Inmarsat Beam Fixed/Directional Antenna Passive (ISD700)

The Inmarsat Beam Fixed/Directional Antenna Passive (ISD700) is a professional-grade product designed for reliable performance in business-critical and industrial environments. Built to meet commercial standards, it is suitable for daily operational use.

The ISD700 is a land-based, passive satellite antenna specifically engineered for fixed-site applications. It is designed to provide a high-quality link to the Inmarsat GSPS service by allowing users to point the antenna directly toward the satellite from a stationary location. This directional capability ensures optimal signal strength for remote offices, field outposts, or industrial facilities where a permanent satellite communication interface is required.

Key Product Features

• Inmarsat Type Approved: Fully certified for use on the Inmarsat satellite network.
• High-Quality Fixed Solution: Ruggedised enclosure specifically designed for long-term outdoor installation at fixed sites.
• Adjustable Mounting Bracket: Supplied with hardware that allows the antenna to be precisely pointed at the satellite.
• Passive Technology: Operates without the need for an external power supply at the antenna head.
• Dual Connectivity: Features direct-to-base SMA female connections for both GSPS (Satellite) and GPS services.

What’s Included

• 1x ISD700 Passive Directional Antenna
• 1x Adjustable Pole/Mast Mounting Bracket (U-Bolt)
• Installation Guide

Installation & Usage

The ISD700 is intended for permanent pole or mast mounting at a fixed land-based location.

• Mount the antenna on a stable pole or mast using the provided adjustable bracket.
• Align the antenna by pointing it in the direction of the Inmarsat GSPS satellite relevant to the installation coverage area.
• Connect the GSPS and GPS cables directly to the base of the antenna using Beam-certified passive cable kits.

Usage Tip: This antenna is strictly for land-based fixed installations; it should never be used in maritime or vehicular environments as it requires precise directional alignment to function.
