The FieldGuard 8 dBi outdoor Antenna is a fiberglass omnidirectional antenna, operating in the 868 MHz ISM band. This antenna is an ideal outdoor antenna for LoRa Gateways. The antenna has an 8dBi high peak gain, providing the largest area for Low Power Radio (UNB Sigfox, LPRN, LoRA) and mesh networks. applications are in IoT, metering, industrial/environmental monitoring, and asset monitoring. The FieldGuard 8 dBi antenna operates at 868MHz, one of the most widely used license-free ISM bands, with an 8dBi peak gain. The omnidirectional antenna collinear dipole design means its uniformly in the azimuth with a high gain, providing coverage over long distances, thus minimizing the number of Gateways needed in a LoRaWAN network.
The UV resistant fiberglass housing enables the FieldGuard 8 dBi antenna to be weathered in all harsh environments, making it more robust and safer than the traditional whip antenna. It has been designed to withstand high wind load. The integrated aluminum bracket is perfect for directly mounting the antenna onto a pole or a wall. The connector is the industry standard N-type female connector.
