Laird Technologies has announced the release of its asset tracking World Cellular and GPS Band antenna.
The antenna supports AMPS, GSM, PCS and DCS bands and is ground plane independent. This cost-effective antenna transmits voice and data while providing enhanced RF performance.
Claiming to provide low total-cost implementation and easy installation, the antenna's compact form factor is said to be suited for concealed applications inside of a vehicle, but can also be used externally. Multiple mounting options allow the housing to be mounted on either a ground plane or non-ground plane surface. It is suitable for fleet logistics, tracking, diagnostics, theft protection, asset recovery, and navigation and infotainment systems.
The GSM/GPS antenna meets enhanced environmental specifications and is weather resistant with an IP-67 ingress protection rating.
