MIMO-3-17 - A-MIMO-0003-V2-17 - 7-in-1 Transportation & Automotive Antenna

A-MIMO-0003-V2-17 - 7-in-1 Transportation & Automotive Antenna

The MIMO-3-17 is a 7-in-1 high performance multi frequency antenna within a single housing, providing four cellular, two Wi-Fi and one GPS/GLONASS antenna. The four cellular MIMO antennas (for 2G/3G/4G) cover the contemporary 698 MHz to 2700 MHz bands, as well as the new emerging LTE and 5G spectrum for 450 MHz and 3.5 GHz CBRS bands, which is becoming popular for LTE across the various international cellular network operators. The ultra-wideband performance of the antenna allows it to be used across different operators and technologies and is ready for future cellular technologies up to 3.8 GHz for 5G applications. The antenna also provides two separate dualband Wi-Fi antennas, providing concurrent 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz on each antenna with 2x2 MIMO capability. The seventh antenna is a high-performance active GPS/GLONASS system operating down to -40°C. The MIMO-3-17 exceeds the performance of most competitors due to the attention to the design of this high-performance antenna. The radiation patterns of all radiating elements provide an excellent balance between omnidirectionality, pattern diversity and good radiation abilities at the desired elevation. This is an important criterion for the transportation and marine market which the antenna was specifically designed for. Main applications are for commercial/industrial vehicles, marine, M2M and other IoT systems using a wide range of radio technologies, while remaining futureproof over the wide frequency band.
