Telematic antennae from Laird Antennas are available from Mouser
Five-port VPJ and four-port VQJ multi-port / multi-band telematics antennae in Laird Antennas’ Trigger series are IP67-rated. They offer cellular 3G / 4G / 5G / ISM / CBRS, Wi-Fi and GNSS functionality for automotive and IoT applications. The antennae, which are now available from Mouser Electronics, can be used in a variety of applications, including transportation, public safety, fleet operations, asset tracking, and in-vehicle and to-vehicle communications.
The VxJ Trigger antennae have an L-shaped format and dual-axis VHB adhesive backing, enabling them to be quickly and securely mounted in constrained spaces in vehicles. The antennae can be mounted alongside or over bulky non-metallic objects, for example in ventilator ducts, with no drilling required, confirms Laird. The antenna can therefore be mounted close to the vehicle’s router or gateway which is usually located under the dashboard, a seat or in the trunk / boot of the vehicle.
Each Trigger antenna comes with vertical and horizontal V-Pol / H-Pol cellular radiating elements within the same antenna to provide better coverage. This design also offers substantial signal performance improvements and more consistent connectivity and data throughput than traditional antennae, says Laird. The resulting, optimised performance and around-the-vehicle coverage, means the Trigger devices can be used in either dense urban environments or remote locations where signals may be weak or obstructed.
