Tuned precisely for the GPS L1 frequency (1575.42 MHz), this antenna is the essential upgrade for any vehicle or mobile application demanding reliable, low-loss connectivity. Featuring a durable, weatherproof outdoor housing and the flexible RG174 coaxial cable, it's the perfect solution for seamless installation and superior signal acquisition.
Key Features & Technical Advantages
Our GPS antenna is designed for maximum performance, combining critical features that guarantee signal integrity and ease of use. We focus on benefits—how these specifications translate into a better experience for you.
Dedicated 1575MHz L1 Frequency Tuning: This antenna is laser-focused on the primary GPS L1 band, ensuring maximum efficiency, high gain, and minimal interference from other signals. Benefit: Experience faster Time-to-First-Fix (TTFF) and maintain a stable lock on satellites, which is crucial for real-time tracking and navigation accuracy.
Active Design with Built-in LNA (Low Noise Amplifier): The internal amplifier actively boosts the weak satellite signals upon reception. Benefit: This powerful gain feature compensates for signal loss over the cable length, significantly improving the sensitivity of your GPS receiver for reliable performance in challenging areas like urban canyons, dense forests, or heavy weather conditions.
Right-Hand Circular Polarization (RHCP): This polarization is essential to match the signal transmitted by GPS satellites. Benefit: RHCP effectively rejects confusing reflected signals (known as multipath interference) that often plague standard antennas, delivering a cleaner, more accurate position reading with reduced positional drift.
Durable, Weatherproof Outdoor Housing (IP-Rated): Constructed with a rugged, low-profile radome, the antenna is fully sealed against the elements. Benefit: It's built to withstand heavy rain, intense UV exposure, dust, road debris, and extreme temperature fluctuations, ensuring a long operational life when permanently mounted externally on any vehicle or remote enclosure.
Flexible RG174 Coaxial Cable: The use of RG174 provides a perfect balance of low-loss signal transmission and excellent physical flexibility. Benefit: The smaller diameter and high flexibility of the RG174 cable make routing and installation incredibly easy, especially in tight spaces, through vehicle body panels, or under headliners, without compromising signal quality or requiring specialized tools.
Wide Voltage Operation: Designed to operate efficiently across a standard DC voltage range (typically 3V to 5V), making it compatible with the vast majority of commercial and consumer GPS receiving units. Benefit: Simple integration with existing hardware without the need for additional power conditioning.
Versatile Usage Scenarios: Where Reliability Matters
The robust design, high-sensitivity, and low-profile form factor of this antenna make it the go-to choice for a wide array of mobile and stationary applications where a consistent, strong GPS signal is non-negotiable.
1. Fleet Management and Commercial Telematics
For businesses operating commercial fleets, precise location data is the foundation of efficiency, safety, and operational compliance.
Real-Time Vehicle Tracking (AVL): Ensure your asset tracking devices and telematic black boxes receive uninterrupted satellite updates, maintaining a continuous, accurate location history for all vehicles, even when navigating challenging urban environments with tall buildings or under dense tree cover.
Route Optimization and Geofencing: Highly accurate, low-drift GPS data is essential for effective route planning, efficient driver management, and reliably triggering alerts for boundary crossings (geofencing).
Asset Security and Recovery: When tracking high-value mobile assets, a strong, dependable GPS signal is crucial for rapid location and recovery in the event of theft or unauthorized movement.
2. Personal and Commercial Vehicle Navigation
Upgrade the performance and reliability of your vehicle's integrated or aftermarket navigation system.
Improved In-Car Navigation: Eliminate the frustrating experience of "lost signal" alerts or slow position lock. The active gain ensures your head unit or portable navigator locks onto satellites quickly and maintains a strong, stable signal for seamless, accurate turn-by-turn directions.
Off-Road and Remote Area Navigation: For recreational vehicles, 4x4s, or professional vehicles operating outside of cellular range, reliance on satellite navigation is total. This outdoor antenna provides the necessary signal stability to prevent being lost when far from civilization.
Taxis, Ride-Sharing, and Delivery Services: Professionals whose income depends entirely on GPS for receiving assignments and completing fares need the fastest and most reliable positioning data available.
3. Specialty and Industrial Applications
The antenna's rugged build and technical precision make it suitable for non-standard mobile use cases.
Marine and Aviation Backup Systems: Used as a reliable external antenna for non-primary GPS receivers on smaller vessels or aircraft where exposure to the elements is guaranteed.
Timing and Synchronization: Certain devices (like cellular base stations or data loggers) require GPS signal primarily for highly accurate timing information. This antenna ensures the necessary stable signal for precise network synchronization.
Precision Agriculture and Construction: For mobile machinery and equipment utilizing GPS for guidance (e.g., automated tractors, graders), reliable L1 signal reception is the bedrock for accurate field operations and site surveying, leading to reduced waste and improved efficiency.
Installation and Compatibility: Seamless Integration
Designed for maximum installer convenience, the weatherproof housing allows for easy external mounting on a vehicle roof, trunk, dashboard, or any flat metallic surface (depending on the mounting style, if magnetic). The flexible RG174 cable simplifies routing into the cabin or equipment enclosure.
Compatibility: This antenna utilizes the standard GPS L1 frequency of 1575.42 MHz. It is compatible with virtually all standard GPS/GNSS receivers, tracking units, navigation systems, and telematics devices that require an active external antenna input and provide a 3V-5V DC power source through the coaxial connector (known as phantom power). (Note: Please verify your device's connector type and voltage requirements before purchase.)
