A Military Antenna Is Desired In The Private Sector

By Claudine Hodges


Soldiers and technicians all over the United States have developed and tested a wide assortment of communications equipment. This equipment, such as a military antenna, has more than tactical purposes. Many private businesses can utilize this same technology, even purchasing their equipment through merchants who represent the Department of Defense.

The VHF/GPS covers VHF frequencies from 118 to 137 megahertz and GPS at 1575.42 megahertz. The equipment is portable and often fits the 26.5 dB gain GPS panel mount system. Most often this type of tech can be used for small-engine aircraft such as helicopters or single-engine airplanes. Some yacht aficionados keep this particular tool on board, and one might even find it aboard a luxury cruise liner.

Many businesses require a home-base style of equipment, and this can be utilized with the UHF/DECT. Drivers of all varieties, from taxi cabs to tractor trailers running locally have utilized this technology in order to maintain communication. Keeping constant tabs on those who work behind the wheel helps to keep everyone safe.

The typical household may have some version of the UHF/W-LAN found inside. These are the wifi antennas which can keep entire groups of people, whether families, clubs, or coworkers all connected through their cell phones, computers, laptops, and tablets. The wifi technology has made the modern man and woman better able to maintain communication with friends, family, and the office while on the road.

None must forget the fact that most technological advancements come via war and conflict in the world. Necessity is always the mother of invention, and nothing creates necessity quite like the drama of armed conflict. This has been true from the WWII creation of our modern Interstate Highway system all the way back to the creation of the wall around the city of Troy.

Items which were used by the Army, Navy, or Marines can even be purchased from surplus stores all over the country. These can hail from the more recent activities in the Middle East, back to our conflict in Vietnam. Any returning Vet would appreciate a gift of equipment that they grew accustomed to using during their stay abroad, or perhaps even antennas which are basically museum pieces at our present level of technological advancement.

Much of the newer equipment is truly built to last, as it had to endure the harsh conditions of the Arabian desert. Many improvements were developed during the years before the first and second Gulf Wars. Anyone old enough to remember the first war, Desert Storm, knows how many problems arose due to the infiltration of fine particles of sand and dust getting into both mechanical and electronic tools.

When choosing gifts this Holiday season, whether for an old soldier or a newly returning Veteran, be sure and visit your local Army/Navy surplus stores. You just might be surprised at what Uncle Sam has lined up these days. It is not just a place to buy combat boots or a costume for the next Halloween party, but also a place to stay up-to-date on the latest technology.
