Sample Installations
All these Antenna installations provide the best possible view to the horizon – therefore
optimising the Iridium system by providing the best connection with the satellites.
To optimise Iridium performance ALL possible obstructions need to be removed between
the top of the antenna and the horizon
Lightning Protection
Antennas mounted in fixed installations can be exposed to lightning strikes.
As complete protection is difficult, BEAM recommends incorporating specialized lightning
arrestor/surge suppression components into the antenna system to provide this protection.
Install this suppressor at either of the following locations:
Nearest the point at which the coaxial cable enters a building structure
Where the cable first passes close to a grounded structure
Follow manufacturer installation instructions and if you are uncertain about any aspect of your
installations seek assistance from a professional antenna installer.
