Description
The MA241 Genesis antenna is an omni-directional, fully IP67 waterproof external M2M antenna for use in telematics, transportation and remote monitoring applications. It is designed to be mounted directly on glass or plastic in the interior of vehicles.
This unique antenna delivers powerful MIMO antenna technology for worldwide 4G LTE bands between 700 and 2700 MHz. It enables designers to use only one antenna that covers all common frequencies for LTE globally.
4G wireless applications demand high speed data uplink and downlink. High efficiency and high gain MIMO antennas are necessary to achieve the required signal to noise ratio and throughput required to solve these challenges. Taoglas also takes care to have high isolation between the two MIMO antennas to prevent self-interference. Low loss cables are used to keep efficiency high over long cable lengths. In contrast, smaller MIMO antennas with poorer quality thinner cables will have much reduced efficiency and isolation, which would lead to a large drop in system throughput or drops, and may indeed not make a system connection at all.
- 4G LTE 2x2 MIMO
- IP67 ingress protected
- Wideband covering all cellular bands from 698 to 2700 MHz
- 3 metre CFD-200 cables with SMA Male straight connectors
- Fully customizable cable lengths and connectors
The Taoglas MA241 Genesis 2x2 MIMO 4G Adhesive Antenna is an advanced, omni-directional solution for telematics, transportation, and remote monitoring applications. With an IP67 waterproof rating, this external antenna is ideal for vehicle interiors, adhering directly to glass or plastic surfaces. It supports worldwide 4G LTE bands from 700 to 2700 MHz, enabling seamless global connectivity with a single antenna.
Designed for high-performance applications, the MA241 utilises MIMO technology to enhance data speeds and improve signal quality, crucial for robust 4G networks. It features high efficiency and gain to meet demanding signal requirements, and the high isolation between MIMO elements minimises self-interference, ensuring reliable operation. Equipped with low-loss cables, it maintains high efficiency over extended lengths, unlike smaller, less effective antennas.
Constructed from durable ABS plastic and polycarbonate, the antenna measures 206 x 12.4 x 68 mm and weighs 0.21 kg. It operates efficiently between -40 °C and 85 °C, with 2 SMA male connectors for RF input. Customisable cable lengths and connector options are available to suit specific needs.
Certified to ISO 9001 standards, Taoglas antennas are trusted for quality and performance, making them suitable for a range of M2M applications, including smart-grid, metering, and medical devices.
