MIMO LTE antenna platforms are not one size fits all

Written by EAD Admin on 18th October 2019. Posted in News.

In considering MIMO LTE antenna solutions for your application not all product offerings are equal. In addition, not all solutions will be suitable for your project.

A supplier with a range of many flavours of MIMO LTE antenna can greatly assist your quest for the best possible wireless deployment. This range should cover as a minimum blade antennas, low profile antennas, magnetic antennas and outdoor omni-directional and directional antennas.

A modular range of products allows the customer the choice to pick the correct product option. Take a low profile puck antenna for example, you may have the option of a MIMO LTE permanent mount puck antenna. This however might not quite meet your requirements, but the option of having such an antenna with an integrated WiFI element or an integrated GNSS element might be more suitable. Notwithstanding those options, it may be that you do not want to drill a hole in the skin of vehicle, cabinet or kiosk and a magnetic mount MIMO LTE antenna is preferable. In this case once again, the options of 2 x LTE, 2 x LTE + GNSS or 2 x LTE + WiFi are welcome to help you meet the requirements of your installation.

In terms outdoor MIMO antennas, a similar principle applies. Directional or omni-directional radiation patterns are important and how to mount the antenna, wall, pole or cabinet mount – a solution needs to be able to address these requirements. Also the possibility to marry these antennas with custom length low loss cables such as RF240 and RF400 rather that being offer a fixed length cable solution at 5M.

EAD is excellently placed to help you with this product options. Many of our antenna solutions are based on modular platforms meaning that we can mix and match radiating elements to deliver exactly the antenna our customers need. In addition, we have access to a broad portfolio of world-class products in our SAS product porfolio which augment and enhance our offerings. For one-off single unit requirements, many of our antennas can be purchased via our sister company’s webshop.

4 suggestions for low profile 4G LTE antennas

Written by EAD Admin on 9th October 2017. Posted in News.

Roof and enclosure-mounted low profile 4G LTE antennas are in demand as the IoT bandwagon rolls on so here are 4 suggestions for permanent mount puck style antennas for your application:

4G LTE MIMO puck antenna

This is a two element puck antenna, called the CMO, incorporating two antenna elements operating from 690-960/1710-2690 MHz for 4G LTE applications. Permanently mount by way of stud underneath and locking nut, this antenna has a gasket underneath that provides a waterproof seal once mounted. The antenna mounts onto a ground plane or metal surface and has one cable for each antenna element. Ideal for Wireless CCTV, security and broadband applications, the CMO offers robust RF performance in a compact package.

4G LTE + WiFi puck antenna

Based on the CMO antenna mechanical design, this antenna is called the CLW. It offers 1 x 4G LTE element and 1 x dual band WiFi element for permanent mounting onto a groundplane or metal surface. Suitable for applications where concurrent LTE and WiFi communications are required, the antenna lends itself well to fixed and/or mobile installations.

4G LTE MIMO + GNSS puck antenna

The CMG antenna is also very much based on the CMO antenna. It offers 2 x 4G LTE elements, but also with an added active GPS/GLONASS antenna element. This enables LTE communications concurrently with GPS/GLONASS positioning. Mounted on a metal vehicle roof, this antenna provides a watertight and robust solution for mobile IoT installations.

4G LTE, WiFi + GNSS puck antenna

The CLWG antenna is based on the same blueprint as the CMG antenna, however we have replaced 1 x 4G LTE with a dual band WiFi element. This delivers 1 x 4G LTE, 1 x WiFi and 1 x GNSS in compact and robust package suitable for multiband telematics application where installing 2 or 3 antennas is undesirable.

All these low profile 4G LTE antennas are based on a proven common platform that can be customised if required. Please feel free to use our Antenna Configurator to request a solution that can be designed for your application.

The CLWG is a combined 4G WiFi GNSS low profile puck antenna with one feed for each antenna element i.e one 4G/LTE multiband element, one 2.4/5 GHz WiFi element and one GPS/GLONASS element.

Designed for permanent mounting via a mounting stud onto a metal surface, the CLWG is a compact antenna for multiband wireless deployments in either fixed or mobile applications. The CLWG is highly useful in environments where space is limited or three separate antennas are undesirable.

As standard, the cables are 3M long and each terminated with SMA-Male plug connector.

For simply 2 x LTE and GNSS, you could consider the CMG antenna.

GPS560 – GPS GLONASS mobile magnetic antenna

Written by EAD Admin on 30th August 2017. Posted in GPS & GNSS Antennas.

The GPS560 is a GPS GLONASS mobile magnetic antenna offering a cost-effective magnetic-mount solution for mobile GNSS applications. It is designed for fleet management, telematics and asset tracking deployments where the antenna should be roof mounted or mounted onto a metal surface or bracket.

Housed in an aesthetically pleasing enclosure, the GPS560 is supplied with 3M RG-174 and SMA-Male connector as standard, but other cable and connector configurations are possible.

The GPS560 antenna has dimensions of 45x45x14.6mm and has a LNA gain of 27 dB

For a GPS only version, we have the GPS460 available in magnetic mount and the GPS450 in adhesive mount options.

CMG – Dual LTE GNSS puck antenna

Written by EAD Admin on 21st August 2017. Posted in GPS & GNSS Antennas.

The CMG antenna is an IP67 dual LTE GNSS puck antenna (2 x LTE + 1 x GPS/GLONASS) designed for mobile as well as fixed LTE applications.

Housed in a very robust package, the CMG is mounted by way of a threaded mounting stud with the 3 cables exiting through the mounting stud.

Once mounted via a 20mm hole, the CMG is sealed and waterproof and suitable for mounting onto vehicles, industrial machinery and enclosures. The recommended cable length is up to 3M. With two LTE elements, the CMG supports MIMO routers for LTE and offers GPS/GLONASS signal reception for positioning. It is recommended that the CMG is mounted onto a metal surface.

Our CLW and our CLWG platforms offer LTE with WiFI or LTE with WiFi and GNSS respectively.

The formal part number for the CMG is FCMG35343.

CLG – low profile LTE GNSS puck antenna

Written by EAD Admin on 19th July 2017. Posted in GPS & GNSS Antennas.

The CLG is a LTE GNSS puck antenna with one 4G/LTE multiband element and one GPS/GLONASS element. Mounted via a stud underneath, the CLG is low profile and designed for continuous outdoor use on vehicles, enclosures, cabinets and other devices for applications such as telematics, wireless CCTV, security and telemetry/remote monitoring.

Fed by one cable for the 4G/LTE multiband element and one cable for the GPS/GLONASS, the CLG puck antenna is a compact and robust antenna based on the proven CPO platform. This antenna is IP67 rated when mounted correctly onto a flat surface.
