ASE-FA20 ASE Certified Antenna Kit (20 Meter)

The ASE-FA20 is a professional-grade, passive satellite antenna solution engineered by Applied Satellite Engineering (ASE). This certified kit is designed for fixed installations—such as remote offices, maritime vessels, or industrial facilities—that require a stable Iridium satellite link over long distances.

By utilising high-performance LMR-600 cabling, the ASE-FA20 ensures that signal attenuation (loss) is kept to an absolute minimum over its 20-meter reach. This allows for the indoor placement of docking stations or terminals while maintaining a high-integrity connection to the Iridium constellation from an optimal outdoor mounting point.

Key Product Features

• Extended 20-Meter (66') Reach: Provides 20 meters of specialised cabling to accommodate large-scale buildings or vessels where the terminal is located far from the rooftop.
• High-Performance LMR-600 Coax: Features ultra-low-loss LMR-600 cabling, which is superior to standard coaxial grades for preserving signal strength over long runs.
• Passive Antenna Module: Includes a ruggedised passive Iridium antenna element built to withstand extreme weather conditions, UV exposure, and salt spray.
• Certified Reliability: ASE-certified components guarantee that the system meets the precise RF performance standards required for 24/7 Iridium voice and data operations.

What’s Included

The ASE-FA20 is a complete, ready-to-deploy antenna kit consisting of:

• 1x Passive Iridium Antenna Element
• 1x 20-Meter (66 Feet) LMR-600 Low-Loss Coaxial Cable
• 1x Heavy-Duty Mounting Bracket and Hardware

Installation & Usage

The ASE-FA20 is optimised for permanent professional installation:

• Optimal Placement: Mount the antenna at the highest rigid point available with a clear, 360-degree view of the sky to maximise satellite visibility.
• Cable Management: Route the 20-meter LMR-600 cable from the antenna to your Iridium docking station (such as the ASE-9575 or ComCenter series). Ensure the cable is secured and protected from sharp edges.
• Indoor Connectivity: Connect the cable lead to the TNC-Female antenna port of your terminal to immediately improve indoor signal reception.

Ideal Applications

• Large Maritime Vessels: Providing a consistent satellite signal to bridge-mounted electronics from a mast-mounted antenna.
• Remote Corporate Facilities: Essential for indoor satellite phone use in mining sites, energy plants, or isolated research stations.
• Critical Infrastructure: Ensuring "always-ready" communication for emergency services and government command centres.
• Fixed Remote Sites: High-performance connectivity for semi-permanent field offices or mobile command units.
