Antennae
The epConnected Vehicle uses two antenna types: a cellular antenna and a GNSS antenna. Both antennae are
attached using SMA(F) connectors mounted to the plastic housing of the device. The GNSS antenna port is located
above the I/O connector while the Cellular antenna port is located on the far side of the housing. Both of the SMA(F)
ports on the housing are socket-type SMA(F) ports with outer threads. Consequently, both of the connecting
antennae must have pin-type SMA(F) connectors with inner threads.
The required antenna specifications correspond to those of the Agora. Please refer to the
Agora User Manual
for further
detail on the antenna specifications:

.
Any antenna used with the epConnected Vehicle should be mounted either to the exterior of the vehicle or anywhere on
the vehicle that provides appropriate antenna performance according to the distinct characteristics of the antenna used.
The antenna recommended for use with the epConnected Vehicle is the MA140.A.LB.001 combination ce GNSS
antenna by Taoglas. This antenna is appropriate for mounting to the exterior of a vehicle; it features an ingress
protection rating of IP67 and does not require a ground plane.
