Description
The Hercules MA130 is a compact, low-profile 2-in-1 solution that combines active GNSS (GPS/GLONASS/Galileo) with an 868MHz ISM-band antenna for reliable positioning and sub-GHz connectivity in remote monitoring deployments.
- Optimized GNSS performance: Designed to improve satellite visibility and tracking accuracy, particularly in challenging environments such as urban canyons.
- Stable 868MHz performance: Wide bandwidth design supports consistent operation across typical ISM allocations.
- Rugged external enclosure: UV and vandal resistant polycarbonate housing with an IP65-rated enclosure for demanding outdoor assets and vehicles.
