L001254-01

## TN & NTN Dual-Mode Antenna - Satellite IoT Direct to Device Ready 

## Direct Mount Single Port 3G/4G Antenna 

## Covering 4G/5G/Satellite Band 25 

## **Satellite IoT D2D Ready** 

The L001254-01 direct to device (D2D) antenna is a multi-band low profile disk/puck antenna operating over the 698-960 MHz and 1710-2700 MHz frequency bands. 

Designed to be a surface mount antenna that performs well on metallic and non-metallic surfaces, the antenna is ideal for use in Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications. The housing incorporates a low profile, rugged design that conforms to IP67 standards making the antenna suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. 

## SATELLITE IOT D2D COMMUNICATIONS 

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, positioned a few hundred km’s above Earth, orbit rapidly and are ideal for IoT networks. A LEO satellite constellation can now support low data rate communications through specific LTE frequencies. 

- Dual-mode capable - Supporting Terrestrial Networks (TN) and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) from a single antenna 

   - 698-3800 MHz terrestrial cellular coverage 

   - Band 25 (1900 MHz) cellular satellite coverage 

      - Testing available for other/future cellular satellite D2D frequency bands used by various network providers 

- Enabling dual-mode communications via IoT devices 

   - Prioritizing terrestrial networks but capable of automatically switching to satellite when the signal is weak or unavailable 

## REFERENCE SIGNAL RECEIVED POWER (RSRP) VALUES 

The L001254-01 antenna was live-tested for receive signal strength.  Data encompasses multiple satellite pass-overs, showing signal strength variation; exceeding the -120 dBm minimum for IoT devices.

An RSRP value of -120 dBm is generally the recognized minimum requirement suitable for the data rates of SMS, CAT-1, CAT-1 Bis connectivity. 

RSRP can be susceptible to fluctuations for a variety of reasons. These can include: satellite elevation angle: antenna radiation patterns; solar flares; atmospheric conditions, and more.

## **MOUNTING** 

A threaded post on the back of the antenna and a supplied mounting nut is the primary mounting method when access is available to both sides of the mounting surface, such as a ceiling of a truck, meter, and vending machine. Mark the desired mounting location on the tile and cut a ø20 mm (0.8”) hole for threaded post. Feed the cables through the hole and secure the antenna with the mounting nut. 

The included rubber locking gasket should only be used with the mounting nut when mounting to a hard surface. 

**Note:** You should mount the antenna on the desired location before you connect the cable. This ensures that you do not twist or damage the cable during the mounting of the antenna. 

Hole diameter – 20 mm (0.8 in.) Maximum material thickness – 15 mm
