Description
Durable and Flexible Antenna for Vehicle Installations
The Iridium Beam Whip Dual Mode Antenna (RST706B) is designed to meet the rugged demands of land-based vehicles operating in challenging environments. Its whip design allows for increased roofline clearance, providing excellent flexibility in installation. Whether mounted on bull bars, roof racks, or poles, this antenna ensures reliable satellite connectivity for both communication and navigation needs. It supports both Iridium and GNSS networks, making it ideal for fleet management, remote tracking, or emergency services.
Designed for Tough Conditions
Built with a durable fiberglass radome, aluminum ferrules, and a stainless steel spring, the RST706B is made to withstand the harshest conditions, including extreme temperatures, heavy winds, and tough terrain. Its IP67 rating ensures it is weatherproof and dustproof, while its right-hand circular polarization and 5dBi gain guarantee consistent, strong signal performance even in challenging environments. This makes it the perfect solution for vehicles that frequently travel off-road or in remote locations.
Cost-Effective and Easy to Install
The RST706B is a cost-effective solution that includes 5 meters of both Iridium and GNSS antenna cables, reducing setup complexity and installation time. Its flexibility in mounting options and high-quality materials ensure it provides long-lasting performance, all backed by a 12-month repair or replacement warranty. The whip-style design is ideal for vehicles requiring increased roofline clearance while maintaining robust communication capabilities.
