ASE Vehicle Bolt Mount Antenna (IRI/GPS) - 5m Cables (ASE-DMA5-B)

The ASE Vehicle Bolt Mount Antenna (IRI/GPS) (ASE-DMA5-B) is a professional-grade, permanent-mount dual-mode antenna manufactured by ASE (Applied Satellite Engineering) in partnership with BSN-NAL. This high-performance antenna is engineered for mission-critical mobile applications, providing simultaneous, high-gain access to both the Iridium satellite network and GPS/GNSS constellations through a single, ruggedised housing.

Unlike magnetic variants, the ASE-DMA5-B is designed for secure, permanent installation via a bolt-mount mechanism. This ensures the antenna remains fixed and functional under extreme conditions, such as high-speed travel, heavy vibrations, and severe weather, making it the preferred choice for government, military, and industrial fleet deployments.

Key Product Features

• Permanent Bolt-Mount: Designed for a secure "through-hole" installation, providing a theft-deterrent and vibration-resistant connection to the vehicle chassis or maritime bulkhead.
• Dual-Mode Functionality: Combines Iridium and GPS into a single low-profile unit, minimising roof penetrations and simplifying cable management.
• Premium LMR200 Cabling: Included with two 5-metre (16.4ft) LMR200 low-loss cables, which optimise signal strength and ensure clear voice/data transmission compared to standard thinner cables.
• Ruggedised Protection: Built to withstand industrial environmental stresses, including UV exposure, salt spray, and extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Optimised Performance: Engineered to provide a consistent 360-degree horizon view, essential for maintaining a lock on Iridium satellites in remote or moving environments.

What’s Included

• 1x Dual-Mode Iridium/GPS Bolt-Mount Antenna
• 1x Permanent Mounting Hardware (Bolt/Nut/Gasket)
• 1x 5m (16.4ft) LMR200 Iridium Satellite Cable
• 1x 5m (16.4ft) LMR200 GPS Cable

Installation & Usage

The ASE-DMA5-B is designed for professional installation with ASE or NAL docking stations.

• Identify a flat surface on the vehicle roof or cabin top with a clear, unobstructed view of the sky.
• Requires a through-hole for the mounting bolt and cable routing. Ensure the area is properly sealed with the provided gasket to maintain the vehicle's weather integrity.
• Route the 5m LMR200 cables to the internal docking station, avoiding sharp edges or moving mechanical parts.
• Connect the specific Iridium and GPS leads to the corresponding ports on the back of the docking terminal.
