Any word yet on availability of an antenna for the Electron? Or links to ones we can pick up somewhere like Mouser? They’ve got about a billion [http://www.mouser.com/Passive-Components/Antennas/\_/N-8w0fa](http://www.mouser.com/Passive-Components/Antennas/_/N-8w0fa) so any help narrowing it down would be appreciated. 😄

Should we be looking for 1,900MHz or do we need the full 850/900/1,800/1,900 spectrum?

Thanks!

@will, @BDub and @mohit should have more information

It would be great to know if Electron is shipped with an antenna. If yes then would it be internal or external. If not what are your recommendations. Any insights into this would help us.

Thanks

The [BOM](https://github.com/spark/electron/tree/master/bom) is showing that [this antenna](http://www.taoglas.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/PC104.07.0165C.pdf) will be included.

How would the Duck Antenna perform when exposed to elements (Sun & Rain) ?
