The Shockwave TLS.01.1F11 is a permanent mount, waterproof, external 2G/3G/4G cellular and GPS antenna operating at 698-960/1575.42/1710-2700MHz with an N type male connector. It has been designed to be used on a Ground Plane. It can be used in mobile and fixed applications for 4G LTE wireless such as:

• Public safety
• HD Video Streaming
• Utilities and Smart Cities
• Fleet Management
• Agricultural
• Industrial

This antenna has superior performance over wide-bands compared to traditional whip antennas. Up to 90% efficiency and with a minimum 2.3dBi peak gain over all cellular bands result when mounted on a 30x30 cm ground plane. Stable radiation patterns over low angles provides consistent gain in the horizontal plane, meaning that it is especially suitable for cellular applications.

A unique indent tab on the base of the antenna allows a wrench to be used to solidly lock the antenna on top of its mounting location, where an N type female connector juts out from a metal panel. Waterproof O-rings around the bottom base prevent water from leaking under the antenna.

The TLS.01 antenna is IP67 waterproof and IP69K resistant against high pressure water jets in commercial cleaning environments, which makes the antenna ideal for 2G/3G/4G/GPS applications either in indoor or in harsh outdoor environments.

The GW.05 dual band Wi-Fi Hinged Rotatable Antenna is a high efficiency monopole antenna with the capacity to cover Wi-Fi 6 frequencies up to 7.125GHz. Compared to other much larger antennas on the market, it has superior wide-band high efficiency characteristics. The bright green colour of the antenna adds a unique quality look and feel to any modern Wi-Fi application point, device or router. It also provides differentiation if using Taoglas other similar looking antennas (such as the black color Taoglas TG.09 cellular antenna) on same
device.

The GW.05, as all monopole antennas, works best connected directly to the ground-plane of the device main PCB or to the outside of a metal housing. However, it still has very good performance (>50%) even without connecting to a ground-plane, making it the best all round small Wi-Fi terminal antenna on the market.

In the un-grounded installation condition, it also comes below the max peak gain requirements for most Wi-Fi modules which are usually 2dBi, so it can comply with FCC regulations. The GW.05 is for Wi-Fi, WLAN, Zigbee, Bluetooth, and 802.11a/b/g/n/ac applications.

Many module manufacturers specify peak gain limits for any antennas that are to be connected to that module. Those peak gain limits are based on free-space conditions. In practice, the peak gain of an antenna tested in free-space can degrade by at least 1 or 2dBi when put inside a device. So ideally you should go for a slightly higher peak gain antenna than mentioned on the module specification to compensate for this effect, giving you better performance.

Upon testing of any of our antennas with your device and a selection of appropriate layout, integration technique, or cable, Taoglas can make sure any of our antennas' peak gain will be below the peak gain limits.

Taoglas can then issue a specification and/or report for the selected antenna in your device that will clearly show it complying with the peak gain limits, so you can be assured you are meeting regulatory requirements for that module.

Many module manufacturers specify peak gain limits for any antennas that are to be connected to that module. Those peak gain limits are based on free-space conditions. In practice, the peak gain of an antenna tested in free-space can degrade by at least 1 or 2dBi when put inside a device. So ideally you should go for a slightly higher peak gain antenna than mentioned on the module specification to compensate for this effect, giving you better performance.

Upon testing of any of our antennas with your device and a selection of appropriate layout, integration technique, or cable, Taoglas can make sure any of our antennas' peak gain will be below the peak gain limits. Taoglas can then issue a specification and/or report for the selected antenna in your device that will clearly show it complying with the peak gain limits, so you can be assured you are meeting regulatory requirements for that module.

For example, a module manufacturer may state that the antenna must have less than 2dBi peak gain, but you don't need to select an embedded antenna that has a peak gain of less than 2dBi in free-space. This will give you a less optimized solution. It is better to go for a slightly higher free-space peak gain of 3dBi or more if available. Once that antenna gets integrated into your device, performance will degrade below this 2dBi peak gain due to the effects of GND plane, surrounding components, and device housing. If you want to be absolutely sure, contact Taoglas and we will test. Choosing a Taoglas antenna with a higher peak gain than what is specified by the module manufacturer and enlisting our help will ensure you are getting the best performance possible without exceeding the peak gain limits.

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. Low loss industrial coax cable is used to achieve high gain and efficiency over long cable length.
