IRIDIUM
Inmarsat equipment
The operating frequency bands of the iridium and Inmarsat systems are neighbours, and it is not in any way by
any technical solution possible to completely separate these bands. This means that interference from Inmarsat
can be expected, especially if the antennas are placed near each other. The distance between the antennas
Should be as far as possible.
If in any way the user experiences trouble using Iridium because of Inmarsat, a filter can be provided as an
option. This filter is placed in a suitable place between the antenna and the transceiver. The filter is a passive
type not requiring external power but the filter loss of 1.2 dB have to be added to the total cable loss between
the transceiver and the antenna. Please contact your dealer for further information.
The table below shows the distance to other Inmarsat equipment, with and without use of filter.
