Scantronic COM-ANT-02 | External Cellular Antenna | For 4G/GSM Communicators
£35.50 (inc VAT: £42.60)
Summary
The Scantronic COM-ANT-02 is an external WiFi antenna designed to extend the wireless range of Eaton Scantronic communication modules. When intruder alarm control panels are installed in locations with weak WiFi signal or within metal enclosures that attenuate wireless signals, this antenna provides the solution for establishing reliable connectivity to the SecureConnect cloud platform.
Featuring a generous 5-metre cable length, the COM-ANT-02 allows installers to position the antenna in optimal locations for maximum signal strength, regardless of where the control panel is mounted. The antenna connects via MMCX connector to compatible COM-DATA modules, enabling remote system management, alarm notifications and user app access through the Eaton SecureConnect service.
This external antenna is an essential accessory for installations where the built-in antenna of the COM-DATA-WIFI module cannot achieve adequate WiFi signal strength, particularly in commercial premises with thick walls, metal structures or where the control panel location is far from the WiFi router.

FAQ
What is the Scantronic COM-ANT-02 used for?
The COM-ANT-02 is an external WiFi antenna designed to improve wireless signal reception for Scantronic alarm communication modules. It is essential when the control panel is installed in a location where the built-in antenna cannot achieve adequate WiFi connectivity, such as within metal enclosures, basements, or premises with thick walls. The antenna ensures reliable connection to the Eaton SecureConnect cloud service for remote monitoring and control.
Which Scantronic communication modules are compatible with the COM-ANT-02?
The COM-ANT-02 is compatible with the Scantronic COM-DATA-WIFI WiFi-only communicator module and the COM-DATA-4G-WIFI dual-path communicator. Both modules feature an MMCX connector specifically designed for connecting an external WiFi antenna when the built-in antenna is insufficient for the installation environment.
How long is the cable on the COM-ANT-02?
The COM-ANT-02 features a 5-metre cable length, providing installers with flexibility to position the antenna in an optimal location for WiFi signal reception. This generous cable length allows the antenna to be routed away from the control panel enclosure and mounted in a position with better line of sight to the WiFi router or access point.
Where should the COM-ANT-02 antenna be installed?
The antenna should be positioned outside of the control panel enclosure and away from metal surfaces or obstructions that could interfere with the WiFi signal. For optimal results, mount the antenna as close to the WiFi router as practical, or in a location with clear line of sight to the access point. Avoid installing near sources of electrical interference such as fluorescent lighting or heavy machinery.
What WiFi frequencies does the COM-ANT-02 support?
The COM-ANT-02 operates on the 2.4GHz WiFi frequency band and supports IEEE 802.11 B/G/N wireless standards. This matches the WiFi capability of the COM-DATA-WIFI and COM-DATA-4G-WIFI communication modules, which operate at 2.4GHz with a maximum power output of 18dBm.
Is the COM-ANT-02 included with COM-DATA-WIFI modules?
The COM-DATA-WIFI and COM-DATA-4G-WIFI modules include a built-in antenna and an MMCX connector for an external antenna. The COM-ANT-02 is sold separately as an optional accessory for installations where the internal antenna cannot achieve satisfactory WiFi signal strength.
