can now choose from a vast portfolio of world-class antennas and will have the ability to select the type of antenna they want, along with the communication standards, frequency bands, mounting requirements, combination and colour and have it shipped within two days.*

The Taoglas custom antenna builder offers a step-by-step intelligent web-based order form, allowing users to visualize the products as they are being constructed, to ensure they are getting the exact solutions they need for their job. Drawings and documentation can be downloaded immediately and Digi-Key customers will get instant pricing. Built-in intelligence prevents incorrect cable and connector pairings from being selected.

After customers have completed their purchase, the bespoke goods will be assembled immediately by Taoglas and typically shipped within 48 hours*. This expansion is part of Digi-Key’s Marketplace initiative, broadening the world’s largest selection of electronic components and making Digi-Key more of a one-stop-shop than ever before.
