Tango 21Robust Through Hole GPS Antenna

The Tango 21 is our most compact GPS antenna with a screw threaded base. The built in Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) provides a 28dB gain on the antenna signal. The benefit of having a strong signal means that satellite fix times are quicker which drives application readiness.

The antenna can be mounted securely and can be used for a host of different GPS applications including: vehicle/fleet/asset tracking, mobile applications or general positioning purposes.

Supplied as standard with 3m of cable and an SMA Male connector. Alternative cable lengths and connector types can be specified for volume orders.
