5150–5350 MHz 8 dBi IP67 Black Fiberglass Omni Antenna, N-Male, KSANT-11202-A

The 5.15–5.35 GHz band is the lower 5 GHz band for outdoor Wi-Fi, WISP and public Wi-Fi, and the demand for antennas that cover this band on a real outdoor mast has never been higher. Site planners are constantly challenged to cover users in every direction on a band where the radios move around the site, and there is nothing to aim at. The solution lies in a slim fiberglass omni that puts gain on the horizon and is sealed for outdoor weather. We are proud to introduce the 5150–5350 MHz 8 dBi Black Fiberglass Omni Antenna, model KSANT-11202-A, a 600 mm linear-polarized radiator engineered for outdoor 5 GHz Wi-Fi, WISP and video downlinks.

This antenna represents a practical balance between gain, sealing and physical size. Its core advantage is the format: a single 600 mm radome of 20 mm diameter, weighing 0.181 kg, finished in glossy black and terminated in an integrated N-male connector. The band is covered from 5150 to 5350 MHz at 50 Ohm with VSWR <2.0, peak gain runs 7.5–8.5 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, an IP67 seal, and an ultra-light build for real installations.

7.5–8.5 dBi with a 9–11° Vertical Beam

Peak gain is specified at 7.5–8.5 dBi, and the chamber measurements track it closely: 8.5 dBi at 5150 MHz down to 7.6 dBi at 5350 MHz, with efficiency between 67.0% and 73.9%. The vertical beamwidth is 9–11°, 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.

IP67 Sealed for Outdoor Weather

The datasheet carries a dedicated IP67 test report, so the seal is a tested claim rather than "weather-resistant" marketing language. That matters on a rooftop, where rain, dust and salt spray are the normal operating environment. The specified match is VSWR <2.0 across the band, and the stored trace marks 1.32 at 5150 MHz and 1.29 at 5350 MHz, with return loss of 17.1 dB and 18.0 dB at those two points. That margin keeps a 5 GHz radio at its top modulation step even at the band edges. Impedance is 50 Ohm nominal throughout, so no matching section is needed between the antenna and the feeder.

An Ultra-Light 0.181 kg Radome with an N-Male Feed

The radome is 20 mm in diameter and just 0.181 kg, so it can be carried up a ladder by one hand and mounted on a wall bracket or a light pole without extra support. The finish is glossy black, which reads as infrastructure rather than as a product on a pole. Maximum power is 100 W, which covers 5 GHz access points, WISP nodes and video downlinks. 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 tensile 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 7.5–8.5 dBi, an IP67 seal and a slim 600 mm radome makes this antenna useful wherever one pole has to serve 5 GHz users in every direction.

Outdoor 5 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 5 GHz deployment actually needs.

WISP subscriber nodes: the 7.5–8.5 dBi on the horizon gives usable margin at the edge of a 5 GHz cell, on a radome that mounts to an existing pole.

IP67 Outdoor and Roof Installations

Rooftop and building-edge installs: the IP67 seal and 0.181 kg weight suit wall brackets, parapets and light poles where a panel would look intrusive.

Remote and unattended sites: the −45 °C to +85 °C range and 36.9 m/s wind rating cover outdoor cabinets that have to survive weather without maintenance.

5 GHz Video and Data Links

Video and data downlinks: field broadcast support and temporary event sites benefit from the round pattern, because the transmitter can be anywhere around the mast.

Point-to-multipoint links: a hub with a round omni serves multiple directional subscribers without sector planning at the hub.

Conclusion: The Future of Slim 5 GHz Omnis

The 5150–5350 MHz 8 dBi IP67 Black Fiberglass Omni Antenna, KSANT-11202-A, is more than a passive component. It is the part that decides whether a 5 GHz site covers a campus or one corner of it. By covering 5150–5350 MHz at 50 Ohm with VSWR <2.0, concentrating 7.5–8.5 dBi into a 9–11° vertical beam, sealing to IP67, 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 0.181 kg weight, 36.9 m/s wind rating and −45 °C to +85 °C operating range state its limits up front. For any 5 GHz deployment that needs one slim antenna to serve everything in sight, this antenna is the practical choice.
