Antenna Navilock 60506 network antenna RP-SMA 27 dBi

The Navilock 60506 network antenna is a compact GPS navigation antenna designed for applications requiring high signal gain and stable reception. Operating at a fixed frequency of 1.575 GHz with a gain of 27 dBi, this antenna provides enhanced sensitivity for GPS signal acquisition. The unit is supplied in black, includes coaxial cables for immediate integration, and connects via an RP-SMA female connector. Its low power requirement of 3–5.5 V DC and nominal current draw of 15 mA keep energy consumption minimal.

Advantages

The antenna’s 27 dBi gain improves signal strength and reception range compared with low-gain modules, which is useful in environments with weak satellite visibility. Its RP-SMA female connector simplifies installation with common RF cables and adapters. Small physical dimensions and light weight make the device suitable for installations with limited space, while the included coaxial cables reduce the need for additional purchases. Low power consumption supports battery-operated or low-power tracking systems.

Suitable for

• Fixed or mobile GPS receiver installations
• Vehicle tracking systems and fleet management
• Outdoor positioning solutions where extended range is needed
• Integration into embedded devices with RP-SMA connectivity

How to use

Mount the Navilock 60506 antenna in a location with a clear view of the sky for optimal GPS reception. Connect the antenna to the GPS receiver or tracking device using the RP-SMA compatible cable; if required, use a suitable adapter to match your device’s connector. Apply the specified supply voltage within 3–5.5 V DC and verify the current draw is within normal range (approximately 15 mA). Route coaxial cables to minimise sharp bends and mechanical strain, and secure the antenna housing to prevent movement that could affect reception.

Recommendations

Position the antenna away from large metal structures and RF noise sources to reduce interference. For installations on vehicles or metallic surfaces, consider using a non-metallic spacer or mount to preserve signal performance. Regularly inspect cable connections and seals to maintain a stable link and long-term reliability.
