MA850.A.LBIC.001 Datasheet, PDF (2/47 Pages) Taoglas antenna solutions – Worldwide 4G Bands including 3G and 2G

1. Introduction
The Colosseum MA850 5in1 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, Wi-Fi and GNSS performance. It is ideal for solutions that do not have space
for mounting the larger Pantheon dome antennas but still require good efficiency and gain.
This unique product, at only 57.4mm tall, delivers powerful worldwide 4G LTE MIMO
antenna technology at 700MHz/800MHz/1700MHz/1800MHz/2600MHz, dual-band Wi-Fi
MIMO, plus GPS-GLONASS-BeiDou for next generation location accuracy. The LTE antenna
also includes legacy 2G and 3G bands to enable fallback using he correct modems in areas
where there is no 4G signal.
Typical Applications include:
- Bus Telematics
- Remote Asset and Pipeline Monitoring
- HD Video over LTE
- First Responder and Emergency Services
- Automotive Vehicle Tracking and Telematics
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. 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 GPS-GLONASS-BeiDou active antenna has been carefully designed to work well on
GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou L1 bands, leading to higher location accuracy and stability of
tracking in urban environments.
Cable length and connector types are customizable. Contact your regional Taoglas sales
office for support.
