A multiband antenna for a wireless device includes a housing base portion, housing antenna portion and a feed contact. The housing base portion configured to receive radio circuitry thereon and include a first peripheral edge and a first conductive material. The housing antenna portion spaced away from and substantially opposed to the housing base portion, including a second peripheral edge and a second conductive material. The housing base and antenna portions together forming an outermost housing of the mobile wireless device, enclosing the radio circuitry there between. The first and second peripheral edges forming opposed lengthwise edges of a slot having a width formed by a distance between the first and second peripheral edges. The feed contact coupling the housing base portion, the housing antenna portion and the radio circuitry for providing at least one driving frequency to at least the housing antenna portion from the radio circuitry.
