2400–2500 MHz 8 dBi Glossy Black Fiberglass Omni Antenna, N-Male, KSANT-11330-A

The 2.4 GHz band is still the workhorse band for Wi-Fi, IoT and long-range wireless, and the demand for antennas that cover a campus or a yard from one pole has never been higher. Site planners are constantly challenged to cover users in every direction on a band where the radios are all around the mast, and there is nothing to aim at. The solution lies in a slim fiberglass omni that puts gain on the horizon instead of spreading it up into the sky. We are proud to introduce the 2400–2500 MHz 8 dBi Glossy Black Fiberglass Omni Antenna, model KSANT-11330-A, a 600 mm linear-polarized radiator engineered for outdoor 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, IoT and WISP deployments.

This antenna represents a practical balance between gain, physical size and finish. Its core advantage is the format: a single 600 mm radome of 20 mm diameter, weighing 0.24 kg, finished in glossy black and terminated in an integrated N-male connector. The band is covered from 2400 to 2500 MHz at 50 Ohm with VSWR <2.0, peak gain runs 7–8.3 dBi, and the horizontal pattern is a full 360°. Power handling is 100 W, the element is DC grounded, and the build is rated for wind of 36.9 m/s across an operating range of −45 °C to +85 °C. It is the practical choice where one slim antenna has to cover everything that can see the pole.

Technical Excellence: The Core Advantage

The antenna's performance rests on three pillars: high gain concentrated on the horizon, a clean match across the band, and a slim build for real installations.

7–8.3 dBi with an 11–13° Vertical Beam

Peak gain is specified at 7–8.3 dBi, and the chamber measurements track it closely: 7.5 dBi at 2400 MHz rising to 8.3 dBi at 2480 MHz, with efficiency between 64.5% and 77.5%. The vertical beamwidth is 11–13°, deliberately narrow: the energy is concentrated into a flat disc on the horizon instead of spreading up into the sky and down into the ground. That is what turns a 600 mm radome into real horizontal reach, and it is the right pattern for sites where the users are on rooftops, yards and streets at roughly the same height as the mast.

A Clean Match from 2400 to 2500 MHz

The specified match is VSWR <2.0 across the band, and the stored trace marks 1.11 at 2400 MHz, 1.29 at 2450 MHz and 1.43 at 2500 MHz, with return loss of 25.7 dB, 17.8 dB and 15.1 dB at those three points. That margin keeps a 2.4 GHz radio at its top modulation step even at the band edges, and it is what a mesh router, an access point or a WISP node actually sweeps against. Impedance is 50 Ohm nominal throughout, so no matching section is needed between the antenna and the feeder.

A Slim 0.24 kg Radome with an N-Male Feed

The radome is 20 mm in diameter and 0.24 kg, so it can be carried up a ladder by one person and mounted on a wall bracket or a light pole. The finish is glossy black, which reads as infrastructure rather than as a product on a pole. Maximum power is 100 W, which covers 2.4 GHz access points, IoT gateways and multi-carrier radios. The connector is an integrated N-male, the standard threaded interface on a mast, and the element is DC grounded so static charge drains to the mast rather than down the coax. Mechanical qualification is stated rather than assumed: a ≥20 N pull force test, a 1 m drop test, vibration from 10–55 Hz at 0.35 mm displacement and 50.0 m/s² over 30 sweep cycles, and voltage resistance of 1.5 kV insulation, 1.5 kV sheath and 0.5 kV insulation-to-sheath. The product is RoHS compliant.

Versatile Application Scenarios

The combination of 7–8.3 dBi, a slim 600 mm radome and a full 360° pattern makes this antenna useful wherever one pole has to serve users in every direction.

Outdoor 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and WISP

Outdoor access points and hotspots: one omni covers a courtyard, a parking lot or a yard without sector overlap, which is what a 2.4 GHz deployment actually needs.

WISP subscriber nodes: the 7–8.3 dBi on the horizon gives usable margin at the edge of a 2.4 GHz cell, on a radome that mounts to an existing pole.

IoT, Zigbee and 2.4 GHz Mesh

IoT gateways and mesh networks: smart-home, industrial and agricultural IoT networks run on 2.4 GHz, and a single omni on a pole covers a whole site instead of several small antennas.

Sensor and camera networks: outdoor cameras and sensors benefit from the round pattern, because they can be placed anywhere around the mast without a sector planning step.

Roof and Pole Installations

Street poles and light masts: the 0.24 kg weight and glossy black finish suit wall brackets, parapets and light poles where a panel would look intrusive.

Temporary and event sites: the integrated N-male connector and light weight make the antenna quick to deploy and recover, which suits pop-up networks, construction sites and broadcast support.

Conclusion: The Future of Slim 2.4 GHz Omnis

The 2400–2500 MHz 8 dBi Glossy Black Fiberglass Omni Antenna, KSANT-11330-A, is more than a passive component. It is the part that decides whether a 2.4 GHz site covers a campus or one corner of it. By covering 2400–2500 MHz at 50 Ohm with VSWR <2.0, concentrating 7–8.3 dBi into an 11–13° vertical beam, and carrying 100 W behind an integrated N-male connector on a 600 mm black radome, it gives planners a footprint they can predict before the site survey. The 0.24 kg weight, 36.9 m/s wind rating and −45 °C to +85 °C operating range state its limits up front. For any 2.4 GHz deployment that needs one slim antenna to serve everything in sight, this antenna is the practical choice.
