    Antenna 10.1. Detachable Antenna Guidelines This M2M Router device, ER2000T-NA-CAT1 and ER2000T-VZ-CAT1, integrates an LTE (4G) and WiFi radio function. Is uses an external antenna (dipole antenna) and a standard antenna connector (SMA type) which is not covered under FCC 15.203 requirements. Therefore, this equipment needs to be installed by a professional technician since the M2M application usually resides inside other equipment where the end- user cannot change the external antennas easily.
