Active GPS Antenna for LtAP mini

The Mikrotik ACGPSA is an active GPS antenna tuned to the 1575.42 MHz frequency. It supplies accurate geographical coordinates to a compatible router such as the LtAP mini, even when that router is installed indoors. The unit draws a maximum of 8 mA at 3 V and provides 26 dB gain. Its IP67 rating means it is fully waterproof for permanent outdoor mounting.

Upgrade from no GPS or indoor reception

Adding this antenna enables positioning on devices that lack a built-in GPS module or that cannot see satellites from their mounting location. The jump is worth it when you need reliable time synchronisation or location tracking for a router placed inside a cabinet or vehicle. Without an external antenna the receiver may never acquire a fix or may lose it intermittently.

Simple magnetic or tape mounting

The 5 m RG-174/U cable ends in an SMA connector that plugs into the LtAP mini via the separate ACSMAUFL pigtail. A magnetic base and double-sided tape are included for quick attachment to metal or flat surfaces. The only common issue is forgetting to order the required pigtail, which leaves the SMA plug with nothing to connect to. Operating range spans -40 °C to +85 °C.

Questions about this item

How much clearance is needed for the 46.5 mm by 46.5 mm magnetic base?

The antenna body measures 46.5 mm by 46.5 mm by 12.5 mm and weighs 35 g; the magnetic base adds 120 g total with the 5 m cable and SMA connector attached.

Which pigtail is required to connect the SMA plug to the LtAP mini?

Use the ACSMAUFL pigtail, ordered separately, to adapt the antenna's SMA male connector to the LtAP mini's U.FL port; the 5 m RG-174/U cable stays routed outside.

Does the IP67 rating cover the SMA connector and the full 5 m cable run?

The IP67 waterproof rating applies to the antenna housing only; the SMA connector and RG-174/U cable are not rated for immersion and should be kept dry or protected.
