Recommended GNSS Antenna Specifications
To use a GNSS antenna with the ACX500 router, the antenna must be a GNSS L1/G1 antenna (1575–
1610 MHz). At present there are several GNSS antennas available in the market that meet the ACX500
router criteria.
We recommend that you use the following GNSS antenna with the ACX500 routers:
