Product Description
When communication failures are not an option—whether you're managing public safety networks, coordinating military field operations, or maintaining critical utility infrastructure—you need more than just standard amplification. You need 20 watts of brute-force RF power that cuts through interference, penetrates urban canyons, and reaches deep into rural coverage gaps. This 20W RF Power Amplifier delivers a commanding 43dBm (20W) of clean, linear output with 40dB gain across the full 700-830MHz spectrum, covering mission-critical bands including 700MHz public safety (Band 13/14/28), 800MHz trunked radio, and private LTE systems. Operating on a 24V DC supply (customizable to 28V) with 2.5A current draw at full output, it features a rugged aluminum housing and SMA female connectors—engineered for the relentless demands of 24/7 field deployments where reliability is measured in lives and mission success.
Typical Applications
- Public Safety & First Responder Networks: Amplify police, fire, and EMS communications for city-wide coverage and in-building penetration
- Military Tactical Field Communications: Deploy reliable high-power links for forward operating bases and mobile command posts
- Utility SCADA & Smart Grid Infrastructure: Extend telemetry range across vast transmission corridors and remote substations
- Private LTE & Trunked Radio Systems: Boost base station and repeater links for enterprise and government networks
- Land Mobile Radio (LMR) Systems: Enhance two-way radio coverage for commercial fleets and public works departments
- Disaster Recovery & Emergency Response: Rapidly deploy high-power comms in areas with damaged or overloaded infrastructure

Key Advantages
When 10W isn't enough, 20W gives you the decisive edge. In the 700-830MHz band—where signals must penetrate concrete, steel, and dense foliage while traveling miles across varied terrain—the difference between 10W and 20W is more than just a number. It's the difference between a command center that can hear every transmission clearly and one straining to decipher static. It's the difference between a drone that stays connected at the edge of its operational radius and one that loses link at the critical moment. With 43dBm (20W) of clean power, you get a communication system that doesn't just reach farther—it reaches reliably.
The 40dB gain transforms low-power exciters (portable radios, base station drivers, or telemetry modems) into full 20W transmitters with consistent, linear performance. And despite doubling the power output, current draw is just 2.5A—maintaining efficient operation that won't tax your vehicle electrical system, battery bank, or solar-powered installation.
Thermal design sets this amplifier apart from lesser units. The rugged aluminum housing is optimized for passive heat dissipation, capable of handling the extra thermal load from 20W operation without forced air cooling in most deployment scenarios. The compact 96×53×17mm footprint and 150g weight make it easy to integrate into base station cabinets, vehicle racks, repeater shelters, or field-deployable cases.
Wide voltage tolerance (24V standard, customizable to 28V) ensures compatibility with virtually any power source—from vehicle electrical systems and backup batteries to solar-charged banks and regulated AC/DC supplies. With SMA female connectors on both input and output, integration with existing RF chains is completely straightforward.
Purpose-tuned for the 700-830MHz band, this amplifier delivers optimal performance across the entire range—covering 700MHz public safety allocations, 800MHz commercial trunking, and everything in between. When your mission demands uncompromising communications, 20W delivers the confidence that your signal will get through.
