CPI Series 2244 2.4 M C-Band Linear Rx/Tx High-Wind Antenna

CPI Series 2244 2.4 M C-Band Linear Rx/Tx High-Wind Antenna

The CPI Series 2244 2.4 M C-Band Linear Rx/Tx High-Wind Antenna provides reliable two-way satellite communications for commercial, government, broadcast, and enterprise networks.

Its four-piece, glass-fiber-reinforced SMC reflector uses offset-fed prime-focus optics to deliver high gain, low sidelobes, and excellent linear cross-polarization performance across standard C-band frequencies.

Designed for demanding fixed earth station installations, the antenna withstands survival winds up to 150 mph and operates in temperatures from -40°C to +60°C. Available now at Esatcom Inc.
