## **1. Introduction** 

The A.01 Hercules is a high performance thread mount GPS/GALILEO antenna designed for external use on vehicles and outdoor assets. Designed for heavy duty work with one piece C&C machined nickel steel base plate and threads, there are also convenient side slots for running cables laterally. Durable UV resistant ABS housing is IP65 rated, resistant to vandalism and direct attack. At only 29mm high it complies with the latest EU directives for height restrictions, whilst also enabling covert operation with a diameter of 49mm. 

Cable lengths, types and connectors are fully customizable. For cable lengths above 5m please use our 40dB LNA A.03 model and low loss cable.
