NEXT G and GSM Mobile Phone Marine Antennas for Boats

CM1600AM and CMG1600AM Mast Mount and Side Mount Antennas, 8.1 dBi gain

These ground independent omnidirectional cellular mobile phone antennas may be mounted to the mast of a vessel. Otherwise, they can be side mounted from a wheelhouse or any other flat vertical surface.

With 8.1 dBi gain, they offer the maximum gain and reception range practical in a broadband mobile phone antenna.

• CM1600AM is factory tuned to cover the NEXT G mobile phone network.
• CMG1600AM is for the GSM network.

The white fibreglass radome and stainless steel mount tube stands 2.4 metres tall. The antenna is matched internally by a unique transforming printed circuit board. VSWR is optimised in the factory to less than 1.5:1.

The N-Female connector located at the base of the mount tube is rated for up to 20 watts input power. All components used are of the highest quality to ensure long term survival in the harsh marine environment. These antennas will deliver reliable performance for many years.

For mounting to a mast, 2 x EB1SS stainless steel parallel clamps are recommended for a round mast between 20 mm and 50 mm in diameter.

Side mounts are nylon and include ½"–BSW stainless steel fasteners. These allow easy mounting to the side of a wheelhouse or any other vertical flat surface. 2 x NSM-B20M nylon side mounts will be suitable for these antennas. Drill a 12.7 mm (½") diameter hole through the wall for the stainless steel bolt and then firmly secure each side mount in position.

Low loss feeder cable, connectors, cable ties and tape are available separately to complete the installation.

AN1600 and DG1600 MAX-GAIN Deck Mount Cellular Mobile Phone Antennas, 8.1 dBi

These 8.1 dBi MAX-GAIN marine deck mount models stand 2.2 metres tall and are an identical match to other antennas in the ZCG Scalar marine range.

• AN1600 is factory tuned to cover the NEXT G network.
• DG1600 is for the GSM network.

Tuning is optimised in the factory to less than 1.5:1 VSWR. The antennas are matched internally by a unique transforming printed circuit board. 5 metres of RG58 low loss cable side exits from the chromed brass ferrule. An FME Female crimp connector is fitted to the cable.

All components used are of the highest quality to ensure long term survival in the harsh marine environment. These antennas will deliver reliable performance for many years.

The MM1 folding deck mount supplied as standard is constructed from toughened plastic. This base folds down in two directions and also swivels in the opposite plane by loosening the stainless steel pivot bolt. This versatility allows the antenna to be mounted in a variety of positions on any flat surface and at any angle using four screws or bolts.

For those who prefer the ultimate in quality, durability and strength, the MM2 folding deck mount is constructed entirely from stainless steel. To order either antenna with the stainless steel MM2 deck mount, simply add the letters ‘SS’ to the Order Code.

MADB Deck Mount Multiband NEXT G and GSM Mobile Phone Antenna, 6.2 dBi

The MADB marine deck mount cellular mobile phone antenna provides multiband coverage of both NEXT G and GSM networks combined with an effective 6.2 dBi gain. No metal ground plane is necessary. Standing 90 cm tall, the fibreglass radome is available in 3 colours; White, Black or Brown.

The MM1 folding deck mount supplied as standard is constructed from toughened plastic. This base folds down in two directions and also swivels in the opposite plane by loosening the stainless steel pivot bolt.

The MADB antenna is a perfect choice for mounting to both recreational and commercial vessels alike on any flat surface and at any angle desired using four screws or bolts. The antenna can be folded down flat while not in use.

5 metres of RG58 low loss stranded cable side exits from the mount ferrule. The FME female connector fitted to the cable is rated for up to 30 watts input power.

This MADB model is identical in appearance to the MA1100 antenna for AM/FM radio receive.

For those who prefer the ultimate in quality, durability and strength, the antenna is also available with the MM2 folding deck mount which is constructed entirely from stainless steel. The order code is MADBSS.

BM6-DB and BM8-DB Base Model Deck Mount Multiband NEXT G and GSM Antennas, 6.2 dBi

Ground independent and factory tuned to provide multiband coverage of both the NEXT G and GSM cellular mobile phone networks combined with 6.2 dBi gain, these Base Model deck mount antennas are a perfect match in both height and appearance to other ZCG Scalar “BM” series marine antennas.

• BM6-DB stands 1.8 metres tall.
• BM8-DB is 2.45 metres tall.

Construction consists of brass radiators fully sealed inside a single piece white fibreglass radome ensuring long term survival in the harsh marine environment.

4.5 metres of RG58 low loss cable side exits from the folding base. An FME Female connector is fitted to the cable.

The MM1 folding deck mount supplied is constructed from toughened plastic. Mount these antennas on any flat surface and at any angle using four screws or bolts.

The antenna must be in a vertical position for optimum performance and can be folded down flat when not required.
