1. Introduction
The GSA.8827R Phoenix Ultra-Wideband I-Bar antenna is a robust high efficiency
cellular antenna for use with all 4G/3G/2G cellular modules worldwide.
Its slim-line design allows for covert and convenient installation in automotive vehicles,
its omni-directional gain across all bands ensures constant reception and transmission.
GSA.8827R is manufactured and tested in a TS16949 first tier automotive approved
facility, and it has gone through full PPAP design, reliability and quality audits.
The Phoenix finds its application particularly in first-tier automotive application,
aftermarket and telematics. With its unique ultra-wide band dipole design, the Phoenix
has exceptional industry performance characteristics considering its very low profile at
7.7mm and has a compact size of only 105mm*30mm.
This antenna is designed to be mounted on glass or plastic (not on metal). It comes
with strong 3M double-sided adhesive for a permanent and secure fix to your vehicle
interior. The antenna is UV Resistant. Cable lengths and connectors are fully
customizable.
GSA.8827R features Taoglas’ AntD© antenna diagnostic technology. AntD© allows
connected radio products using the latest cellular modules and recommended circuits
from Telit and uBlox to perform diagnostics on the antenna. This includes detection
that the proper antenna is connected and that the connection isn’t shorted or broken.
