Tallysman announced that Facebook has selected the Ottawa, Canada company’s TW2643POC GPS/Iridium antenna for the Facebook Open Cellular Platform.

The TW2643POC employs Tallysman’s unique Accutenna technology in a magnet mount, passive right hand circularly polarized antenna for the reception of all of the GNSS constellations (GPS L1/GLONASS G1/ Galileo E1/ BeiDou B1) plus Iridium: 1559 to 1626.5 MHz frequency band. It is certified and specially designed to maximize the performance of Iridium Voice and Data Modems plus the upper GNSS band (1559 – 1606MHz).
