RST740 Antenna

The Active/Powered Iridium antenna RST740 is designed for land and maritime applications, particularly where long cable runs are necessary. It is more cost-effective for installations exceeding 20m/60ft, allowing cable runs up to 100m/300ft. The antenna is compatible with all Beam products and Iridium devices, requiring an approved Beam Active Antenna cable for power amplification management.

Key Features
  • Iridium approved
  • High-quality enclosure
  • Active antenna
  • Pole/Mast mounting
  • Small size/footprint
  • Omni-directional
  • Supports long cable runs
  • Includes power breakout box (requires 9-32 VDC)
  • 12-month repair or replacement warranty

Brochure RST740 Iridium Active Antenna-1

RST740 ANTENNA The Active/Powered Iridium antenna RST740 is designed for Land and Maritime applications specifically for use where long cable runs are required to reach between the required antenna location and the terminal. Technical Specifications GENERAL Input Voltage DC Peak Power Draw DC RMS Standby Power Draw Active Antenna Cable Loss FREQUENCY Iridium ENVIRONMENTAL Extreme rain exposure Extreme snow exposure Where an installation exceeds 20m/60ft it becomes more cost effective to use an Active/Powered Iridium antenna that allows much thinner and cheaper cable to run up to 100m/300ft where this would never be possible with a passive Iridium antenna. The Active Antenna RST740 will work on all Beam products and any Iridium devices, however requires an approved Beam Active Antenna cable for use in order to manage the power amplification across the RF line to the antenna.
