Product Description
The 1.7GHz (1600-1800MHz) band is widely used for satellite communications, UAV telemetry, remote video, and aerospace telemetry—applications where link reliability is critical and interference is often a concern. This 10W signal booster amplifies both directions of the link, delivering 40dBm (10W) of output with 20dB TX gain and 18dB RX gain. It operates on a 12-24V DC supply, uses SMA female connectors, and comes in a compact 118 × 59 × 17 mm aluminum enclosure weighing just 0.2 kg. Whether you're extending a satellite uplink or strengthening a telemetry link across a remote site, this booster adds reliable margin without adding bulk.
Typical Applications
- Satellite Communications: Boost ground-to-satellite and satellite-to-ground signals in the 1.7GHz band
- UAV Telemetry & Command: Extend bidirectional data links for long-range drone operations
- Remote Video & Surveillance: Maintain stable video feeds over long distances
- Aerospace & Avionics Testing: Provide additional output for system validation and field trials
- Industrial & Utility Monitoring: Reliable two-way telemetry for SCADA and remote assets
- Public Safety & Emergency Comms: Strengthen critical links in challenging environments

Key Advantages
The 1.7GHz band sits in a relatively quiet part of the spectrum compared to the crowded ISM bands, which makes it attractive for satellite and aerospace links where interference can degrade performance. With 10W (40dBm) of output and 20dB TX gain, this booster significantly extends the reach of your transmitter, while the 18dB RX gain pulls in weak return signals cleanly. The result is a balanced two-way link that holds up even when conditions are less than ideal.
Power flexibility is a strong point: the 12-24V DC input accepts everything from 3S-6S LiPo packs to vehicle electrical systems and solar-charged battery banks. The 5.5 × 2.1 mm power jack is common in field equipment, and the SMA female ports mate directly with standard antennas and coax. The aluminum housing provides passive cooling and mechanical protection, and at 0.2 kg the unit is light enough for drone mounting or pole installation.
Tuned specifically for the 1.7GHz band, this booster covers the allocation used by satellite communications, UAV telemetry, and specialised video systems. If you're working with equipment in this band and need more link margin without redesigning your RF chain, this is a straightforward way to get it.
