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