Product Description
The 1.7GHz (1600-1800MHz) band sits in a relatively quiet part of the spectrum, which makes it a preferred choice for satellite communications, UAV telemetry, aerospace testing, and remote video links where interference-free operation is essential. This 30W signal booster amplifies both directions of the link, delivering 45dBm (30W) of output with 20dB TX gain and 18dB RX gain. Running on a 12-24V DC supply, it uses SMA female connectors and a standard 5.5 × 2.1 mm power jack, all housed in a compact 118 × 59 × 17 mm aluminum enclosure weighing just 0.2 kg. When 10W and 20W boosters no longer provide enough margin, this unit adds the extra headroom needed to close links in the most challenging conditions.
Typical Applications
- Beyond-Line-of-Sight UAV Missions: Hold telemetry and command links at extreme distances
- Satellite Ground Stations: Higher uplink power for reliable L-band SATCOM in marginal conditions
- Remote Industrial Telemetry: Two-way data links for pipelines, utilities, and mining sites in remote terrain
- Maritime & Coastal Communications: Strengthen vessel-to-shore links over water and along coastlines
- Aerospace & Avionics Testing: High-output amplification for system validation and field trials
- Public Safety & Border Security: Critical coverage in sparsely populated or obstructed areas

Key Advantages
The step up to 30W adds roughly 2dB of link margin over a 20W booster, which can be the deciding factor when operating at the far edge of range or in environments where foliage, terrain, or atmospheric attenuation steadily erode signal strength. The 45dBm transmit output pushes your signal farther, while the 18dB receive gain ensures the return path stays solid—critical for telemetry and command links where a strong outbound signal is useless if the inbound side drops.
Power flexibility remains a core strength: the 12-24V DC input accepts 3S-6S LiPo packs, 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 connect directly to standard antennas and coax. The aluminum housing provides passive cooling and mechanical protection, and at 0.2 kg the unit remains light enough for drone mounting or portable ground stations.
Tuned specifically for the 1.7GHz band, this booster covers the narrow allocation used by satellite communications, UAV telemetry, and specialised video systems. If you've maxed out lower-power boosters and still need more margin, 30W offers a practical next step without the cost and power draw of higher tiers.
