2J6026B Iridium screw mount Antenna Low Profile

This low-profile antenna is engineered for optimal Iridium satellite connectivity, delivering reliable performance within the 1616–1627 MHz frequency range. Its compact design and ground plane independence make it ideal for a wide range of global satellite communication applications, including commercial, emergency, transportation, and asset tracking systems. The hemispherical radiation pattern ensures consistent signal strength and quality, while right-hand circular polarization (RHCP) helps reject multi-path interference. Durable ABS housing provides protection in extreme environments, and the antenna is certified to IP67 standards for water and dust resistance. Customizable cable lengths and connector types are available to suit various installation needs.
