Combination Antenna
| Refer to COMPONENT INDEX . |
The combination antenna consists of a Global Positioning System (GPS) element, Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) element, AM/FM element and a Long Term Evolution 1 (LTE1) element. The TBM2 system uses the GPS and LTE1 elements of the combination antenna. The LTE1 element is for data upload and download. The use of two LTE antennas (LTE1 and LTE2) is for the purpose of increasing data upload and download speeds.
The combination antenna allows the MNO to locate the vehicle using the GPS element in the event the occupant cannot respond with the vehicle location.
