SAN DIEGO--Pulse, a Technitrol Company (NYSE: TNL), has introduced its W4120 Series of multi-band active GPS antennas, billed as combining a compact size with the capability to support most major wireless services globally.
The antenna features a low-profile housing that complies with Ingress Protection 67 (IP67), making it suitable for outdoor use. The active GPS antenna provides accurate location-based information that can be communicated back to the tracking location via commonly, globally used wireless frequencies, enabling fleet management, pay-as-you-drive insurance, navigation, locating, and other telematics applications.
The W4120 series antennas operate over 5 frequency bands -- 824 to 894 MHz, 880 to 960 MHz, 1710 to 1880 MHz, 1850 to 1990 MHz, and 1920 to 2170 MHz -- plus GPS. The amplifier input voltage of 3 or 5 volts DC provides 26dBic of gain and compatibility with most commercially available receivers. The compact 136x38x14mm antennas come individually packaged with separate double-sided tape for easy installation in any environment.
