G150 High Gain Antenna, External Cellular Antenna for the Digicore G150
The G150 High Gain Antenna is a roof mounted 7 to 8 dBi cellular antenna for the Digicore G150 Vehicle Tracker. It gives the G150 stronger reception in weak and patchy coverage areas, so locations, safety alerts and driver behaviour events reach Telematics Guru as they happen, not when the vehicle returns to a strong signal.
Compatible with the G150 Nickel Tier and Gold Tier.
Why fit an external antenna?
A tracker mounted inside the cab loses a large share of the available signal to the vehicle’s metal body. Mounting the antenna on the roof gets it clear of the cab and adds 7 to 8 dBi of gain, helping the G150 stay connected further from each tower on regional roads, mine access tracks and remote worksites.
What it does for your fleet
Live tracking in fringe coverage areas, where an internal antenna would drop out.
Safety alerts that arrive on time, including overspeed, harsh driving, duress and accident alerts.
Fewer offline gaps in trip and compliance reports.
The G150 stores over 25 days of records when out of coverage and uploads them once reconnected, so no data is lost either way. The antenna improves how quickly it reaches you.
Installation
The antenna connects to the G150 through an SMA connector on a 5 metre cable, so the tracker can stay securely mounted inside the vehicle. After fitting, the G150 needs to be switched from its internal antenna to the external antenna. Digicore does this remotely, so let us know when the antenna is installed.
Need coverage where there are no towers?
A high gain antenna strengthens a weak signal but can’t create one. For vehicles working fully outside cellular coverage, see the G150 with the optional Iridium Edge satellite module.
