Industry-Leading Performance and Robustness for Marine Applications
2J Antennas is expanding its “Big Medusa'' series by adding the new high performance heavy-duty Iridium Quadrifilar Helix (QHA) antenna (2J7B26JB-C177N-B16J). This industry-leading passive antenna provides superior connection to the Iridium network with a high peak gain of 2.7 dBi in low elevation angles while maintaining a 86.4% efficiency (far above the industry standards). This helical antenna is unique in its simplicity of design and has an extremely low axial ratio below 3 dB that optimizes the circular polarization and delivers superior performance worldwide.
Big Medusa is a simple solution to the problem of non geosynchronous satellite connections where most antenna designs focus on extended range, receiving signals over large arcs, but having null spots directly overhead or at other inopportune locations. Extremely robust and waterproof, this design was developed for marine applications where reliability and mission critical communications are the number one priority during extreme weather conditions.
Suggested applications include:
Iridium voice and data applications
Marine
Boats, Yachts and Ships
Public Safety/ Coast Guard
Mission Critical Communication
Law enforcement and public safety
