Product Manual and User Guide – ThurayaIP Active Antenna

6.5 GPS connector

This is a snap-on connector of type "QMA". It connects an active GPS antenna (internal to the
ThurayaIP Antenna) to the ThurayaIP terminal. The GPS antenna has a completely separate
power circuit, and the 3.3V necessary for the GPS antenna operation is provided by the
ThurayaIP terminal.
The connection of the GPS antenna is optional. The ThurayaIP terminal needs a GPS position,
but if one is not available, the last position from memory will be used, if it is not too old
(please consult the ThurayaIP manual for more information on this point).
If it is not convenient to use the built-in GPS antenna, a separate GPS antenna can be used
with the ThurayaIP terminal instead.
