Everything you need to develop a solution with the Astrocast IoT network
Astronode Patch Antenna
Bidirectional communication in the L-Band as well as GNSS reception for tracking purposes.
Passive antenna with minimal footprint for cost-effective satellite connectivity.
L-Band enables the design of compact antennas with good performance in all weather conditions.
Take your IoT strategy further
The Astronode Patch Antenna generally works best with a ground plane of at least 65 mm x 65 mm. What’s more, Astrocast will be happy to assist you in selecting the best-suited antenna and its optimal implementation for your application. Get in touch to discuss your specific needs.
There is no need for additional components. However, the antenna line on the PCB has to be carefully designed to match 50 Ohm impedance.
Yes, our multi-band antenna can serve both the data communication over the Astrocast network as well as receive GNSS data for a third-party receiver. Please refer to our technical documentation for design guidelines.
