The 860-930MHz 5dBi Outdoor Fiberglass Omni Antenna is engineered to be the robust backbone of your Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) or Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure. Perfectly tuned for the key global LoRaWAN frequencies, this antenna offers a substantial boost in signal performance and unmatched durability compared to standard indoor or low-profile antennas.
The 5dBi gain is carefully chosen to provide an optimal balance between horizontal range extension and maintaining a usable vertical beamwidth. This makes it an exceptionally versatile choice, providing excellent coverage in both flat, open spaces and moderately hilly or urban environments where nodes may be at varying elevations. Encased in a rugged fiberglass radome, it’s built to withstand years of harsh weather, ensuring your network remains online and stable 24/7.
Key Features and Superior Engineering
Our 5dBi Omni Antenna combines high-efficiency electrical design with industrial-grade physical construction.
Optimized RF Performance
Global Frequency Coverage: Precisely designed for the 860 MHz to 930 MHz band, ensuring direct compatibility with the dominant global LoRaWAN regional frequencies, including EU868 (Europe), US915 (North America), AU915 (Australia), and AS923 (Asia).
Ideal 5dBi Gain: This mid-level gain strikes the perfect balance for urban and suburban environments. It significantly extends horizontal reach without excessively compressing the signal beam, thus ensuring reliable links to nearby nodes as well as distant ones.
True Omni-Directional Pattern: Radiates and receives signals equally across a 360° horizontal plane. This is the most efficient pattern for central gateways or hotspots that need to connect to numerous scattered end-devices in all directions.
Low Signal Loss: Constructed with premium-grade coaxial components and featuring an excellent Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), which minimizes reflected power and ensures maximum energy is transmitted over the air.
Industrial-Grade Durability
Weatherproof Fiberglass Radome: The tough Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) casing is the hallmark of this antenna, providing exceptional protection against moisture, dust, snow, ice, and corrosive industrial atmospheres.
UV and Corrosion Resistance: Designed for permanent outdoor installation, the fiberglass shell offers superior resistance to UV degradation, ensuring the antenna's performance and appearance are maintained over its long service life.
Robust Mounting: Includes professional mounting hardware, typically U-bolts and brackets, engineered for secure, wind-resistant attachment to poles, masts, or building stand-offs.
Standard N-Type Connector: Equipped with a high-quality, weatherproof N-Type Female Connector (or specified connector), guaranteeing a durable and high-integrity connection with your low-loss feeder cable.
Versatile Application Scenarios
The balanced gain and rugged design of the 5dBi Omni Antenna make it the versatile choice for a wide array of mission-critical IoT deployments.
1. LoRaWAN Network & Hotspot Deployment
Suburban and Mid-Density Urban Areas: The 5dBi gain is often the optimal choice for areas with moderate building density. It provides excellent horizontal penetration without requiring excessive height, which can lead to signal "overshooting" nearby nodes with higher-gain (e.g., 8dBi) antennas.
Helium Network Hotspots: A popular and highly recommended gain option for Helium Hotspots seeking to maximize Proof-of-Coverage (PoC) rewards by reaching both close and mid-range witnesses efficiently.
Private Campus Networks: Establishing robust, central access points for private networks covering business parks, university campuses, or large resort complexes.
2. Smart Agriculture and Rural Monitoring
Farm and Field Coverage: Provides reliable connectivity across open fields and moderate terrain, linking soil moisture sensors, weather stations, and asset trackers back to a central farm gateway.
Environmental Sensing: Used in remote locations for real-time monitoring of air quality, noise levels, and weather data, where long-term exposure to the elements is expected.
3. Utility and Infrastructure Monitoring
Remote Asset Tracking: Ideal for tracking equipment or vehicle fleets within defined geographic boundaries, such as mining operations, construction sites, or large port facilities.
Smart Metering Backhaul: Serving as a reliable, high-integrity communication point for the aggregation of data from nearby utility meters (gas, water, electric).
By choosing the Omni Antenna 860-930MHz 5dBi Outdoor Fiberglass Antenna, you are selecting an affordable yet powerful piece of equipment designed for reliable, long-lasting, and wide-area wireless connectivity.
