Comant CI-490-490

Overview

Comant has developed the first Iridium band antenna that meets the FAA's tough, new TSO standard C159a. Newly designed narrow band patches provide unmatched efficiency.

The ComDat CI 490-490 is a high performance communications antenna specifically designed for Iridium systems, and features our standard round-format footprint and mounting.

Through a constellation of 66 low-earth orbiting (LEO) satellites, Iridium delivers essential communications services to and from areas where terrestrial communication are not available.
