Common Concerns Answered
Users report the cable length might be insufficient for some installations. What are the implications?
The 3.0 m RG-316 cable is designed for direct connection to the GX LTE 4G modem. For installations requiring longer cable runs, consider Victron's extension cable solutions or professional assessment of optimal antenna placement to minimize signal loss.
This antenna requires a separate GX LTE 4G modem. What else do I need for connectivity?
This antenna is an accessory designed to enhance the performance of the Victron GX LTE 4G-A modem. You will need the GX LTE 4G-A modem itself, a cellular data plan, and potentially a SIM card for operation.
Customers are happy with improved signal strength. How significant is the improvement?
The 3 dBi signal gain, combined with the antenna's optimization for 4G bands, actively improves reception in areas with weak cellular coverage, ensuring more reliable data transmission for your remote monitoring systems compared to the modem's internal antenna.
