Mounting Options (currently sold separately at Atlavox.com but coming soon to Rokland)

Antenna Rail

270° of adjustment keeps your antennas vertical in a wide variety of mounting positions. The rail is laser cut with (1) N-type bulkhead cutout, (2) SMA bulkhead cutouts on top, and one SMA cutout on each side of the rail, giving you a variety of options for mounting different antennas for LoRa, BLE, GPS, or other custom sensor systems.

Antenna Rail can be mounted on either top or bottom edge of solar panel frame, for even more flexibility and configuration.(Antennas over 12" are recommended to be mounted separately.)

5V, 5W ETFE Solar Panel

Charges the battery using the WisBlock's onboard charging circuit. The solar panel can pivot 180° from the mounting plate, enabling you to position the panel exactly where you need it to achieve optimal solar exposure.
