To attain the title of world's thinnest 4G Android smartphone available on the market for its Infuse 4G handset, Samsung employed Ethertronics' Isolated Magnetic Dipole (IMD) antenna technology.

One of the important companies in the mobile communications technology, Ethertronics recently confirmed that its Isolated Magnetic Dipole antenna technology is enabling broadband connectivity for Samsung's Infuse 4G smartphone.

According to Ehtertronics, designing the antenna solution able to support the required slim form factor design, as well as RF specifications was a bit challenging.

Mobile operators and their smartphone suppliers are increasingly focusing on the role that antenna systems play in delivering 3G and 4G performance that's noticeably superior to rival products,” said Laurent Desclos, Ethertronics' President and CEO.

The inclusion of IMD technology in the Samsung Infuse is a testament to our focus on providing the highest performance antenna solutions to Samsung's mobile products.”

In addition, the company announced that it has provided antenna systems for a variety of other Samsung products, including the Ultra Edition and Ultra Edition II handset lines.

Samsung Infuse 4G was recently introduced by AT&T and runs Google's Android 2.2 Froyo platform.

The device comes with one of the largest 4.5-inch Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen displays available on the market, which features 16 million colors and 480 x 800 pixels resolution.

Equipped with a single core ARM Cortex A8 1.2 GHz processor, the Infuse 4G features Samsung's proprietary TouchWiz 3.0 user-friendly interface.

Additionally, it sports an 8-megapixel photo snapper with autofocus, LED flash, touch focus, face and smile detection, as well as camcorder (1080p). The secondary 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera allows users to make video calls.

Other highlights of the Infuse 4G include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n connectivity, Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP support, microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB), as well as integrated GPS.
