Antennae
The Agora PCBA supports three external antenna types: a cellular antenna, a GNSS antenna, and a LoRa
antenna. Connections to each of the external antennae are provided onboard as U.FL connectors. If a corresponding
onboard antenna is not provided for each desired wireless function on a given configuration of Agora, the operator
must attach external antennae to the board via the U.FL connectors in order for the cellular, GNSS, or LoRa

the following subsections. For cases where Agora is used without a plastic housing, one could use either separate
antennae or a combination antenna. The recommended combination antenna in such applications would be the
