Written by EAD Admin on 23rd August 2019. Posted in GNSS Antennas.

The PCTEL 8178D GPS GLONASS antenna network timing antenna is a high gain conical antenna design with superior out of band rejection technology

The 8178D antenna from PCTEL is a time sync antenna offering dual band frequency support for GPS L1 and GLONASS L1 frequencies. It has compact, conical form factor that can aid run-off and also minimise perching. The 8178D is suitable for any global GPS GLONASS time synchronisation application that requires an externally mounted antenna

The 8178D antenna has a built in LNA (low noise amplifier) and offers an effective gain of 40 dB. The antenna is terminated with TNC-Female connector and has a couple of options for pipe mounting. Please contact SAS for the mounting options for this antenna.

As alternative GPS GLONASS timing reference antenna, you could consider the GNSS1-TMG antenna.

The Laird TRA6927M3 antennas are also very popular solutions. Again bundled with a magnetic mount and called the LTE-HIGAIN-MAG, they are a robust and effective 4G LTE magnetic mount antenna. Alternatively a permanent mount version the TRA6927M3PW-001 is available for purchase where a through-hole mount antenna is required.

From Sirio Antenna based in Italy, there are a number of excellent 4G external antennas available including the SMP-4G-MIMO panel antenna, the HGO-4G-LTE High gain omni and the SMP-4G-LTE.

The AllDisc and SmartDisc from Smarteq offer excellent RF performance for low profile dome and puck antennas respectively. The 710211 antenna from Smarteq is particularly popular.

In addition to the above market leading quality antennas, the most popular EAD LTE antennas can be ordered in small quantities via Connex including the LMO and CMO MIMO antennas as well as RF400 cables.
