D2296-OL-LED Dipole Antenna
The D2296-OL-LED Dipole Antenna with Obstruction Light military-grade omni-directional dipole antenna with integrated obstruction light, supporting dual VHF (116–150 MHz) and UHF (225–400 MHz) for reliable ground-to-air communications in defense and air traffic control environments.
Description
The D2296-OL-LED Dipole Antenna with obstruction light is a robust, military-grade omni-directional dipole antenna, specifically designed for critical ground-to-air communications in military, defense, and FAA-regulated air traffic control operations. It features an integrated obstruction light, which enhances airfield and operational safety by ensuring visibility in low-light and restricted visibility conditions.
Engineered for multi-band performance, the D2296-OL-LED operates across two VHF outputs (116-150 MHz) and one UHF output (225-400 MHz), allowing for simultaneous, interference-free multi-frequency connectivity. Its 360-degree omnidirectional coverage ensures uninterrupted, long-range communication between ground stations and aircraft, optimizing signal clarity and efficiency for tactical aviation, military bases, and defense networks.
Built to meet military specifications, the D2296-OL-LED is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, ensuring long-term durability and reliable performance in critical defense and aviation applications.
