Taoglas MA130 (Hercules) 2-in-1 Antenna (GPS/Glonass/Galileo and ISM Band 868)

Taoglas MA130 2:1 GPS/Glonass/Galileo & 868 MHz ISM Band Antenna with Permanent Mount

The Taoglas MA130 (Hercules) antenna is a GPS/Glonass/Galileo and ISM Band 868 MHz combination high performance solution for remote monitoring. The ISM Band antenna has a built-in ground-plane and comparatively wide-bandwidth of 30 MHz+, at a minimum return loss of -10dB from 850 MHz to 880 MHz. This delivers complete stability of performance when mounted on a ground-plane or in free-space. The omnidirectional gain pattern, with a peak gain of 4dBi when using shorter cable lengths, ensures constant reception and transmission. The GPS/Glonass/Galileo antenna has been optimized to work on both GPS/Galileo and Glonass bands, allowing the antenna to see the maximum amount of satellites in the sky and improving tracking accuracy especially in built up areas, such as urban canyons where traditional GPS-only solutions struggle to maintain a lock driving around corners.

A front-end SAW filter attenuates any nearby out-of-band wireless transmissions so the GPS/Galileo LNA is not driven into compression or damaged. The MA130 is compact in size with an IP65 rated enclosure and rugged polycarbonate construction, which can withstand environmental hazards. The integrated metal thread-mount allows for external use on vehicles and outdoor assets worldwide. The standard option comes with 200mm cables and SMA(M) connectors. Maximum cable length should not go beyond 5 meters.
