Antennas

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 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.

The Spartan MA600.W antenna is a white, 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, 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. The white color is ideal for mounting on white truck roofs or cabs or industrial equipment.

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.

The Spartan MA602 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 (3G and 2G) and IRIDIUM, 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.

Customized cables and connectors version available.

The Spartan MA603 antenna is a low profile, heavy-duty, fully IP67 waterproof external M2M antenna for use in telematics, transportation and remote monitoring applications.

The Spartan MA603 antenna is unique in the market because it combines 3in1 GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO, Cellular (3G/2G) and 915MHz antennas in a heavy-duty structure with high efficiency in a low profile compact format at 35mm (1.38") profile Height. The antenna screws down permanently onto a roof or metal panel and can be pole or wall-mounted.

For industries such as commercial vehicle telematics, remote monitoring, smart meter systems, construction equipment, at only 35mm high, the Spartan provides an unobtrusive, robust, rugged antenna that is durable even in extreme environments.

Custom designed integrated wall mounted and pole mounted brackets are available for the Spartan antennas. These patent pending mounts allow for 180 degrees freedom of movement of the antennas for ease of positioning while also preventing access to the cables so they cannot be cut by vandals or thieves and also protecting the cables from long term weather exposure. The removal of unsightly cables also leads to a cleaner more professional installation and look, and makes the antenna less identifiable and more unobtrusive. Customized cable sleeves can be supplied for extra protection where required.
