Outdoor GPS Antenna
If your Network Extender cannot receive a Global Positioning System (GPS)
signal by using the supplied Indoor GPS antenna, 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 configuration, which typically requires longer
cable runs is 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. The Network
Extender uses standard GPS cables and accessories, which may be purchased
from any GPS equipment reseller. A receive signal strength of -152dBm is
sufficient at the GPS port for the Network Extender.
