2. Features
2.1. Built-in GPS receiver
The GX LTE 4G includes a built-in GPS receiver. When the optional active GPS antenna is installed, the system can be tracked as well as geo-fenced on the VRM Portal.
The required accessory part number is GSM900200100 - Active GPS Antenna for GX GSM.
2.2. GX compatibility
The GX LTE 4G can be used with any of the GX devices and requires Venus OS v2.60 or newer to be installed on the GX device.
2.3. SIM card
It requires a SIM card of the Mini-SIM format.
2.4. When to use a mobile router instead
Note
The GX LTE 4G provides only an internet connection for the GX device. Sharing the internet with laptops, phones, or other devices is not possible.
For installations where more devices require internet, as is often the case on a yacht or RV, or where a reliable failover/backup solution is needed, consider installing a mobile router with this functionality instead.
A mobile router can share cellular data with multiple devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and other devices via its Ethernet port or WiFi and is able to switch to a previously configured WiFi connection in the event of an Ethernet connection failure or vice versa.
2.5. Antennas and accessories
A small indoor LTE antenna is included. Optionally, we also sell an outdoor LTE antenna, which increases the range:
