The MA130 Hercules antenna is a GPS/GLONASS and ISM Band 868MHz combination

2in1 high performance solution for remote monitoring. The integrated metal

thread-mount allows for external use on vehicles and outdoor assets worldwide.

The 868MHz ISM Band antenna has an inbuilt ground-plane and comparatively

wide-bandwidth of 30MHz+, at a minimum return loss of -10dB from 850MHz to

880MHz, delivering complete stability of performance when mounted on a

ground-plane or in free-space, thus permitting a wide variety of installations. The

omni-directional gain pattern, with a peak gain of 4dBi when using shorter cable

lengths, ensures constant reception and transmission.

The GPS/GLONASS antenna has been optimized to work on both GPS and GLONASS

bands, allowing the antenna to see the maximum amount of satellites in the sky and

improving tracking accuracy enormously especially in built up areas, such as urban

canyons where traditional GPS-only solutions struggle to maintain a lock driving

around corners. A front-end SAW filter attenuates any nearby out-of-band wireless

transmissions so the GPS LNA is not driven into compression or damaged.

The Hercules is also prized by the leading wireless device brands globally due to its

unique mechanical construction. The compact size and rugged polycarbonate

construction, which can withstand direct attack and hazards such as tree-branches,

coupled with a waterproof rating of IP67 and IP69K (waterproof against high pressure

industrial cleaning from top and bottom sides) are un-matched in the industry.

The standard option comes with 200mm cables and SMA(M) connectors. The cable

length and connector are customizable. Taoglas supplies low loss extension cables

according to your requirement. Maximum cable length should not go beyond 5 meters.

The Hercules is also available in White. Contact your regional sales office for further
