Taoglas Genesis MA240 3in1 GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO & 4G/3G/2G 2xMIMO-Adhesive Mount Antenna

The Taoglas Genesis MA240 is a cutting-edge multi-constellation GNSS and high-speed cellular antenna designed to excel in telematics, fleet management, and remote monitoring deployments. With a compact adhesive-mount exterior, IP67 protection, and true 2xMIMO capability for 4G/3G/2G, this antenna delivers reliable positioning and robust data connectivity in challenging outdoor environments. The omni-directional radiation pattern maintains signal integrity in all directions, so you don’t have to chase the best mounting angle. Built for durability, the MA240 withstands harsh weather, temperature extremes, and rough handling while maintaining stable performance across urban canyons, rural landscapes, and busy ports. Whether you’re tracking assets, logging telemetry, or enabling remote monitoring, the MA240 is engineered to keep your equipment connected and your data accurate.

• 3-in-1 GNSS performance: The MA240 integrates GPS, GLONASS, and GALILEO constellation reception (with QZSS compatibility in many regions), delivering fast Time to First Fix and high-sensitivity signal tracking even in urban canyons or dense foliage. This multi-constellation capability improves positioning accuracy and reliability for telematics, asset tracking, geofencing, and navigation-driven applications. The omni-directional design ensures consistent satellite visibility as the vehicle or asset moves, removing the need for precise aiming or orientation.
• Dual-path MIMO cellular for resilient data: Equipped with 2x MIMO, the MA240 enhances uplink and downlink performance on 4G/3G/2G networks. This means higher data throughput, lower latency, and better signal reliability in congested networks, tunnels, or remote locations. It supports multiple LTE bands across global networks, ensuring broad compatibility with fleet management systems and M2M gateways while maintaining GNSS tracking in the same compact enclosure.
• Adhesive mount for fast, secure installation: The MA240 features a durable adhesive mounting system using high-grade 3M VHB tape, enabling quick, tool-free installation on vehicle roofs, instrument panels, trailers, or outdoor enclosures. The adhesive bond offers strong shear and peel performance in sun, rain, and temperature variances. For best results, surface prep is recommended, and long-term outdoor use is supported by Taoglas’ mounting guidelines and certifications.
• Weatherproof, rugged design for harsh environments: With an IP67-rated enclosure, the MA240 is protected against water ingress and dust intrusion, making it ideal for exposed locations, marine environments, and industrial sites. The rugged build resists UV exposure, salt spray, and everyday handling, while maintaining stable RF performance across a wide operating temperature range. This ensures continuous operation in vehicles, forklifts, heavy equipment, and remote telemetry stations.
• Compact, omni-directional antenna built for M2M connectivity: The Genesis MA240’s compact form factor minimizes wind loading and aesthetic disruption on vehicles or installations, while the omni-directional radiation pattern provides consistent signal capture from all directions. The internal RF design maintains a low profile without sacrificing performance, and the 50-ohm impedance ensures compatibility with standard M2M gateways and modems. It’s designed for easy integration with existing telematics systems and IoT deployments, enabling reliable location, connectivity, and data collection across industries.

How to Install Taoglas Genesis MA240

• Prepare a clean mounting surface: Wipe away dirt, oil, and debris. Ensure the surface is dry and smooth to maximize adhesive performance and seal integrity.
• Choose an optimal location: Select a spot with clear sky view for GNSS reception and minimal metal obstruction for better cellular signal. Roof installations generally offer best performance for both GNSS and LTE.
• Attach the antenna: Peel off the protective backing and firmly press the MA240 onto the chosen surface. Apply consistent pressure for 60 seconds to initialize the bond. If mounting on curved surfaces, use the supplied mounting pad or follow Taoglas guidelines for best adhesion.
• Route and seal cables: Run the RF and power cables away from moving parts, sharp edges, and heat sources. Use weatherproof grommets and protective conduits where needed. Ensure any exposed connections are sealed to preserve IP67 integrity.
• Test and validate: Power up the system, verify GNSS lock times, and test data throughput on the 4G network. Adjust placement if needed to improve satellite visibility or MIMO performance. Document the installation for future maintenance or audits.
