The MIMO communication system has been one of the most promising technologies, well suited for high data rate communication. A MIMO (Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output) system use at least two antenna structures and is more advantageous than single-input single-output (SISO) in an aspect of increasing channel capacity and reducing transmitting power. MIMO antennas should have compact structure, high radiation efficiency, low envelope correlation, and high isolation between the signal ports.

In small structures (antennas spaced closely), the application of MIMO technology has been restricted by high degree of coupling and spatial correlation between antenna elements due to the limited available space. The isolation between antennas become critical as it can deteriorate the system performance and decreases channel capacity.

The Hercules MA510 MIMO antenna is low profile, heavy-duty, fully IP67 waterproof external M2M antenna for use, transportation and remote monitoring applications. This unique omnidirectional antenna provide high efficiency and high isolation between antennas elements in a heavy-duty low profile compact structure, delivering powerful MIMO antenna technology for Wi-Fi 802.11n and emerging 802.11ac.

The antenna screws down permanently onto a roof or metal panel and can be pole or wallmounted. The two antenna elements are vertically polarized.

For industries such as remote monitoring, smart meter systems, construction equipment, public safety at only 29mm high, the Hercules MA510 MIMO antenna provides an unobtrusive, robust, rugged antenna that is durable even in extreme environments. The antenna housing is completely waterproof to IP67, and also to IP69K, which means it is waterproof against high pressure water jets used in industrial environments for cleaning.

Also available in black.

MIMO communication systems are needed in high speed wireless applications. A MIMO (Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output) system uses at least two antenna structures and is more advantageous than single-input single-output (SISO) by increasing channel capacity and reducing transmitting power. MIMO antennas should have compact structure, high radiation efficiency, low envelope correlation, and high isolation between the signal ports. In small structures (antennas spaced closely), the application of MIMO technology has been restricted by high degree of coupling and spatial correlation between antenna elements due to the limited available space. The isolation between antennas become critical as it can deteriorate the system performance and decreases channel capacity. Taoglas have designed the Hercules MA515 antenna to meet these demanding requirements The Hercules MA515 MIMO 2.4GHz 3dBi antenna is low profile, heavy-duty, fully IP67 and IP69K waterproof external M2M antenna for use, transportation and remote monitoring applications. This unique omnidirectional 3dBi antenna provide high efficiency and high isolation (>20dB), between antennas elements in a heavy-duty low profile compact structure, delivering powerful MIMO antenna technology for Wi-Fi 802.11n. The antenna screws down permanently onto a roof or metal panel and can be pole or wallmounted. The two antenna elements are vertically polarized, matching well with the polarization of most wireless routers antennas. An envelope correlation co-efficiency of only 0.2 ensures good performance with the MIMO module. For industries such as remote monitoring, smart meter systems, construction equipment, public safety at only 29mm high, the Hercules MA515 MIMO antenna provides an unobtrusive, robust, rugged antenna that is durable even in extreme environments.

The MA520 Hercules 2in 1 Penta Band Cellular-2.4/5.8GHz Antenna is the smallest package high performance screw-mount (permanent mount) antenna available, for external use on vehicles and outdoor assets worldwide. Everything is in the one housing reducing the need for multiples antenna installations. This is the ideal antenna for 3G gateway routers that provide Wi-Fi hotspots. It has been designed for heavy duty work with extra thick threads; with durable UVresistant ABS housing is resistant to vandalism and direct attack. At only 29mm high and 49mm in diameter this antenna enables covert operation and its quality is proven by growing adoption by many of the world's largest wireless brands worldwide. The standard cable length is 1 meter; the antenna can work to cable lengths of 2 meters. The Hercules MA520 exceptional design means it can work equally well mounted on or without groundplane. The antenna housing is completely waterproof to IP67, and also to IP69K, which means it is waterproof against high pressure water jets used in industrial environments for cleaning.

The Ultima MA530 MIMO antenna is low profile, heavy-duty, fully IP67 waterproof external M2M antenna for use, transportation and remote monitoring applications. This unique omnidirectional antenna provide high efficiency and high isolation between antennas elements in a heavy-duty low profile compact structure, delivering powerful MIMO antenna technology for Wi-Fi 802.11n and emerging 802.11ac.

The antenna screws down permanently onto a roof or metal panel and can be pole or wall-mounted. One antenna elements is vertically polarized and one is horizontally polarized to increase the isolation between antennas.

The Spartan MA.600 antenna is a heavy-duty, fully IP67 waterproof external M2M antenna for use in telematics, transportation and remote monitoring applications.

The Spartan is unique in the market because it combines a 3in1 GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO, Cellular (2G and 3G) and Wi-Fi, heavy-duty antenna with high efficiency in a compact format. The antenna screws down permanently onto a roof or metal panel and can be pole or wall-mounted with a metal bracket.

For industries such as commercial vehicle telematics, remote monitoring, smart meter systems and construction equipment, the Spartan provides a robust, rugged antenna that is durable, even in extreme environments.

All while still maintaining 20dB isolation between antennas. It uses high-shielded PTFE dielectric ultra low-loss cables that maintain low attenuation at all frequency bands, with an average 0.3dB per meter (0.1dB per foot), compared to 0.7dB for RG58 and 1.2dB for RG174. Because of this, the Spartan maximizes chances of passing PTCRB and network approvals first time. The Spartan also has excellent GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO reception without need to attach to an external ground-plane due to coupling to its unique own metal base.

Note: for ground-isolation antennas use the MA.605 version with Isolation Gaskets.
