1. Introduction
The MA.104.C GPS/Cellular Combination Hercules Antenna is a combination high
performance GPS 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.
