Selecting Antennas
Select an antenna based on your product and application. Typically, both antennas are the same because either
can be the main receive antenna. However, if the antenna connectors are too close together, use a similar antenna
on a short cable for the second receive only antenna.
Antenna Approvals and Safety Considerations
Note the following:
The carriers conduct antenna diversity tests.
There are no EMC concerns about antenna diversity.
All antennas need to have a minimum flammability rating.
Safety requirements depend on your final product.
Antennas are not approved for outdoor use. Do not extend antennas outside of any building.
Diversity and Power Draw
There are no significant power draw differences.
Important
: You must deploy with two antennas, unless your carrier has authorized you to deploy with one
antenna.
