2.2 Intended use
Labcom 221 GPS is primarily intended for transferring measurement, accrual, positioning,
alarm and status information to the LabkoNet server from locations where there is no fixed
power supply or installing it would be too expensive.
An LTE-M / NB-IoT network must be available for the device for data transfer. An external
antenna can also be used for data transfer. The positioning functionalities require a satellite
connection to the GPS system. The positioning (GPS) antenna is always internal, and there
is no support for an external antenna.
