    IRIDIUM PASSIVE ANTENNA - FA-0

    IRIDIUM APPROVED!
    OVERVIEW
    Iridium satphones were designed to operate with a passive antenna, either an element attached
    directly to the handset, or a remote aerial connected with a short length of coaxial cable. A signal loss
    of more than 3dB in a remote antenna’s connecting cable degrades performance due to attenuation of
    both the received and transmitted signals. A 3dB loss corresponds to approximately 20m of LMR600 or
    6m of LMR240 coaxial cable, lengths that clearly restrict the mounting options for the antenna using
    standard down-leads.
    ASE Fixed Mast Antenna, for use with the Iridium 9505A or 9555 satellite phones delivers exceptional
    reception performance for permanent in-building or marine applications. This antenna is designed for
    free-air operation, no ground plane.

    ASE Fixed Mast Antenna Features:


    - Use with any Iridium Satellite Phone or Dock
    - Completely sealed and contains no moving parts
    - For Threaded Pipe Mounting or Additional Mount
    - Ideal for marine or in-building use
