The Taoglas MA172 (Monsoon) is a low profile combination antenna. It integrates high-performing LTE and WiFi antennas with an active GNSS antenna that supports both the GPS L1 and Glonass L1 bands. Dual GPS/Glonass systems can accelerate time to first fix, especially in challenging environments such as urban canyons or any environment where a large portion of the sky is blocked. A front-end SAW filter protects the GNSS antenna’s LNA from potentially damaging out-of-band wireless transmissions, ensuring that it can be used in environments where these signals might be encountered.
All antennas are enclosed in a fully IP67 rated waterproof housing, designed for use in the most rugged of environments. Typical applications include: HD Video over LTE, First Responder and Emergency Services, High Definition Video Broadcast Systems, and Digital Signage.
Both the LTE antenna and the WiFi antenna are designed for high efficiency, even without a ground plane. Low loss cables are used to keep efficiency high over long cable lengths.
