The ZIR-1626-RC is a ZCG Scalar satellite communications antenna engineered for reliable operation across the 1616-1626 MHz L-band, supporting satellite phone and satellite data communications where dependable connectivity is required beyond the reach of terrestrial networks. Delivering 3 dB gain in a compact 860 mm black fibreglass radome, the antenna is designed for professional fixed and mobile installations operating in demanding environments. Optimised for L-band satellite communications, the ZIR-1626-RC is well suited to satellite telephony, remote voice and data services, emergency response, defence, mining, maritime, transport, and remote infrastructure where continuous communications are essential. The antenna features a controlled radiation pattern, providing coverage over a horizontal sector of -15° to +60°, making it suitable for installations where the antenna can be orientated towards the intended satellite service. This directional characteristic helps optimise signal performance within the required coverage area. Supplied with 5 metres of low-loss RG58 coaxial cable terminated with a TNC male connector, the antenna integrates easily with compatible satellite communication equipment and terminals. Its rugged construction is designed to withstand long-term outdoor exposure while maintaining dependable RF performance in harsh environments. For applications requiring integrated satellite communications and GPS functionality, ZCG Scalar also offers the ZIR-1626-RC-GPS, combining both services into a single antenna assembly. Combining L-band satellite coverage, controlled directional performance, rugged construction, and dependable long-term reliability, the ZIR-1626-RC from ZCG Scalar is a professional antenna solution for satellite communication systems operating in remote and mission-critical environments.
