Introducing a Cutting-edge Ruggedized Antenna for Enhanced Dialogue

Southwest Antennas has unveiled an innovative, high-performance ruggedized antenna designed for Iridium and passive GPS L1 applications, catering specifically to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs).

Compact Design with Superior Performance

This compact quadrifilar helical antenna boasts an extraordinary axial ratio and a lightweight structure. It features a recessed TNC(m) non-rotating RF connector and is rated IP67, making it an excellent choice for unmanned systems, autonomous vehicles, and various automated or remote operations where minimizing antenna size is crucial.

Global Communication Capabilities

The antenna facilitates Iridium transmission and reception, enabling two-way voice and data communication from virtually any location worldwide. When integrated with an Iridium radio and an appropriate data service plan, users can maintain connectivity in areas with an unobstructed view of the sky.

Enhanced GPS Functionality

Additionally, the antenna supports GPS L1, providing precise timing and location services for any compatible radio system. Its radiation pattern offers a broad, 120-degree hemispherical coverage area, optimizing satellite acquisition time by maximizing sky visibility.
