Veripos maintains many different types of antennas for use with Veripos demodulators and GNSS hardware. The antenna is a necessary piece of equipment that enables the user to receive either the Veripos data broadcast services or track satellites in a GNSS constellation such as GPS.
L-Band Antennas
Veripos services are transmitted via L-band communications satellites and in order for the user to receive the Veripos data broadcast services, a suitable L-band antenna is requried. In addition the services are transmitted at two different power levels; high-power and low-power both of which require different types of antenna.
The level of signal radiated by high-power means that reliable reception can be attained through the use of a small and compact omni-directional antenna. Veripos maintains a comprehensive stock of omni-directional antennas which are compatible with all Veripos demodulators.
The low-power signal requires use of a larger stabilsed antenna in order to receive the data broadcast services. This is normally achieved through using a vessel's Inmarsat communication terminal.
GNSS Antennas
A suitable GNSS antenna is required in order to track satellites in the GPS or GLONASS constellations. Veripos utilise a range of various antennas that can be used with single or dual frequency GPS receivers. In addition suitable antennas for use with GLONASS receivers are also available.
The antennas used by Veripos are very robust, compact and durable designed for use in harsh environments such as the offshore market.
