Figure legend Description
1 SMA jack mount corresponding to the Main RF port on the VEP1420-LTE.
2 SMA jack mount for the GPS antenna
4 SMA jack mount corresponding to the AUX RF port on the VEP1420-LTE.

The MAIN port of the VEP1420-LTE is both a transmit and receive port for the modem. This port is required by the modem to connect to a network. The AUX port is a receiver port only and does not transmit. The AUX port provides additional receiver sensitivity for the LTE or WCDMA. The AUX port also provides GNSS receiver capability using the WWAN antenna.

NOTE:The VEP1420-LTE is certified for use with the WWAN antennas (provided with the switch) for WWAN 3G or 4G operation. Using unauthorized antennas on the WWAN transceiver with this switch may violate Regulatory compliance and carrier certifications. For more details, see Agency compliance.

The VEP1420-LTE switch is mounted horizontally. Meaning, the switch sits on its four rubber feet and you can install both antennas into a vertical position as shown in Figure 2. The VEP1420-LTE rear view.

NOTE:For best performance, do not mount the antennas near metal structures and keep antennas away from metal walls that could de-tune them. For more details, see the WWAN antenna guidelines section.

WWAN antenna peak gain

The following figure plots the peak gain of the antenna in dBi for the VEP1420-LTE. Peak gain is highest at 4500 MHz measuring 5.1 dBm and lowest in the low bands approximately -2 dBi.

The peak gain of the antenna at any frequency, along with the conducting power of the module and any cable losses, determines the Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) of the VEP1420-LTE.

WWAN antenna efficiency

The following figure plots the efficiency of the antenna in % for the VEP1420-LTE. The antenna efficiency (provided in % or dBm) determines how well the device transmits or receives across the bands it is tuned for.

Figure 5. WWAN antenna efficiency in % vs frequency (MHz). WWAN antenna efficiency in % vs frequency (MHz)
WWAN antenna efficiency in % vs frequency (MHz)

The following table summarizes the efficiency corresponding to the three band ranges for the WWAN antennas.

Band range Frequency Range (MHz) Antenna efficiency (%) Antenna efficiency (dB)
Low band 615-960 22-41 -6.6 to -3.9
Midband 1710-2700 36-55 -4.4 to -2.6
High band 3300-5925 22-60 -6.6 to -2.2

The following table provides the Total Radiated Power (TRP) that can be expected based on a fixed conductivity power of 23 dBm (typical LTE Tx from module) over a range of antenna efficiencies from 10-100%. The TRP values (in dBm) shown in the table are also based on a perfectly matched system (antenna impedance=50, ohms or VSWR=1). Actual antennas are never perfectly matched across all frequencies. As a result, some power is transmitted and some is reflected (VSWR >1). However, the table can serve as a guideline for the TRP as a system for the VEP1420-LTE based on the antenna efficiencies for the WWAN antenna provided in the previous table.

NOTE:For reference, a 50% efficient antenna is a degradation of 3 dB (half the power that is transmitted or received).

WWAN antenna guidelines

The VEP1420-LTE has two ports for the WWAN antennas to connect to: MAIN and AUX. Following are the recommendations for optimal WWAN performance:

  • For any orientation of the VEP1420-LTE, keep the two WWAN antennas away from metal objects or large surfaces that could detune the antenna. The more clearance from any metal object, the better the antenna behaves to its tuned frequencies.
  • When the switch is wall-mounted, the WWAN antennas may perform better if you bend the antennas away from the wall. You can naturally bend the antennas to hold positions at 45 and 90-degree angles to vertical.
  • When the switch sits normally (on four rubber feet), both WWAN antennas should point up vertically or at 45-degree angles (away from each other).
  • Ensure that the screwed connections of the antenna (SMA) are hand tight to provide good contact between the WWAN antenna and the VEP1420-LTE.
  • The VEP1420-LTE requires at least one WWAN antenna installed (on MAIN port of back panel) to function. This position provides both Tx and Rx functionality. The second WWAN antenna (AUX on back panel) provides diversity receiver functionality to improve WWAN download speeds and to provide GNSS functionality on this WWAN antenna.
  • For use cases where improved GNSS functionality is required, beyond what is provided by the WWAN antenna on AUX port, you can purchase a separate dedicated GPS active antenna to connect to the GNSS port of the back panel (not supplied by Dell). For more information, see GNSS specifications.

WiFi specifications

The models VEP1420 and VEP1420-LTE support the latest WiFi6 (802.11ax) standard with 2x2 MIMO using two internal antennas. WiFi6 functions both on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band. It is also backward compatible to all previous WiFi Standards including 802.11(b,a,g,n,ac) - also referred to as WiFi1 through WiFi5.

Following are the WiFi specifications:

  • WLE3002HX module using Qualcomm Atheros QCN6024
  • 2.4 GHz, 2x2 MU-MIMO OFDMA: Up to 573 Mbps physical data rate
  • 5 GHz, 2x2 MU-MIMO OFDMA: Up to 2402 Mbps physical data rate
  • Dual-band selectable (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz)
  • Supports Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
  • Supports up to 128 client devices
    NOTE:Client devices must support the same WiFi 6 standard and dual antennas to achieve the maximum data rate of the VEP1420-LTE.
  • 2.4 GHz band - supports 20 MHz & 40 MHz bandwidths.
  • 5 GHz band - supports 20,40,80,160 MHz bandwidths.

WiFi transmitter

The transmitter output power depends on the mode - 802.11 a,b,g,n,ac,ax - and the modulation employed. For example, the maximum power that is transmitted in the 2.4 GHz band can be as high as 23 dBm (802.11b mode, all modulations) or as low as 16 dBm (802.11 ax mode, MCS11 modulation) using 2x2 MIMO.

Example output power for 802.11ax in the 5 GHz band using any of the 4 available channel bandwidths (20, 40, 80, 160 MHz) across the available modulation rates (MCS0 to MCS11), transmitting on two antennas. The output power in the 2.4 GHz band is the same for all modulations shown. However, this output power attribute is supported only on 20 MHz and 40 MHz channel bandwidths.

WiFi Receiver

The WiFi receiver functions with varying degrees of sensitivity depending on both the mode of operation and the modulation employed. You can achieve higher degrees of receiver sensitivity at lower modulations (lower data rates). However, at higher modulations (higher data rate), the sensitivity of the radio decreases and the receiver requires a stronger RF link to maintain.

This sensitivity function implies that WiFi client devices that are closer maintain a higher data rate than client devices that are further away from the VEP1420. Devices that are further away or that have other interferences degrading the signal, cannot operate at the highest data rate. These devices automatically drop to lower data rates to maintain the RF link between them. As such, maintaining a strong RF link between the client device and the VEP1420 allows you to achieve maximum data rates.

WiFi data rates

At maximum modulation (MCS11) the date rate can reach up to 574 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band using 40 MHz channel. For the 5 GHz band, using a 160 MHz channel, the maximum speed increases to 2402 Mbps.

The WiFi module automatically adjusts its modulation (data rate) based on the signal quality received. The mode of operation (802.11a,b,g,n,ac,ax), guard interval, channel bandwidth and MCS rate determines the maximum data rate possible.

The following table shows the maximum theoretical data rates for each modulation (MCS) based on two internal antennas. The highlighted values are the maximums possible for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz respectively.

Internal WiFi antenna guidelines

Following are the guidelines for the internal WiFi antennas:

  • Steer clear of metal objects or walls from the immediate left and right sides of the switch to ensure good WiFi antenna performance.
  • Do not place any object on the top surface of the VEP1420 and VEP1420-LTE that could potentially affect WiFi performance.

GNSS specifications

The VEP1420-LTE supports the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).

GNSS band support

There are multiple bands within the GNSS systems in use around the world. However, the VEP1420-LTE only supports the UPPER BANDS as shown in the following table:

Table 1. GNSS supported bands for the VEP1420-LTEGNSS supported bands for the VEP1420-LTE
GNSS Upper Band Frequency Type of GNSS
GPS L1 1565 MHz–1592 MHz US satellite system
GLONASS G1 1596 MHz–1610 MHz Russian satellite system
Galileo E1 1563 MHz–1588 MHz European satellite system
Beidou B1 1559 MHz–1592 MHz China satellite system

The VEP1420-LTE also supports QZSS, which is a regional satellite navigation system to augment GPS to provide more accuracy in the Asia-Oceania region.

The following figure provides a graphical representation of the upper GNSS bands that the VEP1420-LTE supports:

GNSS performance specifications

If the GNSS receiver is provided adequate RF signal, then the GNSS receiver performs according to the specifications described in the following table. If acquisition times after a cold start drop below one minute, then the RF signals to the GNSS receiver may not be optimal. As a result, the receiver performance could be degraded.

Table 2. GNSS performance specificationsGNSS performance specifications
GNSS figure of merit Description Notes
Acquisition time
  • Hot start - One s
  • Cold start - 32 s
NOTE:A Cold start means that the GNSS receiver has no information about its position. A Hot start means that the GNSS receiver already has current almanac, ephemeris, time, and position data.

GNSS antenna support options

The GNSS functionality is available on the VEP1420-LTE:

  • Standard method - This method uses the WWAN antenna that is attached to the AUX RF port.
  • Optional method - This method uses a GNSS active antenna (not provided with the VEP1420-LTE) that installs on the GPS port.

Table 3. Figure legendsFigure legends
Figure legend Antenna port Description
2 GPS GPS Rx port that supports GNSS Rx with a dedicated active GNSS antenna.
4 AUX AUX RF port that supports GNSS Rx using WWAN antenna.
Standard method - WWAN antenna on AUX port

The VEP1420-LTE switch supports GNSS through the WWAN paddle antenna that is mounted to the AUX receiver port. However, the module port must be configured such that it is set correctly to the AUX port for GNSS functionality. For most applications, the WWAN antenna that is provided and mounted to the AUX port is sufficient to provide reasonable GNSS performance. For more details, see the GNSS performance specifications section.

Configuring GNSS functionality for the AUX port

The AUX port on the VEP1420-LTE supports GNSS with the WWAN antenna. The following configuration commands ensure that the AUX RF port is configured to receive GNSS signals:

Table 4. Configuration commands for AUX RF port usage for GNSSConfiguration commands for GPS RF port usage
Configuration commands that enable usage of AUX RF port for GNSS AT commands Notes
Unlock module commands. at!entercnd="A710"
NOTE: Required to change certain module settings.
Select AUX RF port to use for GNSS. at!custom="GPSSEL",1
NOTE: GNSS Port options on the VEP1420-LTE:
  • 0=GPS port
  • 1=AUX port (standard)
Optional method - Dedicated active antenna on the GPS port

In case the standard passive WWAN antenna lacks enough signal to provide good performance, you can improve the GNSS support using an external active GNSS antenna. Longer than expected Time to First Fix (TTFF) or inability to get a position fix at all can be an indicator of poor performance. The degradation in performance occurs when the GNSS receiver is unable to achieve a strong enough RF signal from the satellites orbiting the Earth.

To mitigate issues with GNSS poor performance, you can mount a GNSS active antenna to the GPS RF port of the VEP1420-LTE. You can position the GNSS active antenna more optimally to receive low-level outdoor satellite signals. For example, near a window or on a roof, as the antenna has a long coax cable that is provided with it. If there are issues while using the WWAN passive antenna, the additional gain from the active embedded Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) mitigates the cable loss and provides better performance for the GNSS operation.

NOTE: Dell Technologies does not provide the GNSS antenna. You can purchase an active GNSS antenna separately.
NOTE: If you use the dedicated GPS port with an external GNSS antenna, then you must send specific AT modem commands to the embedded module to set the appropriate port usage. Otherwise, the device does not receive signals on this port.

Configuring the GPS port for usage with an active antenna

Alternatively, an active GNSS antenna can be purchased to use on the GPS port and configured for use.

In order for, the active GNSS antenna to work as designed when installed on the GPS port, the integrated LNA of the antenna requires a voltage supply from the LTE module. The GNSS antenna also requires the RF port to be set correctly to the GPS port on the VEP1420-LTE. Both functions are controlled with AT commands that are sent to the module. If an active GNSS antenna is used, you must send the AT commands to the module.

The following table describes the commands necessary to support the GPS RF port instead of the AUX RF port:

NOTE:This command is applicable only to the GPS RF port and not to the AUX port. This voltage is meant for use with an active GNSS antenna.

GNSS antenna specifications for use with GPS port

If the WWAN antenna does not meet expected GNSS performance specifications, Dell Technologies recommends an active GNSS antenna. See the following table for the specifications for using an active GNSS antenna.

Power consumption <100 mA
NOTE: This power is the maximum power that is provided by the embedded module.

The following figure shows an example block diagram of the internal components of an active GNSS antenna meant for use on the GPS port of the VEP1420-LTE. The active GNSS antenna may have one or two internal LNAs. The active GNSS antenna should have at least one SAW filter that is positioned after the antenna and before the first LNA to avoid degradation due to WWAN transmissions such as LTE.

The following figure shows a GNSS antenna cable that can connect to the GPS port:

NOTE: You cannot plug in a GNSS active antenna into the AUX port of the VEP1420-LTE, as it is not an active port. Meaning, the AUX RF port does not supply DC voltage on its center RF pin.. The AUX port is meant for a WWAN antenna covering cellular bands and GNSS.

Sending AT commands to the embedded module

If you are using the GPS port with a GNSS active antenna or the AUX port with the WWAN antenna, you must configure the ports first before usage. For more details, see the GNSS antenna support options section.

In order to send AT commands to the module, you must use the Linux program - Minicom - to communicate serially with the modem while the modem manager is not running. The following list provides steps to configure the RF port to use and validate its performance:

NOTE:It is necessary to boot into the DIAG operating system to configure and test GNSS.
  1. From the Linux command line, stop the modem manager and verify whether it has stopped running.
    systemctl stop ModemManager
    mmcli -L
    
    Figure 5. Stop the Modem manager. Stop the Modem manager
    Stop the modem manager
  2. Open the Minicom to communicate with the modem.
    minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2
    Figure 6. Open Minicom. Open Minicom
    Open minicom
  3. In Minicom, enter the ati command to ensure communication. If the modem responds, then the modem is communicating properly.
    Figure 7. Modem response. Modem response
    Modem response
  4. Set the RF port to the wanted GNSS port of the VEP1420-LTE as described in the GNSS antenna support options section.
    NOTE:Choose only one of the following options:
    1. WWAN antenna (Standard) - These commands set the GNSS functionality to the AUX port.
      Figure 8. RF port configuration command (AUX port). RF port configuration command (AUX port)
      WWAN antenna commands
    2. Active GNSS antenna (Purchased separately) - Enter the commands shown in the following Figure to switch to the GPS port and to set the voltage for this port:
      Figure 9. RF port configuration (GPS port) and active voltage AT commands. RF port configuration (GPS port) and active voltage AT commands
      Active GPS antenna commands
  5. If you use the WWAN antenna on the AUX port, ensure that it is installed.
  6. If you use the active antenna on the GPS port, ensure that it is installed.
  7. Configure the module to initiate a GPS position fix. To achieve a position fix, use the GNSS validation - Method 2 . You must query the GPS position fix status multiple times until a fix is determined. Use the at!gpsstatus? Command for this purpose. The following Figure shows that the multiple queries ran on the Minicom tool:
