Seaworthy RF
From Vessel to Offshore

D&G Antennas — trading as Xtend Communications — manufactures and distributes IP67/IP68 marine-grade RF antennas for vessel telemetry, offshore platform monitoring, and coastal IoT infrastructure in Australia. We are a manufacturer and distributor — we do not perform vessel installations. Our antennas feature UV-stable FRP radomes, salt-spray tested construction, and 50Ω precision impedance. Primary product: DG850MB-CT (IP67/68, 800–900 MHz, 3 dBi, 5m RG58 pre-terminated). High-gain option: DG900MB-HG (+6 dBi, 700–2700 MHz, IP65) for shore-link uplinks. Custom cable assemblies to any length and connector type. B2B supply from 50 units.

— Applications

Built for Water
Any Environment

Vessel Telemetry

AIS gateway uplinks, engine monitoring, and hull sensor telemetry require antennas that maintain pattern stability across the horizon regardless of vessel motion or heel angle.

Offshore Platform Monitoring

Spray zones and tidal environments demand IP68-rated components. UV-stable FRP radomes prevent the cracking and signal absorption that degrade standard fiberglass in offshore conditions.

Coastal IoT Infrastructure

LoRa and 4G gateway antennas deployed in coastal environments face continuous salt air, UV exposure, and high-humidity conditions. Only marine-grade construction survives long-term.

— Aqua Series

Marine-Grade Construction.
No Compromise.

The Aqua Series is engineered specifically for salt-air and submersion environments where standard IP ratings fail. UV-stable FRP radomes eliminate the yellowing and micro-cracking that degrades fiberglass signal absorption over time in coastal and offshore deployments.
