*** TO BE DISCONTINUED *** This product will be discontinued on January 31st, 2025. It is being replaced by the MA1290.
The Taoglas MA1280 (Raptor III) is a high performance 7-in-1 Sharkfin style combination antenna. It combines active multiband GNSS (GPS/Glonass/BeiDou/Galileo), 5G/4G Cellular MIMO, Dual-Band WiFi MIMO, Active AM/FM, and LMR antennas in a small, robust housing. The whip antenna attached to the rear of the enclosure covers the LMR bands (700-900 MHz) used for specialist communication systems as well as the Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) bands (380 - 470 MHz). It is connected via a threaded M6 female connector to the M6 male connector on the enclosure. Low loss 1.5DS cables are used that can allow for longer cable installations if required. The cellular antennas cover all 4G, and the new Sub 6 GHz 5G cellular bands offering efficiencies of up to 80%. Fallback to 3G and 2G bands are possible where 5G and 4G is not accessible. The high performing WiFi antennas cover both the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz WiFi bands.
Typical Applications for the MA1280 include: Transportation and Fleet Management, Autonomous Driving and Robotics, and FirstNet, First Responders and Emergency Services. The MA1280 has been engineered to be mounted directly on the vehicle roof. The enclosure is impact and UV resistant, is IP67 rated, and requires just one single M20 hole. This single hole mounting substantially reduces installation time & cost and reduces damage to the vehicle.
