Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What frequency bands does GL-E001 support?

The GL-E001 supports multiple frequency bands: 2400-2500MHz (WiFi/Bluetooth), 890-960MHz (GSM 2G),        1710-2170MHz (3G/4G), and 1710-2700MHz (LTE/5G). This makes it ideal for multi-standard wireless        communication systems requiring comprehensive band coverage.

Q2: What is the difference between SMA and FAKRA connectors?

SMA connectors are standard threaded RF connectors commonly used in industrial and consumer applications.        They provide reliable connections and are easy to install. FAKRA connectors are automotive-grade snap-lock        connectors specifically designed for vibration resistance and quick installation in vehicles. FAKRA connectors        are color-coded for easy identification and meet automotive industry standards. Choose SMA for general industrial        applications and FAKRA for automotive installations.

Q3: Can this antenna handle 100W continuous power?

Yes, the GL-E001 is rated for 100W maximum power input. However, for continuous high-power applications,        we recommend ensuring adequate heat dissipation and monitoring the operating temperature to maintain optimal        performance and extend antenna longevity. In mobile applications or enclosed spaces, consider additional        ventilation or heat management solutions.

Q4: Is this antenna suitable for outdoor use?

The GL-E001 is designed primarily for indoor and protected outdoor installations. While it operates reliably        in temperatures from -40°C to +85°C, for harsh outdoor environments exposed to direct weather elements, we        recommend using additional weatherproofing enclosures or selecting our ruggedized outdoor antenna models with        IP67/IP69 ratings.

Q5: What is the typical range of this antenna?

The effective range depends on multiple factors including transmit power, receiver sensitivity, environmental        conditions, and obstacles. With 28-30 dBi gain, the GL-E001 significantly extends communication range compared        to standard antennas. In optimal conditions with clear line of sight, ranges of several kilometers are achievable        for cellular bands. For specific range requirements, we recommend conducting field tests in your deployment environment.

Q6: Can I use this antenna for 5G applications?

Yes, the GL-E001 supports 5G NR frequencies within the 1710-2700MHz range, covering many 5G sub-6GHz bands.        However, it does not support mmWave 5G frequencies (24GHz and above). For comprehensive 5G coverage including        mmWave bands, please contact our sales team for specialized 5G antenna solutions.

Q7: What mounting hardware is included?

The GL-E001 includes the antenna with integrated screw mount base. Mounting hardware (screws, washers, nuts)        may vary depending on your order configuration. Please specify your mounting requirements when placing an order,        and we can provide appropriate hardware or recommend compatible mounting brackets.

Q8: How do I verify antenna performance after installation?

After installation, you can verify performance by:

• Measuring VSWR using a network analyzer or VSWR meter (should be ≤1.5)

• Checking signal strength indicators on your device

• Conducting throughput tests for data applications

• Comparing performance with baseline measurements before installation

For professional installations, we recommend using RF test equipment to verify gain, VSWR, and radiation pattern.

Q9: Is the antenna compatible with my device?

The GL-E001 is compatible with any device that:

• Operates on the supported frequency bands (890-960MHz, 1710-2700MHz, 2400-2500MHz)

• Has a 50Ω RF interface

• Features an SMA or FAKRA connector (or can be adapted)

Common compatible devices include 4G/5G routers, IoT gateways, automotive telematics units, and industrial        communication equipment. If you're unsure about compatibility, please contact our technical support team with        your device specifications.

Q10: What warranty and support do you provide?

The GL-E001 comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Our warranty        includes free replacement for defective units within the warranty period. We also provide:

• Technical support via email and phone

• Installation guidance and troubleshooting assistance

• Custom antenna solutions for volume orders
