IoT Antenna for First Responder Applications

The?5in1 Adhesive Mount Guardian is the go-to IoT Antenna for First Responder Applications. A popular choice for First Net applications because of its powerful MIMO technology for worldwide 4G LTE bands plus Wifi, plus GPS-GLONASS-GALILEO-BeiDou for location accuracy. This enables designers to cover a wide range of technologies by installing a single antenna. Furthermore, installation is painless because?the antenna can be adhered to the inside panel of the vehicle and reduces the need to cut a hole in the roof. This also means that less cable is needed, thus maximizing the performance of the antenna.

The MA120 antenna is a high performance 450MHz and 868MHz combination thread mount antenna for external use with smart meters, gateways, mesh networks, vehicles and outdoor and indoor assets. It is designed for heavy duty work with extra thick threads. The UV resistant polycarbonate housing is resistant to vandalism and direct attack. At only 29mm high and a diameter of 49mm this unique antenna is the lowest profile and smallest worldwide.

The antenna has been tested in free space and on varying sizes of ground-planes, showing good frequency stability, allowing its use in many different mounting environments.

The IP67 and IP69K rated housing makes it waterproof against short immersion in water, and also against high pressure water jets used in industrial cleaning. A closed cell foam on base prevents water leaking into mounting hole, while also providing a secure seal to a contoured surface.

The standard cable and connector is 1 meter RG316. High quality FEP (Teflon) jacket is used for the cable. This makes the cable very flexible and able to operate in high temperature environments, corrosion resistant. Note this antenna is designed for short range communication in the range of meters to hundreds of meters.

For cable lengths longer than 2 meters or where very long communication ranges are desired, apart from needing a higher transmit power from the transmitter, it is recommended to go with much larger high gain stand-alone whip or fiberglass Omni type antennas, to counteract losses in the cables.

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 singleinput 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 wall-mounted. 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.

The Taoglas GuardianX MA9908.A.001 is a low profile heavy duty, fully IP67 waterproof external antenna. Combining 8 elements into one antenna, 1 GPS/GLONASS/Galileo, 4 LTE MIMO (698 to 960MHz/1710 to 2170MHz/ 2490 to 2690MHz/ 3300 to 3600MHz) and 3 Dual-band Wi-Fi MIMO 2.4-5.8GHz. This unique product delivers powerful worldwide 4G LTE MIMO antenna technology at 700MHz/800MHz/1700MHz/1800MHz/2600MHz and dual band Wi-Fi.

Typical applications include:

• Passenger Bus / Rail / Air Applications.
• Automotive and Heavy Equipment Vehicle Tracking and Telematics
• Remote Asset and Pipeline Monitoring
• HD Video over LTE
• First Responder and Emergency Services
• M2M Applications/IoT

LTE 4G 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, increased number of drops, and may indeed not make a system connection at all.

Cable length and connector types are customizable. Contact your regional Taoglas sales office for support.

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.
