The 2J7426MPz by 2J Antennas is a high-performance compact antenna certified for use with the Iridium satellite communication system. Manufactured from polycarbonate (PC) and acrylic-styrene-acrylate terpolymer (ASA), it offers strong resistance to UV, moisture, and heat for reliable outdoor operation.

Waterproof to IP69, the antenna is designed for harsh environments with frequent exposure to water, dust, and debris. The magnetic mount allows easy installation and removal between vehicles or assets, and can be converted to adhesive mounting for permanent installations. Delivered with a 3 m LL100 coaxial cable and SMA-male connector.
