Ethertronics' Phone Adaptive Antenna Solution Ensures Maximum 4G Performance

SAN DIEGO - Ethertronics, a leading technology company enabling innovative antenna and RF solutions to deliver the best connected experience, today announced that its EtherSmart LTE 1.0 Phone Adaptive Antenna Solution has been selected for Samsung's Galaxy S II LTE SC-03D smartphone for NTT DOCOMO subscribers in Japan. EtherSmart LTE 1.0 underscores Ethertronics' continued ability to provide innovative antenna system solutions for wireless devices, particularly in the 4G space.
