Basic Details
The Inmarsat fiber repeater system is supplied as a ready-to-install kit that includes an outdoor-rated unit, an indoor unit, cabling, and antennas. The ODU is supplied with an IP65 outdoor-rated AC-to-DC power supply. A dual-zone system doubles the hangar coverage. The fiber optic cable between the indoor and outdoor units enables remote and flexible placement of outdoor antennas. Fiber optic cable requirements should be confirmed based on the selected installation.

What optical specifications are used in the system?
The system uses a single FC/APC optical connector, CWDM operating wavelength, +3 dBm laser optical power output, and a 3 dB optical budget.
What antenna configuration is used for Inmarsat and GNSS signals?
The Inmarsat section uses directional RHCP antennas, while GNSS uses an active SAW-filtered outdoor omni antenna and a passive indoor omni antenna.
What are the indoor and outdoor unit dimensions?
Both the indoor and outdoor units measure 34 cm L x 29 cm W x 14.2 cm H.
Which RF connector type is used by the indoor and outdoor units?
Both the indoor and outdoor units use N-Type female RF connectors.
Which models are available for ordering?
The solution is available in four hangar-optimized kit options: INMRKIT01-H-L1, INMRKIT01-H-L125, INMRKIT01-DH-L1, and INMRKIT01-DH-L125. These include standard and dual-zone configurations, with GPS L1 or expanded GPS L1/L2/L5 support depending on the selected model.
