Building on the impact of the 7m RAMM and 3.5m SQUAD systems, end user and OEM feedback indicated a desire for a “man portable” Integrated Antenna Mast system that could be used for civilian frequencies. The output from this requirement is the 3.5m TEAM IAM system. The mast weighs just 1.4kg and, having a packed size of 15cm x 15cm, it offers an immensely valuable range extension system for very little space compromise. The features of the system are ideal for first responders, federal and NGO type users, where portability and compactness are valued when operating in difficult RF terrain.

Working in the 136-470MHz range at 25 watts, the system delivers significant range extension capability for voice over radio communications. It comes with a flying lead for attachment to man portable radio sets and can either be hand held or independently guyed, depending on the operational situation. To further enhance the systems capability, ancillary kits are supplied to allow the mounting of a lightweight self-contained mesh radio on the top of the mast, thereby expanding the system to L-Band and data frequencies.
