Introduction The Storm MA412 LTE MIMO antenna is a low profile, heavy-duty, fully IP67 waterproof external M2M antenna for use in worldwide telematics applications which require best in class LTE performance. At only 31mm high, the Storm is the world’s lowest profile global telematics antenna solution. It delivers powerful worldwide 4G LTE MIMO antenna technology while also covering the 3G and 2G bands. Typical applications -HD Video over LTE -First Responder and Emergency Services -Intelligent Transport Systems -Internet of Things (IoT market) -High Definition Video Broadcast Systems -Wireless LTE MIMO M2M Devices -Digital Signage LTE 4G applications demand high speed data uplink and downlink. High efficiency and high gain MIMO antennas are necessary to achieve the required signal to noise ratio and throughput required to solve these challenges. Taoglas also takes care to have high isolation between the two MIMO antennas to prevent self-interference. The MA412 does not require a ground plane. Low loss cables are used to keep efficiency high over long cable lengths. In contrast, smaller MIMO antennas with poorer quality thinner cables will have much reduced efficiency and isolation, which would lead to a large drop in system throughput or drops, and may indeed not make a system connection at all.
