The Taoglas MA240 (Genesis) antenna is an omnidirectional, fully IP65 waterproof external M2M antenna. This unique antenna delivers powerful dual antenna technology for worldwide 4G LTE bands at 700/800/1700/1800/2600 MHz, plus GPS/Glonass/Galileo for next-generation location accuracy. 4G wireless applications demand high-speed data uplink and downlink. High efficiency and high gain antennas are necessary to achieve the required signal to noise ratio and throughput required to solve these challenges. There is high isolation between the two LTE antennas to prevent self-interference. Low loss cables are used to keep efficiency high over long cable lengths.
The GPS/Glonass/Galileo antenna has been carefully designed to work equally well on both GPS and Glonass bands, leading to higher location accuracy and stability of tracking in urban environments. If your device requires USA LTE certification with an external antenna then the MA240 is the ideal solution to pass approvals. Typical applications for the MA240 include: HD Video over LTE, First Responder and Emergency Services, and Automotive Vehicle Tracking and Telematics. It was designed to be mounted directly on glass or plastic in the interior of vehicles.
