Page 3: Introduction
1 Introduction 1.1 System Overview and Limitations The LTE65 is a 4G-LTE based telemetry modem designed for real time telemetry data transfer on racetrack. The combination of LTE65 with RaceConnect cloud provides a highly flexible telemetry data distribution platform, where one transmitter can send to many re- ceivers and many transmitters can send to one receiver. -

Mating Connector: ASDD606-09SN 2.2 Recommended Antennas Antennas used with the LTE65 should be purchased from Bosch Motorsport or an Author- ized dealer. FCC and CE certifications are conditional on the type of antenna used. Bosch Motorsport has performed testing to select the antennas with the best efficiency for motorsport applications. -
Page 7: Installation
Installation | 3 3 Installation Mount the LTE65 transmitter device in the vehicle in a place that will remain relatively dry and away from direct heat sources. The receiver device should be placed on the pit stand in free air. - Page 8 A picture of the GT style antenna is below for reference. 3.2.2 Prototype/Open Wheel The Prototype/Open Wheel antenna available from Bosch Motorsport is sold with two an- tennas in the box and both are used for one device. Recommended torque spec for the antenna connection: 4 in-lbs (0.45 Nm) Suggested installation locations shown in the figure below.

When installing antennas, ensure that you are not spinning the cable or antenna body rel- ative to the LTE65. To tighten the SMA connection, only turn the collar of the cable or an- tenna. Spinning the entire cable or antenna can lead to damage of the internal co-ax cable of the LTE65 and reduced RF performance. -
