Introduction The IAA.01 is a high-performance magnetic mount antenna which is designed specific to communicate efficiently with the Iridium® Satellite Communication system. The IAA.01 has been specifically designed to 1. work on a 30*30cm ground plane. Introduction The IAA.01 utilises the Taoglas expertise in ceramics by incorporating a ceramic patch tuned specifically for the antenna environment, giving greater stability. The antenna housing is strong, corrosive proof and 1. Introduction waterproof to IP67. The magnetic mount allows for easy installation and removal between vehicles or assets, it is easily converted to an adhesive type for greater flexibility. 1. Introduction Iridium® has certified the IAA.01.121111 Antenna for commercial use in connection with the Iridium Communications System.
