## Taoglas MagmaX Multiband L1/L2/L-band GNSS Magnetic Mount Antenna 

The Taoglas MagmaX AA.212, is a compact, multi-band GNSS, high-performance antenna, for fast fix, highprecision GNSS accuracy. The AA.212 utilizes an advanced 45*45*10mm, wide-band dual-stacked ceramic patch antenna with optimized gain for GPS L1/L2, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, and L-Band bands. 

Typical Applications Include: 

- Precision Agriculture 

- Navigation 

- Robotics and Autonomous Vehicles 

- Transportation and Telematics 

The MagmaX exhibits excellent radiation patterns and has been optimized to cover the bands required for the next generation of L1/L2 GNSS receivers that are currently on the market. The AA.212 has been designed as a premium solution for high-precision GNSS systems by including L-Band coverage, for when GNSS correction services are utilized. L-Band correction services use GNSS systems to decode satellite transmissions and will output a correction stream, enabling a high-precision system to reach genuine cm-level accuracy. 

The robust ABS enclosure is IP67-rated, allowing the product to be used with confidence in harsh environments where precise positioning is required. The AA.212 comes with 2m of RG-174 cable and SMA(M) connector as standard but as with all Taoglas products, cable and connectors are fully customizable depending on your requirements. For further information please contact your regional Taoglas customer support team to request these services or additional support to integrate and test this antenna’s performance with your device.
