2x HGO-LTE-W necessary for KNOT LR8?

Wed May 03, 2023 8:42 am

Hi,
From the brochure, I understand HGO-LTE-W can handle both CAT-M and LoRa frequencies and just one antenna is needed, but, given that the KNOT has a specific SMA connector for CAT-M and a lateral SMA connector, should I use two antennas, or is enough to connect a HGO-LTE-W in the lateral SMA?

Thank you

Hi,

I have just started experimenting with a Knot LR8 and I belive that it needs 2 separate Antennas. At least I haven´t found any clues, why would it not be the case.
Btw. if using Lora for a larger area, I would suggest replacing one of the HGO-LTE-Ws by a "868_Omni_antenna" instead.

Actually I am even using a third antenna for GPS. (No real need for that in my setup, but the GPS antennas are cheap, so why not have a solid time reference?)
