In rare occasions you may need to add an external antenna to the Mobilelock to improve its cellular or GPS reception. Antennas can be purchased from Wilson Electronics.
Passive Antenna : If the Mobilelock is going into a metal box like a safe and there is sufficient signal outside of the box then you can add a passive antenna.
- Wilson Model # 359914 is a patch with a cable connection that can velcro to the outside of the Mobilelock. Cost from Wilson Electronics is around $3.95.
- Wilson Model # 301113 is a 4" mini magnetic mount antenna. Cost is around $12.00. Wilson offers a variety of sizes to choose from. The patch cable connects to this and then this magnetically attaches to the outside of the box.
Powered Antenna: If there is extremely weak signal in your area but there is sufficient signal within several thousand feet then you can add a Powered External Antenna to increase the reception power for the Mobilelock. Here are some products we recommend:
