DRAFT SPECIFICATION 1 www.taoglas.com SPE-23-8-242-A The Taoglas Bolt A.120 is an active multi-band GNSS antenna has been carefully designed to work well on the full GNSS spectrum and the L-Band for correction services. This allows the user to achieve higher location accuracy, as well as stability of position tracking in urban environments meaning a better overall GNSS system for the user. The A.120 Bolt has excellent performance across the full bandwidth of the antenna and its design has an even gain across the hemisphere giving almost excellent, broad axial ratio which in turn makes it resilient to multipath rejection and excellent phase centre stability. The LNA used in the A.120 ensures excellent out of band rejection and provides excellent positioning stability and reliability of GNSS signals. The robust, covert, permanent mount IP67 rated ASA enclosure is just 26mm in height designed for ease of installation. It can be mounted on any surface; however, performance can be affected when mounted on metal surfaces. Typical Applications Include: - Autonomous Driving - Precision Positioning for Robotics - Precision Agriculture - Telematics & Asset Tracking The A.120 is the latest external addition to an ongoing product road map of high precision antennas by Taoglas. For RTK applications when used on the base and/or the rover, the A.120 can achieve genuine cmlevel accuracy. Cable and connectors are customizable. Please contact your regional Taoglas customer support team for further information.
