Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify current lifecycle status before procurement, as this specific model may be obsolete. Confirm that the SMA connector interface and 5-meter cable length align with system requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing GNSS receivers supporting standard L1 GPS signals. Check for updated replacement models if long-term supply stability is required for production environments.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this antenna when magnetic mounting convenience and extended cable reach are prioritized over compact form factors. It is suitable for applications requiring standard L1 GPS performance rather than multi-constellation or high-precision RTK capabilities. Consider the physical size and weight constraints associated with the magnetic base design during mechanical integration planning.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the u-blox ANN-MS series of RF antennas. The series typically offers various configurations for different mounting needs and cable lengths. While other models in the family might support multi-band GNSS or different connectors, this specific part number is dedicated to single-band GPS operation with a fixed cable assembly.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

Public documentation indicates this part is obsolete. No direct substitute part numbers are confirmed in the provided source material. Users should consult official u-blox channels for current equivalent products or updated series replacements.
