Omni-directional antenna Navilock NL-400

The Omni-directional antenna Navilock NL-400 is a multi-band antenna designed for comprehensive wireless reception and transmission. It integrates five separate transmitting and receiving units: a GNSS patch antenna for GPS and GLONASS, two PCB antennas in MIMO mode for LTE bands, and two PCB antennas in MIMO mode covering dual-band WLAN. The NL-400 also supports GSM, UMTS, Bluetooth, Z-Wave and ZigBee, and provides reliable signal delivery with a 50 Ω impedance and RP-SMA female connector. Its compact housing (106 × 160 × 102 mm) and white finish are suitable for various installation environments.

Advantages

The Navilock NL-400 offers multi-band reception and transmission through physically separate units, enabling concurrent GNSS, cellular, and WLAN signal handling. MIMO-capable PCB antennas improve throughput for LTE and dual-band WLAN. The built-in GNSS patch antenna supports GPS and GLONASS, while additional compatibility with GSM, UMTS, Bluetooth, Z-Wave and ZigBee increases integration options. With a maximum antenna gain of 30 dBi, 50 Ω impedance and an RP-SMA female connector, the antenna is suitable for many wireless setups and provides stable performance with low power consumption (16 mA).

How to use

Mount the NL-400 in a position with minimal obstructions to maximize omni-directional reception. Connect the antenna to your device using the RP-SMA female connector and ensure compatible cabling to maintain 50 Ω impedance. For GNSS reception, orient the antenna so it has clear sky view if possible. For cellular and WLAN performance, place the antenna centrally relative to the coverage area to exploit its omni-directional pattern and MIMO capability. Follow device manufacturer guidance for grounding and lightning protection where applicable.

Recommendations

Use quality 50 Ω coaxial cable and proper connectors to avoid signal loss. For installations exposed to weather, verify that any additional cabling and joints are weatherproofed and that grounding and surge protection are implemented according to local codes.
