Passive Antennas: Iridium
Use with the Iridium 9505A or 9555 satellite phones to deliver exceptional reception performance for permanent in-building or marine applications.
Passive Antennas: Iridium
Iridium satphones were designed to operate with a passive antenna, either an element attached directly to the handset, or a remote aerial connected with a short length of coaxial cable. Passives can work up to 20 meters (65 feet) with Iridium depending upon the cable used and the connectors.
