CI 490-490 Single Channel Iridium SATCOM
(DAI Part# CI490-490)
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.
