Hello everyone and welcome back to another Friday Product Post here at SparkFun Electronics! We have one product for you this week, but that doesn't mean this antenna is any less important! This week we are happy to bring you the new External Iridium® Certified Compact Magnetic Adhesive Mount Antenna. This antenna is specifically designed to connect to the Iridium Satellite Network and can easily be considered a must-have for satellite communications projects. Now let's take a closer look!
The 2J7426MPz by 2J Antennas is a high performance magnetic mount antenna which is designed specifically to communicate efficiently with the Iridium® Satellite Communication system. Manufactured with high quality polycarbonate (PC) and acrylic-styrene-acrylate terpolymer (ASA), a thermoplastic combination that offers strong resistance to UV, moisture, heat and enhances mechanical properties.
The antenna housing is waterproof to IP69 and designed to operate in extremely harsh environments, including those with frequent exposure to water, dust, and debris.
