Introduction The Taoglas MA256.A is a 3-in-1 adhesive mount combination antenna for use cases requiring worldwide 4G coverage and GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou/Galileo for positioning. The MA256 has been designed to be mounted directly onto glass or plastic and can be mounted internally in vehicles, via high quality, first tier automotive approved 3M adhesive. The MA256 offers a convenient and economical alternative in-cabin mounting solution to larger permanent / on-roof mount solutions. The MA256 covers fallback to 3G/2G bands where 4G coverage is not available and can also be used to covers Cat M1/LTE-M & NB-IoT bands. Typical Applications include: - Automotive Vehicle Tracking - Telematics - Video Streaming - Robotics/Autonomous 4G wireless applications demand high-speed data uplink and downlink. High efficiency and high gain MIMO antennas are necessary to achieve the required signal to noise ratio and throughput required to solve these challenges. Taoglas also takes care to have high isolation between the two MIMO antennas to prevent selfinterference. The IP67 waterproof PC/ABS enclosure measures just 128*76*12mm including the 3M foam adhesive. The antenna can be mounted internally or externally on a vehicle. Both MIMO 1 and MIMO 2 coaxial cables are 2m 1.5DS with SMA(M) connectors and the GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou/Galileo cable is 2m RG-174 an includes an SMA(M) connector. Customized cable and connector versions are also available.

About Novapart
Novapart is a B2B electronic component broker specialising in stock shortages and cost reduction. We source hard-to-find parts and identify compliant alternatives across a catalogue of 410,000+ components from 500+ manufacturers.
Learn more →Stock Shortage Specialist
When a component is unavailable, discontinued or has an unacceptable lead time, we tap into our network of vetted European and Asian distributors to source what you need — without compromising on quality or traceability.
Request a quote →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.
