5-in-1 combo antenna

19 July 2017 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

The MA950 Guardian is a combination panel antenna designed for IoT gateway and router devices. Made by Taoglas, it is a low profile, 5-in-1, wall and adhesive mount antenna that is heavy-duty and fully IP67 waterproof. It can be used by RF professionals in IoT gateways and routers, HD video streaming, transportation and remote monitoring applications.

This antenna delivers powerful MIMO ­antenna technology for worldwide 4G LTE bands at 698- 960 MHz/1710-2170 MHz/2490-2690 MHz/3300-3600 MHz bands, dual-band 2,4/5,8 GHz Wi-Fi, plus GPS-GLONASS-Galileo-BeiDou for location accuracy. It enables designers to cover a wide range of technologies by installing a single antenna.

4G wireless applications demand high-speed data uplink and downlink, for which high efficiency and high gain MIMO antennas are necessary to achieve the required signal to noise ratio and throughput. Taoglas also takes care to have high isolation among these antennas to prevent self-interference. Low-loss cables are used to keep efficiency high over long cable lengths.

The housing is IP67 waterproof and comes with 3M foam adhesive. The antenna can be mounted internally or externally on a vehicle. The MA950 comes with one metre, low-loss KSR-200P coaxial cables for the LTE and Wi-Fi antennas, and RG174 coaxial cable for the GNSS antenna as standard.

Customised cables and connector versions are also available.
