Wi-PlaDs is the brand name for OMRON's family of wireless, high-frequency devices with wide frequency ranges and compact dimensions made possible by a special dielectric polymer.

Main Wi-PlaDs Features

(1) The use of a dielectric polymer allows the devices to operate in the wide GHz range.
(2) An original dielectric polymer molding technology enables the molding of compact devices with a high degree of freedom in shaping.

These two features make it possible to manufacture devices that fit into the limited space of today's mobile equipment while providing UWB (ultra wide band) short-distance wireless communication with speeds and capacities that exceed wireless LAN and Bluetooth systems.

Devices for a variety of mobile equipment that will benefit from the features of flexible shaping and mass production will follow the WXA-N1SL SMD Polymeric Antenna, which is a UWB antenna that was marketed as the first product to carry the Wi-PlaDs brand.

Wi-PlaDs stands for Wireless Polymeric advanced Devices. The horizontal line that extends through the logo mark expresses the wide and integral nature that lets these devices link and communicate across a wide frequency range. The logo mark also reflects the futuristic and stylish devices that are increasingly linking personal computers and home appliances.
