RLACS249

This page contains the technical specifications for the RLACS249 Active Triple Band GNSS Antenna.

The RLACS249 is a tuned triple band antenna for reception of GPS L1/L2/L5, GLONASS G1/G2/G3, BeiDou B1/B2, Galileo E1/E5a+b and L-band corrections signals. This antenna provides reception for signals in the bands 1164 MHz to 1254 MHz and 1525 MHz to 1606 MHz. It is housed in a magnetic mount, weather-proof enclosure.
