MA412ABI003 Datasheet, PDF (2/35 Pages) Taoglas antenna solutions – MA412 Storm 2in1 Screwmount Antenna

1. Introduction
The Storm MA412 LTE MIMO antenna is a low profile, heavy-duty, fully IP67
waterproof external M2M antenna for use in worldwide telematics applications which
require best in class LTE performance.
At only 31mm high, the Storm is the world’s lowest profile global telematics antenna
solution. It delivers powerful worldwide 4G LTE MIMO antenna technology while also
covering the 3G and 2G bands.
Typical applications
-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 MA412 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.
