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 is designed for broad compatibility across the 2.4 and 5.8GHz frequency bands, making it suitable and compliant for a wide range of wireless applications:

IoT wireless and M2M Communication

Supports key IoT and machine-to-machine protocols including:

• IoT wireless  & M2M : Bluetooth , ZigBee, Wi-Fi HaLow and ISM and LoRa
• Optimized for remote monitoring, telemetry, and M2M applications
• Vertical polarization ensures strong compatibility with a variety of wireless communication systems, including LTE-M, 4G/LTE, and 3G/GSM

WiFi Standards (Dual-Band Support)

• Fully compatible with 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz WiFi networks
• Supports 802.11N, 802.11G, 802.11B, 802.11AH protocols

LTE, 4G, and GSM / 3G Support

• Broadband design supports:
• 4G / LTE networks including US domestic LTE on the 700 MHz band (used by AT&T and Verizon)
• Global LTE on the 2600 MHz band (2.6GHz)
• 3G / GSM bands at 824–894 MHz and 1850.2–1909.8 MHz, used in the US, Latin America, and Mexico
• GSM is 3G wireless (Global System for Mobile Communication 3G standard)

900 MHz ISM frequency bands & Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) Use

• Operates effectively on the 900 MHz ISM band, known for:
• Penetrating trees, foliage, and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions
• May also be configured to work on other VHF and UHF frequencies within the ISM band

WiMAX Support

• Compatible with WiMAX frequencies at:
• 2300 MHz (2.3GHz)
• 2500 MHz (2.5GHz)
• 2600 MHz (2.6GHz)

GPS Functionality

• GPS module includes SAW filtering to suppress unwanted signals
• Internal GPS antenna is equipped with a metal ground plane for improved signal integrity

High-Quality SMA Connector Termination

• Built with Data Alliance’s precision soldered SMA connectors
• Offers low-loss RF connections with minimal discontinuities for optimal signal performance.

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
