This overview compares the Navilock GNSS Antenna N Connector 18 dB Active Outdoor Grey 10 cm 60738 outdoor GNSS antenna against several alternative devices from Navilock and Delock. All compared models are built to enhance satellite navigation or wireless communication signals, but they differ in connector types, gain levels, physical dimensions, and support for additional communication standards such as 4G, 5G, and Wi-Fi.
⚙️ The specifications comparison table below highlights the antenna type, supported network bands, gain specifications, connector types, cable configuration, and housing color to help you understand the practical differences between the options.
| Parameter | Navilock GNSS 18 dB (60738) | Navilock GNSS 20 dB (60763) | DELOCK 4G GNSS (90767) | DELOCK 5G/GNSS/Wi-Fi (81473) | DELOCK 5G/GNSS/Wi-Fi (81469) | Practical significance |
|---|
| Device type | Active GNSS antenna | Active GNSS antenna | 4G and GNSS roof antenna | External omnidirectional 5G, LTE, GNSS, Wi-Fi 6 antenna | External omnidirectional 5G, LTE, GNSS, Wi-Fi 6 antenna | Determines the primary application: dedicated satellite positioning or multi-network wireless communication. |
| Supported networks | GNSS only | GNSS only | 4G and GNSS | 5G LTE, GNSS, Wi-Fi 6 | 5G, LTE, GNSS, Wi-Fi 6 | Delock models provide broader cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity alongside navigation compared to pure GNSS antennas. |
| Signal gain | 18 dB | 20 dB | 2 dBi / 28 dB | 1.1–4.0 dBi | 1.9–3.3 dBi | Different rating metrics reflect how effectively each model captures signals across its specific frequency range. |
| Connector type | N connector | N-connector | Dual FAKRA (C and D) | SMA connector | SMA connector | The connector must physically match the input port of your receiver, router, or tracking hardware. |
| Form factor and color | Outdoor, grey, 10 cm | Outdoor, black, 10 cm | Roof mount, black, 2.2 m cable | Universal outdoor/indoor | Universal outdoor/sheltered | Determines installation flexibility, whether mounted on a vehicle roof, mast, or directly on equipment. |
◎ The suitability table below evaluates different use cases to help you identify which antenna best matches your specific setup and operational needs.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Dedicated navigation and tracking systems utilizing an N connector | Navilock GNSS Antenna N Connector 18 dB Active Outdoor Grey 10 cm 60738 | Provides reliable satellite signal acquisition via an active circuit and a standard N-type connector in a neutral grey housing. |
| Outdoor navigation requiring slightly higher signal amplification | Navilock GNSS Antenna N-connector 20 dB active outdoor black 10 cm 60763 | Features the same compact 10 cm footprint and N-type connector while delivering an increased 20 dB gain in a black finish. |
| Vehicle or fixed routers requiring combined 4G cellular and GPS navigation | Outdoor Omni-directional Roof Antenna DELOCK 4G GNSS FAKRA C + FAKRA D 2 dBi / 28 dB 2.2 m RG-174 black | Equipped with dual FAKRA connectors and designed for roof mounting to simultaneously serve 4G modems and navigation hardware. |
| Comprehensive wireless setups requiring 5G, Wi-Fi, and GNSS connectivity | External Antenna DELOCK 81473 — 5G LTE, GNSS, Wi‑Fi 6, SMA Connector, Gain 1.1–4.0 dBi, Omnidirectional | Well-suited for gateways and routers that need to boost next-generation cellular internet, Wi-Fi, and satellite positioning through an SMA connection. |
Navilock GNSS Antenna N Connector 18 dB Active Outdoor Grey 10 cm 60738 is best suited for dedicated navigation setups and professional tracking hardware that require a reliable active GNSS antenna with an N-type connector. If your application calls for higher gain, the alternative model from the same brand with 20 dB gain is more suitable, whereas the Delock products cater to multi-functional networking equipment combining cellular, Wi-Fi, and satellite signals.
