The BlueRobotics BaseStation Directional Antenna Kit - Panel Antenna - Mid Range enhances the communication capabilities of the BaseStation by replacing the standard omnidirectional antenna. This kit offers a mid-range upgrade with a directional antenna that features a 40-degree beamwidth, allowing for improved signal focus towards the BlueBoat. This focused signal transmission is particularly beneficial for long-range missions, as it significantly extends the communication range compared to the default omnidirectional setup.
The kit includes all necessary components for installation on the BaseStation, ensuring a seamless upgrade process. For optimal performance, it is recommended to mount the antenna on a tripod at least 1.5 meters above the ground, with higher elevations providing even better results. The directional nature of the antenna allows for a practical communication range of up to 500 meters at sea level, making it a suitable choice for various marine applications.
