2GIG ANT5XL GC2: No Adaptor Needed for LTE Communicator
In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid sets up the 2GIG ANT5XL-GC2 Cellular Antenna with a 2GIG GC2e LTE Communicator. And as you can see from the video, no adapter is needed to complete the connection. You can easily plug the gold connector into the gold connector port to install the antenna. When installing the antenna, you should have the 2GIG ANT5XL-GC2 connected to the Main port, and the smaller stock antenna connected to the Div port. The large 2GIG ANT5XL-GC2 should be mounted up and away from the 2GIG GC2 or 2GIG GC2e, and the small stock antenna connected to the Div port should be tucked inside the panel.
Adding a cellular antenna like the 2GIG ANT5XL-GC2 will boost cellular signal strength, which can be crucial for users in rural areas in achieving a strong enough cellular signal. Today, most users will not need to add an external cellular antenna like the 2GIG ANT5XL-GC2. Cellular signals are quite strong today, especially with LTE radios, and no external hardware is needed in most situations. But if you are using the system in a particularly remote or rural area, them you may need an antenna to give your system's communicator an extra boost so that a proper cell signal can be achieved.
The 2GIG ANT5XL-GC2 can be used with any of the LTE communicators for a 2GIG GC2 or 2GIG GC2e Security System. It should last for the lifetime of the system's LTE cellular communicator. In the cellular industry, LTE stands for "Long Term Evolution", and it is widely accepted as the backup to newer 5G devices. It is expected that LTE cellular networks will be kept operational and in service for many years, with most estimates listing the mid to late 2030s to early 2040s as a probable shutdown date.
