Description
The D2296-OL-LED-IR is a rugged, military-grade omni-directional dipole antenna, designed for mission-critical ground-to-air communications in military, defense, and FAA-regulated air traffic control operations. Featuring an integrated infrared (IR) obstruction light, it enhances airspace safety and visibility for night operations and covert environments where traditional obstruction lighting may not be suitable.
Engineered for multi-band performance, the D2296-OL-LED-IR operates with two independent VHF outputs (116-150 MHz) and one UHF output (225-400 MHz), enabling simultaneous, interference-resistant multi-frequency communication. Its 360-degree omnidirectional coverage ensures secure and uninterrupted connectivity between aircraft, ground stations, and command centers, making it a critical asset for military aviation, defense networks, and high-security installations.
Built to military specifications, this antenna is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, ensuring long-term reliability and high-performance communication in demanding operational settings
