Description

The Taoglas GuardianX MA9909 is a low profile heavy duty, fully IP67 rated waterproof, adhesive external combination antenna. It combines 9 antenna elements into one enclosure, 1 GPS/GLONASS/Galileo, eight 4G-5G MIMO (600 to 6000 MHz). The Taoglas GuardianX has been designed as a low profile solution for several IoT and Automotive applications where space is at a premium.

This unique product delivers powerful worldwide 5G FR1 MIMO antenna technology up to 8x8 along with GNSS for GPS applications. This is an ideal external combination antenna solution that is used where drilling a hole through the roof of a vehicle or a metal panel for an external antenna is not feasible. The GuardianX can operate at band 71 a newly established 5G band at 600 MHz.

Taoglas takes care to have high isolation between the eight MIMO antennas to prevent self-interference. Low loss 6 GHz rated cables are used to keep efficiency high over long cable lengths.

The Taoglas MA9909 Guardian 8x8 MIMO + GNSS Adhesive Antenna is a robust, low-profile solution designed for IoT and automotive applications where space is limited. It combines nine antenna elements into a single, fully waterproof IP67-rated enclosure, providing comprehensive connectivity with one GPS/GLONASS/Galileo and eight 4G-5G MIMO (600 to 6000 MHz) elements. This makes it ideal for environments where drilling through surfaces for antenna installation is not an option.

The antenna supports the new 5G band at 600 MHz, ensuring optimal performance across a wide frequency range. High isolation between the MIMO elements prevents self-interference, while low-loss 6 GHz rated cables maintain efficiency over extended lengths, making it a reliable choice for high-demand applications.

Constructed from durable polycarbonate, the GuardianX measures 360 x 160 x 16.5 mm and weighs 1.06 kg. It operates efficiently in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C, with nine RF connections via SMA male interfaces. The GNSS functionality is enhanced by an active GPS element with an integrated LNA, providing precise navigation support.

Manufactured by Taoglas, a leader in antenna solutions, this product is suited for telematics, smart-grid, home automation, and remote monitoring, reflecting the company’s commitment to quality and innovation.
