ASE Vehicle Mag Mount Antenna (IRI/GPS) - 5m Cables (ASE-DMA5-M)

The ASE Vehicle Mag Mount Antenna (IRI/GPS) (ASE-DMA5-M) is a professional-grade dual-mode antenna manufactured by ASE (Applied Satellite Engineering) in collaboration with NAL Research (often marketed under the BSN-NAL brand partnership). This antenna is specifically designed for high-performance mobile and remote environments, providing simultaneous Iridium satellite connectivity and GPS tracking in a single, compact housing.

Engineered for rapid deployment, the ASE-DMA5-M utilises a powerful magnetic base that allows for tool-free installation on vehicle roofs. It is an essential component for fleet operators and emergency responders who require consistent Iridium network access and precise location data without permanent modifications to the vehicle.

Key Product Features

• Dual-Mode Connectivity: Integrates Iridium satellite and GPS (GNSS) elements, simplifying installation and reducing the vehicle's visual footprint.
• High-Strength Magnetic Mount: Provides secure attachment to metallic surfaces, enabling quick removal or transfer between vehicles.
• Premium LMR200 Cabling: Includes two 5-metre (16.4ft) LMR200 cables, which offer significantly lower signal loss than standard RG-type cables, ensuring a more stable satellite link.
• Industrial Durability: Housed in a weather-resistant, low-profile casing designed to withstand the vibrations and UV exposure typical of long-distance vehicle travel.
• Ground Plane Independent: Optimised for consistent signal performance across various mounting surfaces.

What’s Included

• 1x Dual-Mode Iridium/GPS Antenna with Magnetic Base
• 1x 5m (16.4ft) LMR200 Iridium Satellite Cable
• 1x 5m (16.4ft) LMR200 GPS Cable

Installation & Usage

The ASE-DMA5-M is designed for "plug-and-play" integration with Iridium docking stations, particularly the ASE-9575 and 9595 series.

• Place the magnetic antenna at the highest point of the vehicle's roof, with a clear 360-degree line of sight to the sky.
• Route the 5m LMR200 cables through a door seal or cable entry point, ensuring there are no sharp bends or "pinching" of the lines.
• Connect the Iridium cable to the satellite port and the GPS cable to the tracking port of your docking station or terminal.
