Calian® Introduces a New Lightweight Triple-Band, Multi-Constellation Helical Antenna



Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, March 31, 2020 – Calian® Wireless Inc. is pleased to announce the addition of the HC977 triple-band Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) antenna to our industry-leading helical antenna family.  The HC977 includes all signals covered by the HC975: GPS/QZSS-L1/L2/L5, GLONASS-G1/G3, Galileo-E1/E5a/E5b, BeiDou-B1/B2/B2a, IRNSS-L5 and L-Band correction services, but it now also provides reception of GLONASS-G2.

Calian® helical antennas are designed for high-accuracy applications where precision and light weight matter, such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). These antennas are available in either a robust IP67 enclosure or an embedded format.

The table below shows Calian® housed and embedded helical antenna family.
