The Catalyst DA1 antenna is used to provide high quality GNSS data to your phone or tablet. The antenna simply attaches to your Android device via USB cable, which is also used to deliver power to or from the antenna. The antenna is designed to simply be push-fitted to a 1.25" diameter pole, and also come with a removable ⅝" thread adapter for using the antenna with standard mapping and surveying accessories. The DA1 antenna ships with the following standard items.
If your Android device uses the new USB Type C form factor, you will need a third-party USB microB to USB type C converter to use Catalyst. To fully support Catalyst, your USB converter cable supports the USB OTG standard.
Device mounting
There are a huge range of styles and sizes of smartphone and tablets that you can use with Trimble Catalyst. Contact your device vendor for mounting and carrying options that are compatible with your device. For range pole mounting, Trimble recommends the modular X-grip series of rugged device mount.
