End of Life for Various ANT-series Antennas

12 December 2013

NovAtel has been informed by the FAA that only a FAA TSO-C144 certification part number shall appear on FAA certified antennas. As a result, NovAtel must EOL all FAA certified antennas that have an Antcom and NovAtel part number appearing, and replace them with antennas that display only the FAA TSO-C144 part number. The replacement antennas will be identical to the original antenna product.

This EOL announcement, effective immediately, applies to the following antennas:

ANT-35C2GA-TW
ANT-35C1GA-TW-N
ANT-3GNSSA-TW
ANT-35C1GLA-TRW
ANT-A72GA-TW-N
ANT-42GNSSA-TW
ANT-A72GLA4-TW-N
ANT-A72GLA-TW-N
ANT-A71GLA4-TW
ANT-A72GOLA-TW

Orders for these antennas will be automatically transitioned to the new part number. For special cases where this automatic transition may cause concern, please contact your NovAtel Sales Manager in your region. A complete list of NovAtel representatives can be found on our website at:

NovAtel will continue to support and repair the affected products until:

December 12, 2016
