xVictron Energy Outdoor 2G and 3G GSM Antenna
The Victron Energy Outdoor GSM Antenna extends 2G and 3G cellular connectivity for Victron monitoring equipment installed in locations with poor indoor signal. It is designed for permanent outdoor mounting, making it suitable for remote sites, rooftop plant rooms, agricultural buildings and any installation where the GSM modem is housed away from a window or in a metal enclosure.
Key Features
- Supports both 2G (GSM/GPRS) and 3G (UMTS/HSPA) cellular frequency bands for broad network compatibility.
- Designed for outdoor installation, with weatherproof construction suitable for exposed locations.
- Improves signal reception for Victron GSM modems installed inside metal enclosures or thick-walled buildings.
- Lightweight at 0.08 kg, making it straightforward to mount on masts, walls or enclosure exteriors.
- Compatible with Victron remote monitoring and communication accessories that use a standard external antenna connector.
Product Overview
Victron GSM modems rely on a stable cellular connection to transmit data to the VRM portal. In many off-grid and remote installations, the modem is located inside a sealed enclosure or a building with thick masonry walls, both of which attenuate the cellular signal significantly. Routing an external antenna to a position with clear line of sight to a cell tower resolves this problem without relocating the modem itself.
This antenna is rated for outdoor use, so it can be mounted directly on an exterior wall, a pole or the top of an enclosure without additional weatherproofing. The 2G and 3G dual-band support means it will work on legacy GPRS networks as well as faster 3G connections, which is relevant for sites in rural areas where 4G coverage may be absent and the network falls back to an older standard.

Installation Notes
Mount the antenna in a position with clear exposure to the sky or towards the nearest cell tower. Avoid mounting directly behind metal structures, which will reduce signal gain. Ensure the antenna connector type matches the port on your Victron GSM modem before installation. Cable routing through enclosure walls should be sealed to maintain the IP rating of the enclosure. For installations forming part of a grid-connected or high-voltage system, all associated electrical work should be carried out by a qualified installer.
