Wood Dale, IL -- Mil-Con, Inc. introduces a new series of Active and Passive GPS Antennas to its product line.

Mil-Con's rugged, sealed, field-replaceable, shock-mounted GPS Antennas use a commercial quadrifilar helix antenna element in spin-on SMA and TNC versions, as well as, slide-on SMB version. The antennas are designed using compliant RF connection that combines mechanically isolated ceramic antenna elements with integrated weather seals for use in hostile and military environments. Mil-Con offers design and manufacturing capabilities to provide unique solutions for integrating customer selected antenna elements into connector electrical and mechanical packages to meet demanding environmental and mechanical requirements.
