Description
The LPB modem delivers exceptional low power consumption (< 1 W idle) for off-the-grid installations. Both modem and antenna are IP-67 rated for outdoor use and can also be installed below ground-surface for inconspicuous operation. A thin layer of dry, non-metallic material over the antenna is permissible during TX/RX operation.
Package includes:
- Low profile BGAN (LPB) modem
- Low profile, lay flat, passive antenna
- 3 m RF antenna cable (TNC)
