Dome AirLink Antenna

The Dome Antennas are high-performance, rugged, ground plane independent MiMo antennas. They have low profile design that contains up to eight isolated high-performance antenna elements in a single housing for optimal coverage. The Dome antennas are ideal for heavy-duty - transit or truck installations, with a simple single-bolt mounting.

SharkFin AirLink Antenna

The SharkFin antennas have a compact OEM style housing that contains up to six high-performance antenna elements for a variety of antenna solutions—2x2 MiMo antenna elements function for 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE frequencies, and an active antenna for GNSS with 26dB gain LNA and dual-band 3x3 MiMo Wi-Fi (2.4/5GHz).

BAT AirLink Antenna

Efficient element design that ensures high performance and a robust communication link, BAT antenna is purposely designed for high-speed telematics applications that can be mounted on any non-conductive surface. The isolated dual 4G/3G/2G antenna elements cover 698-6000MHz and GNSS with the option for dual-band Wi-Fi.
