## **1. Introduction** 

The MA.104.C GPS/GALILEO/Cellular Combination Hercules Antenna is a combination high performance GPS/GALILEO and penta-band cellular antenna solution for reliable asset tracking and remote monitoring. Durable UV and robust PC housing is resistant to vandalism and direct attack. At only 29 mm height it complies with the latest EU height restrictions directives for roof-mounted objects, with a diameter of 49 mm. 

It is designed to not catch on tree-branches. 

The Hercules can be mounted on metal or non-metal structures as it has a metal ground-plane base integrated inside.

Compliant Alternatives

We identify pin-to-pin, electrically equivalent substitutes that meet the same certifications (RoHS, AEC-Q100, REACH) as your original specification — validated against datasheets, not just part numbers. Often at a lower cost.
