Automotive Tri-Band Antenna
Perfect for use with the MCG-101
The GSE Automotive 3-Band Antenna is an Iridium certified antenna, intended for land/mobile applications for the purpose of supporting voice and data communication systems. Mounted antennas provide additional clarity and connection integrity for vehicular systems because of their positioning atop the vehicle where a direct line of sight with satellites is available.
The GSE Automotive 3-Band Antenna is device-agnostic, and works with a number of Iridium terminals, including the MCG-101, an intelligent PBX solution that operates as a telephone, Internet portal, GPS device and SMS terminal. Solutions involving the MCG range from emergency, remote, and redundant communications infrastructure to fully customized M2M, SCADA, and Edge Computing applications that leverage the terminal’s SDK and programmability.
Features
3-band (Iridium - GSM - GPS)
The GSE Automotive 3-Band Antenna is a three-band antenna supporting Iridium, GSM, and GPS, which makes it the perfect choice for users looking for a product that can support hybrid connectivity demands. The ability to move between service connections based on availability lends to continuous connectivity with little disruption, which is ideal for vehicles that regularly move into and out of traditional service area(s).
Magnetic Mount
The GSE Automotive 3-Band Antenna comes with a magnetic mounting kit, which positions it to be a portable solution for vehicle applications, allowing for easy transfer between equipment if necessary. The portability afforded by the magnetic mount also makes it ideal for other vessels and structures that require temporary use.
VHB Mount
For fixed-asset use, the GSE Automotive 3-Band Antenna also has a VHB mounting option, allowing users to semi-permanently affix the antenna to the asset. Most VHB applications are those for which the terminal is also more often permanently installed in the asset.
Long Cable
The GSE Automotive 3-Band Antenna's long (6-foot) cable supports nearly all vehicular installations, and has the ability to accommodate an extension for non-standard mounting needs.
Compact Size
At only 3.2 inches in diameter, the GSE Automotive 3-Band Antenna will fit in or on nearly any surface of any vehicle or vessel to which it needs to be mounted. The compact size makes for greater portability as well, allowing users to move it from asset to asset with ease.
Weather Sealed
Seals protect the contents of the antenna casing from weather damage.
