The Taoglas MA145 is a high performance 3-in-1 combination GNSS, 5G/4G & WiFi permanent mount antenna in a compact housing at only 48.5mm tall and 50mm in diameter. Typical applications for this antenna include: Smart Metering and Remote Monitoring, Digital Signage, and Transportation and Telematics.
The GPS/Glonass/Galileo antenna has stable gain and radiation patterns on all bands. The 5G/4G antenna, covers all worldwide LTE bands including many sub 6 GHz, 5G FR1 bands and also includes fallback to 3G/2G bands where required. The WiFi antenna is dual band covering both 2.4 and 5.8 GHz.
This antenna works well with short cable lengths below 1m on plastic structures. However, a minimum of 1m cable lengths is recommended for stable antenna performance. When mounted on a ground-plane, the MA145 functions well at all frequencies with cables up to 3 meters in length. The MA145 antenna can be mounted on metal and plastic structures but if the lower frequency bands are required, it functions best when mounted on a metal ground-plane. It is mounted from the inside of the user device enclosure and the small thread allows for installation in situations where space is minimal. The MA145 can be mounted on a metal enclosure but it is not suitable for mounting on a metal enclosure where the cable will be located inside the enclosure.
The IP67 rated housing is made from a durable, UV resistant ABS material that makes it resistant to vandalism. An integrated rubber O-ring under the enclosure prevents water ingress under the antenna.
