MA220LB001 Datasheet, PDF (2/25 Pages) Taoglas antenna solutions – Optimus Ma 220 2in1 GPS-GLONASS-GALILEO LTE

1. Introduction
The Optimus MA220 is a combination high performance GPS-GLONASS-GALILEO and
4G/3G/2G LTE (plus GSM /CDMA/PCS/DCS/UMTS/GPRS/EDGE/HSPA) antenna to
simplify Automotive Telematic and Fleet management systems worldwide. Its high
quality low profile covert housing can be attached onto the glass or even out of sight
under the dashboard. This combination of a high gain GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO antenna
and a LTE antenna is ideal for those applications that require durability, small size and
covert installation, and reliable reception and transmission crossing through different
mobile networks.
The LTE cellular antenna function covers all main LTE and 3G/2G cellular bands
worldwide. It has been designed to work equally well when mounted on glass or on
plastic. It is not suitable for mounting on metal.
The GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO function means increased accuracy and reliability of
location. A front-end SAW protects the LNA from burnout by nearby out of band cellular
transmissions and also significantly reduces any compression and consequent reduction
of sensitivity.
The standard version has 3 metres RG174 cable and SMA(M) connector on both
GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO and LTE. For even higher gain and efficiency we recommend if
you can to use shorter cable lengths, as shown in the charts below. The cable lengths
and connector types are completely customizable according to customer request,
subject to a minimum order quantity.
The slim housing is fully IP67 waterproof. A separate automotive approved 3M adhesive
pad is provided, allowing the antenna to be mounted correctly facing through glass, or
directly onto a plastic surface like the dashboard of a vehicle.
Note if US LTE network certification is required contact Taoglas for advice on correct
antenna choice.
