VertexRSI announced today it has received three Intelsat Type Approval Certificates for its new carbon fiber 2.4-Meter Ku and C-Band antenna for vehicle mounted applications.

Certificate number IA100A00 has been received for the VertexRSI 2.4-Meter SMK-LT-15751 Ku-band standard E-1 Antenna equipped with a 2–port feed. Certificates IA098A00 and IA099A00 have been received for VertexRSI’s 2.4 SMC-LT-2712C CP (circularly polarized) and 2.4 SMC/LT-2837B (linearly polarized) versions of this product for Standard H3 and G applications..

Jeff Porter, Vice President and General Manager of VertexRSI’s Antenna Products, said, “Intelsat Type Approval Certificates allow our SATCOM customers to select VertexRSI antennas with the certainty that the products will meet Intelsat performance standards. VertexRSI’s type approved antennas help lower our customer’s commissioning costs by significantly reducing, and in some cases eliminating, the requirement for field verification testing.”

The product is currently shipping with various integration kits on orders for multiband configurations including L, C, X, Ku and Ka Band applications.
