Southwest Antennas

At Southwest Antennas, we pride ourselves on designing and manufacturing high-performance broadband RF and microwave antennas. With over 2,000 products in our lineup, we offer solutions that are built to perform in the toughest environments, serving military, government, law enforcement, and commercial sectors worldwide. Our antennas, including omni-directional and sector models, cover a wide frequency range from 0.35 GHz to 8.5 GHz, ensuring reliable data, video, and voice communications for critical applications.   In addition to our standard products, we work closely with our customers to create custom antenna designs that meet their unique needs, ensuring seamless integration with their communication systems.   By combining our advanced RF antenna systems with cutting-edge MIMO-based wireless technology, we offer a highly reliable solution for demanding applications such as airborne video streaming and tactical operations. Our antennas seamlessly enhance air-to-ground and air-to-air video transmission, supporting 4K UHD video feeds with minimal latency and exceptional range. The wireless communication system forms self-healing, self-forming mesh networks, maintaining robust connections even in complex or non-line-of-sight environments. This ensures high-quality, real-time video and data transfer over extended distances, with flexibility to adapt on the fly, offering resistance to interference and ensuring mission-critical operations run smoothly. Reach out to sales@southwestantennas.com for a consultation if you're trying to get an important project finished that has some complex RF Antenna integration issues. We don't charge NRE and we ask you the hard RF questions before you design so you don't have to redesign later. A big thank you goes out to our veteran skydiving team and also to Octavio Navarro and AggreGateway for working with us on this.

Have you seen the new Ghost-X?

We ask you the hard RF antenna questions before you design, so you don’t have to redesign. Many engineers don’t understand the relationship between antenna performance and the weight and size of the antenna. They think they can get any RF performance they want in any form factor, but that’s not the case. This misconception is at the root of 90% of the problems engineers reach out to us about. They’ve designed and built their machine and the antenna is ordered last second as an afterthought and now there are issues. It doesn’t have to be this way. There are only 100 days left in 2024 and we know you have engineering projects with antenna problems that you’d like to get solved before the end of the year. Why not save time and hop on a call with us and let us help you think through your antenna integration issues in less than an hour. This isn’t a sales call and we have no desire to sell you something you don’t need. We value our reputation in the industry too much to do that. And yes, we understand that you’re probably not going to be able to buy for another year or so. There’s no pressure. We value your time and ours. We want to be a resource for you. The call is free and we can almost guarantee we’ll ask you something you haven’t thought about.

Wishing the United States Air Force and the Air National Guard Happy 77th Birthday!

Gone but never forgotten.

Happy Labor Day from our team to yours.

We’re pretty excited to get our 3rd soldier photo printed up for our Southwest Antennas warrior gallery. Thanks so much Randall Hedrick for sharing this awesome shot with us and allowing us to get it printed up for our walls.

Our President and Co-Owner, Benjamin Culver recently wrote this Glossary of Antenna RF & Microwave Terminology. We were releasing these terms one at a time on social media, but many of our engineering customers requested that we release the entire glossary as a single downloadable white paper. This glossary is great for all engineers who work with and integrate antennas into their projects and any employees who work with engineers who need a basic translator to understand the terms they're using. We find it has been very useful for our team and think that you will also find it helpful if you work in manufacturing in any of these job positions: Engineering Sales Customer Service Marketing Purchasing & Quality

Today is the 10th anniversary of Purple Heart Day and we honor the close to 2 million members of the military who have been killed or wounded in action while proudly defending our country. This medal was first awarded in 1932 and it was presented to soldiers who were injured in the line of duty or those who made the ultimate sacrifice, choosing to face that moment with great courage. We are dedicated to remembering the bravery of our wounded and fallen heroes and the sacrifices of their families. #military #purplehearts #honor
