The antenna is manufactured with great attention to detail and high mechanical precision. Traditionally, its primary application was Studio-to-Transmitter Link (STL) communication, providing reliable point-to-point radio links between broadcasting studios and FM transmitter sites. Today, its range of applications has expanded significantly to cover numerous professional wireless and satellite communication systems.
The antenna is supplied as standard with an N-female connector. It can also be supplied with a RAYTRA aluminium enclosure or prepared with pressed mounting studs for installation of the customer's own enclosure. In this configuration, an SMA connector is typically used.
Typical applications include:
Studio-to-Transmitter Links (STL) – reliable transmission of audio and data signals from broadcasting studios to FM radio transmitter sites. Unlike internet-based solutions, dedicated radio links provide excellent operational stability and independence from Internet Service Providers.
Meteorological satellites – reception of LRIT/HRIT weather data broadcasts and telemetry from geostationary meteorological satellites such as Meteosat, GOES, and similar systems. Around 1691 MHz, this band is used for the distribution of meteorological imagery, telemetry, and weather data for meteorological stations.
Satellite telemetry – transmission and reception of operational data, diagnostics, and satellite control information.
Satellite Internet of Things (Satellite IoT) – communication with remote sensors, monitoring devices, and data acquisition systems via satellite networks. These technologies are widely used in energy, agriculture, transportation, and critical infrastructure monitoring.
SCADA and industrial telemetry – collection of operational data from remote locations where terrestrial communication networks are unavailable or unreliable. Satellite communication enables monitoring and control of industrial facilities, water management systems, oil and gas pipelines, and electrical power distribution networks.
Research and university applications – reception of experimental satellite transmissions and development of L-band communication systems for research and educational purposes.
