## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=WRL-25068:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/WRL-25068:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The 2J7426MPz by 2J Antennas is a high performance magnetic mount antenna which is designed specifically to communicate efficiently with the Iridium® Satellite Communication system. Manufactured with high quality polycarbonate (PC) and acrylic-styrene-acrylate terpolymer (ASA), a thermoplastic combination that offers strong resistance to UV, moisture, heat and enhances mechanical properties.

The antenna housing is waterproof to IP69 and designed to operate in extremely harsh environments, including those with frequent exposure to water, dust, and debris. This antenna has a recommended operational and storage temperature of between -40C to +85C. The magnetic mount allows for easy installation and removal between vehicles or assets, and it is easily converted to an adhesive type for greater flexibility.

Delivered with a standard SMA-Male Connector and standard 300cm long high quality coaxial LL100 cable.

Iridium® has certified the 2J7426MPz Antenna for commercial use in connection with the Iridium Communications System.
