Certification-ready

Accelerates LTE + GNSS coexistence testing for first-pass certification.

RF headaches solved before they derail your design

RF challenges
How Virtual Antenna® solves it
  • Compact or concealed installs reduce efficiency.
  • Up to 70% efficiency even in the smallest telematics devices.
  • Orientation changes degrade GNSS reception.
  • Omnidirectional radiation pattern and linear polarization keeps GNSS consistent regardless of device attitude.
  • Metal, glass, or sealed housings detune the antenna.
  • Tunable matching network set resonance and recover efficiency.
  • Multi-radio coexistence causes interference on small PCBs.
  • One antenna solution with high port-to-port isolation supports LTE/5G, GNSS, WiFi/BLE coexistence on small PCBs.
  • Regional bands force new SKUs.
  • Retune matching network; reuse the same design across regions.
  • Thermal shifts detune impedance and raise VSWR, reducing efficiency.
  • Soldered chip (no adhesive drift); validated to 125 ºC.

    Frequent asked questions

    Which antenna is best for automotive aftermarket telematics?

    The TRIO mXTEND™ is the best fit for global aftermarket telematics solutions. This compact telematics antenna supports GNSS, LTE, and Bluetooth, making it the trusted choice for aftermarket telematics devices across cars, trucks, and fleet deployments.

    Can one antenna cover LTE + GNSS + Bluetooth?

    Yes. A Virtual Antenna® multiband solution combines LTE, GNSS, and Bluetooth in one automotive-grade telematics antenna. This simplifies design and reduces component count, helping aftermarket telematics devices stay compact and cost-efficient.

    How does Virtual Antenna® handle concealed or metal-enclosed placements?

    Virtual Antenna® technology uses tuned ground-plane architectures and optimized matching networks to preserve efficiency. As a result, aftermarket telematics antennas deliver reliable performance even when concealed behind dashboards, bumpers, or glass.

    How does Virtual Antenna® perform in real automotive environments?

    Virtual Antenna® designs maintain stable gain and VSWR across harsh automotive conditions. This ensures aftermarket telematics devices achieve consistent connectivity and certified performance where conventional antennas often fail.

    Is Virtual Antenna® suitable for global deployments?

    Absolutely. Its modular tuning supports multiple LTE bands, enabling one telematics antenna design to scale across regions while simplifying regulatory compliance. This flexibility makes it ideal for global aftermarket telematics rollouts.

    How does Virtual Antenna® simplify certification?

    Virtual Antenna® is designed for multi-radio coexistence and backed by Ignion’s engineering services. With Oxion™ simulation, pre-certification support, and matching network tuning, it reduces certification risk and speeds time-to-market for aftermarket telematics devices.
