MA252.A.LB.001 Datasheet, PDF (2/39 Pages) Taoglas antenna solutions – Ideal for IoT and Automotive Applications

1. Introduction
The MA252 Sentinel 2in1 LTE and GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou L1 Antenna is an
omnidirectional, fully IP67 waterproof external M2M antenna for use in telematics,
transportation and remote monitoring applications worldwide. It is designed to be
mounted directly on glass or plastic in the interior of vehicles.
It is the smallest high performance solution in the market, 50% smaller than the
previous generation, with higher efficiency and wider bandwidth to cover emerging
LTE bands. Its performance is comparable with much larger permanent roof mount
antennas and now offers a convenient and economical alternative in-cabin mounting
solution.
Typical applications include;
HD video over LTE
First Responder and Emergency Services
Automotive vehicle tracking
Telematics
It is mounted via high quality, first tier automotive approved, 3M adhesive.
In-house world leading dielectric ceramic antenna technology inside allows for smaller
size antennas without loss in efficiency. It delivers powerful performance for
worldwide 4G LTE bands at 700MHz/800MHz/1700MHz/1800MHz/2600MHz, plus
GPS-GLONASS-BeiDou for next generation location accuracy.
4G wireless applications demand high speed data uplink and downlink. High efficiency
is 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. Low loss cables are used to keep
efficiency high over long cable lengths.
