The GPSD ‘Sharkee’ range has become a byword for industry leading technology in discrete OEM style shark fin housing. The GPSD-6-60 brings 5G capability to the GPSD family.

The antenna should be installed on a metal panel when a comms whip is used, but if the whip is not required, then it may be fitted on a non-metallic panel and still offer similar performance.

The shark fin housing contains a 2x2 MiMo antenna function for 4G/5G (617- 960/1710-6000 MHz). An active antenna for GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/BeiDou is included, with 26 dB gain LNA and advanced filtering for LTE band 13/14 operation. In addition, there is an integral stud mount for an external antenna whip that can support a range of VHF, UHF, or 700/800 MHz antennas. A blanking cap is supplied for when this is not required.

Requiring only a single hole mounting, the GPSD reduces vehicle damage, installation time & cost, and visual impact whilst protecting a vehicle’s resale value.
