Combo Antenna: 4-in-1 LTEx2 GPS WiFi - Adhesive / Magnet Mount

Combo Antenna: 4-in-1 LTEx2 GPS WiFi - Adhesive / Magnet Mount

Waterproof / weatherproof antenna with through-hole mount and adhesive mount. A four-cable multiband antenna: Four internal antennas that provide coverage for three different wireless devices:

• Four antennas in one: Has four internal antennas and three cables / connectors:
• Use for 2 LTE connections (main and AUX), + GPS + Dual-Band WiFi (2.4GHz and 5.8 GHz)
• Has four antenna cables
• Default configuration: 6FT cables to SMA (for LTE & GPS) and RP-SMA (for WiFi)
• Optional configuration in stock: All 4 connectors to U.FL (12-inch cables)
• The differences between this antenna (AL2G1W1) and AL2W1G1 are the following:
  • AL2G1W1 has the cables attached to the side, so that the antenna can mount flat on a surface (using magnetic-mounting and/or adhesive-mounting) with no need to drill a hole in the mounting surface (AL2W1G1 is the antenna on this page)
  • AL2W1G1 has a mounting stud in the rear, with the cables coming through the stud from the rear of the antenna.
• For business customers that need to order less than ten samples for testing, please contact Customer Service

Omni-Directional Dual-band MIMO Antenna:

• Four internal antennas, and has four separate antenna cables; cables terminate with SMA-male connectors for LTE and RP-SMA for WiFi and Bluetooth (we can customize connectors for large orders).
• We can customize cable-length for large orders.
• Puck style, permanent mount
• Typically used as vehicle antenna (cars, trucks) but useful and applicable for many applications.

Mounting / Installation Options

• The back-side of the antenna has an adhesive and is also magnetic.
• We have another version that has a a stud-screw through-hole mount.

Compatibility with wireless standards & applications:

• This omni directional antenna's  range of frequency band  compatibility in the 2.4 and 5.8GHz  frequency band ranges makes it suitable and compliant for all the following applications:
• IoT wireless  & M2M : Bluetooth , ZigBee , and ISM . Since it is vertically polarized , it is compatible with many machine to machine communication applications, remote monitoring, and telemetry applications. 
• WiFi applications: Dual Band 2.4GHz and 5.8 GHz: 802.11AC, 802.11N, 802.11G, 802.11B

• LTE / 4G & GSM /3G: Broadband design for 4G / LTE and 3G / GSM systems: 4G networks
  • GSM is 3G wireless (Global System for Mobile Communication)
• US domestic LTE: 700 MHz band: AT&T Mobility, Verizon.
• Global LTE: 2600 MHz band (2.6GHz)
• GSM bands 824-894 and 1850.2 - 1909.8 (US and Latin America / Mexico)
• 900MHz ISM Band. Can also be made to operate on other VHF and UHF frequencies within the ISM frequency bands.
• Non Line of Sight (NLOS): 900 MHz band is best for passing through trees and forests.
• IoT wireless & M2M: Compatible with many machine to machine communication applications, remote monitoring, and telemetry applications using LTE-m, 4G / LTE, 3G / GSM, LoRa. (Compatible because it is vertically polarized).
• WiMax frequency bands 2300 MHz / 2500 MHz / 2600 MHz (2.3GHz, 2.5GHz, 2.6GHz)
• The GPS antenna has SAW to filter other signals.
• The GPS internal antenna has a metal shield on its bottom side as a ground plane
• Data Alliance's high-quality soldered terminations of SMA connectors with soldering provide a low-loss connection with discontinuities kept to a minimum.

Conversion to Iridium Satellite Coverage: For all of our antennas that cover the GPS frequency 1.5GHz: We can convert the 1.5GHz GPS antenna to 1.6GHz in order to cover the Iridium (Satellite) frequency. This customization takes about 4 extra weeks in production and will increase the cost of the antenna by $1.75 per antenna.

UL certification / rating of the flammability of the antenna housing (ABS):

• Test Method: UL-94
• The flame class of this ABS material is HB.

Beamwidth: H-Plane: 360-degrees: The two internal omni-directional antennas receive and send signals from 360 degrees all around. 

Cable is double-shielded, low-loss and very flexible. The cable-type is equivalent or better than LMR-100: Coax with black jacket has the same or better signal-loss-per-meter and flexibility as LMR100, and less attenuation (signal loss) than RG174. The higher quality of the cable of this antenna translates into lower loss/better performance. These antenna cables are rated for outdoor use and are also suitable for indoor use. Recommended tightest continuous bend radius is 1.1 inch (28mm).

RP-SMA and SMA Connector Characteristics:

• RP-SMA = Reverse Polarity SMA. Also known as SMA-RP, SMA-R, SMA RP, SMA R.
• RP-SMA and SMA gender is counter-intuitive: The gender is referring to the pins inside-not the threads. RP-SMA male have threads on the inside. More details regarding RP-SMA gender determination. 
• RP-SMA-male and SMA are also called "plugs" and the respective female connectors are also called "jacks." 
• RP-SMA and SMA are round screw-type connectors, with medium-sized, threaded coupling connectors that are rated for frequencies from the lowest (DC) up to 18GHz.
• SMA-male connector fits items that have an SMA (female) jack/connector.
• We offer an SMA wrench to assist in installing antennas, cables and adapters with SMA or RP-SMA connector(s).
• Composition of SMA male and RP-SMA male connectors:
• 96% brass-copper alloy
• Less than 4% lead content (ROHS Compliant)
• 0.1% Chromium VI compound
• 0.01% (by weight) Cadmium / cadmium compounds
• 0.1% Mercury
• 0.1% PBBs
• 0.1% PBDE
