CS LH + RH Quad Antenna

The CS Quad antenna is a multipurpose airborne certifiable antenna which covers a wide range of airborne applications.

The CS antennas are engineered to harness the whole mobile network frequency spectrum for fast and reliable high-throughput connections. Four wide-band radiators with orthogonal MIMO polarization cover the entire cellular frequency spectrum.

A supplementary antenna element with circular polarization and upward radiation pattern is used for the GNNS / Iridium network. This antenna element complies with the guidelines for commercial usage of the Iridium satellite network.

The quad antenna design which incorporates 4ea. antenna poles, so one antenna replaces up to 4ea. legacy antennas on aircraft. The antennas are designed for helicopter and fixed wing aircraft rooftop mount to enable a interference-free cell network and/or WiFi operation.

It is the industry’s first wideband 4-pole antenna in a single lightweight blade design. As the system is designed in close cooperation with BKM-MICRONIC and team2technologies for rugged airborne applications, we are valued partners for full integration support and expert-based lifetime assistance.

The CS LH and CS RH antennas are future-proof, smart, secure, reliable, and longtime available investments.

The MLX100 system enables all types of airborne applications within a frequency range from 0.7 to 4.0 GHz. Typical applications are connectivity with mobile cell-network and WLAN- (MESH network) requirements or video-video-downlink applications. In addition, also public security applications in co-existence with IMSI-catchers are covered. Typical applications are connectivity, mission systems, public safety, emergency medical transport (HEMS/telemedicine), passenger connectivity and in-flight entertainment (IFEC).

In addition, aircraft tracking, asset management or automated aircraft data storage and transmission applications are enabled. Another use case is unattended wireless Inflight entertainment content on- transfer from and to airliner applications.
