Iridium Automotive Magnetic Mount Antenna, 2M RG-174

The KC.GA.00118 is a high-performance magnetic mount antenna engineered for efficient communication with the Iridium® Satellite Communication system. Specifically designed to operate on a 30×30cm ground plane, this antenna ensures optimal signal transmission and reception.​
Leveraging TOXU' ceramic expertise, the KC.GA.00118 integrates a ceramic patch tuned to the antenna environment, enhancing stability. Its housing is constructed for durability—corrosion-proof, waterproof to IP67, and suitable for rugged environments. The magnetic mount allows quick installation/removal between vehicles or assets, and can be easily converted to an adhesive mount for flexible deployment.​
Certified by Iridium® for commercial use with their communication system, the KC.GA.00118 meets rigorous industry standards.
