Outdoor GPS Antenna
If your 4G LTE Network Extender cannot receive a Global Positioning System
(GPS) signal by using the supplied Indoor GPS antenna and extension cable, it
may be necessary to improve the reception by installing and then positioning the
outdoor GPS antenna. This section outlines the installation of outdoor GPS
antenna.
An outdoor GPS antenna system requiring longer cable runs is configured as
shown below.
•
If needed, a Line Amplifier can be installed within 32.8 ft. (10 m) from the
GPS antenna. As an alternative, a high gain GPS antenna can be installed
instead of Line Amplifiers to help overcome cable losses. One potential
manufacturer that has been used in the past is Gilsson. A receive signal
strength of -152dBm is sufficient at the GPS port for the 4G LTE Network
Extender.
For outdoor GPS antenna installation details, please refer to
