Beam CVTIRI Iridium Covert Anti-Piracy Antenna

Discreet Maritime Antenna for Secure Satellite Communications

Part Number: CVTIRI

The Beam CVTIRI Covert Antenna is a specialised solution designed for maritime security, helping protect communication capabilities in anti-piracy scenarios. Engineered to appear as a standard onboard fixture, the antenna is discreetly disguised to prevent detection and tampering by unauthorised personnel.

Built using the same proven antenna elements as the RST702, the CVTIRI provides reliable Iridium satellite communication and optional GNSS (GPS) functionality while maintaining a low-profile appearance suitable for vessel installations.

Key Features

• Covert Design – Disguised to resemble standard maritime equipment
• Anti-Piracy Solution – Maintains communication capability if visible antennas are damaged
• Dual Mode Support – Supports Iridium satellite and GNSS (GPS) connectivity
• IP66 Rated – Suitable for harsh marine environments
• Durable Construction – Polycarbonate housing with aluminium base
• Easy Installation – Similar installation process to RST702 antenna
• Wide Compatibility – Works with Beam docking units and Iridium terminals
