MA170ABI001 Datasheet, PDF (2/16 Pages) Taoglas antenna solutions – MA170.A.BI.001 - Monsoon LTE MIMO(1&2)

1. Introduction
The MA170 antenna is a custom profile, fully IP69K Waterproof external M2M antenna
for use on containers for global telematics services. The MA170 delivers best in class LTE
antenna performance.
Typical applications include:
-HD Video over LTE -First Responder and Emergency Services
-Intelligent Transport Systems
-Internet of Things (IoT market)
-High Definition Video Broadcast Systems
-Wireless LTE MIMO M2M Devices
-Digital Signage
LTE 4G applications demand high speed data uplink and downlink. High efficiency and
high gain MIMO antennas are necessary to achieve the required signal to noise ratio and
throughput required to solve these challenges. Taoglas also takes care to have high
isolation between the two MIMO antennas to prevent self-interference. The MA170 does
not require a ground plane. Low loss cables are used to keep efficiency high over long
cable lengths. In contrast, smaller MIMO antennas with poorer quality thinner cables will
have much reduced efficiency and isolation, which would lead to a large drop in system
throughput or drops, and may indeed not make a system connection at all.
The antenna cable length and connector type can be customizable, please contact your
regional Taoglas sales office for support.
