10dBi 868MHz LoRa Antenna N Male Outdoor Fiberglass Omnidirectional for Meshtastic Solar Node/Repeater, Helium Hotspot LoRaWAN Gateway, IoT Devices, Waterproof with IPEX/U.FL to Female Pigtail Cable

🔹10dBi HIGH GAIN FOR EXTENDED LORA RANGE – Designed specifically for the European 868MHz ISM band, this antenna delivers 10dBi high gain performance, providing superior signal strength for Meshtastic nodes, LoRaWAN gateways, and Helium hotspots. The omnidirectional collinear dipole design radiates uniformly in the azimuth, ensuring long-distance coverage across rural farmland, valleys, and suburban fringe areas while minimizing the number of nodes required in your mesh network. 🔹IP67 WATERPROOF FIBERGLASS CONSTRUCTION – BUILT FOR EUROPEAN WEATHER – Crafted from premium UV-resistant fiberglass, this antenna withstands harsh weather conditions including rain, snow, and intense sunlight. Rated IP67 waterproof, it operates reliably in temperatures from -40°C to +85°C with up to 95% humidity. The UV‑resistant radome prevents cracking or fading from sun exposure, making it ideal for permanent outdoor installations on solar-powered Meshtastic nodes, rooftop base stations, or remote agricultural monitoring sites across the UK and Europe. 🔹N MALE CONNECTOR + IPEX/U.FL PIGTAIL – UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY – Features an industry-standard N-type male connector on the antenna base for direct, low-loss connections. Includes a free IPEX/U.FL to N female pigtail cable, allowing easy connection to Meshtastic devices (Heltec, LILYGO, RAK Wireless, Pycom) and LoRa modules equipped with U.FL/IPEX antenna ports. Also compatible with gateways from RAK, Kerlink, Multitech, and Dragino. 🔹PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE – LOW VSWR FOR RELIABLE TRANSMISSION – Features a low standing wave ratio (VSWR ≤ 1.5) to minimize signal reflection and maximize power transfer. With 50‑ohm impedance and up to 50W input power capability, this antenna ensures clean, interference-free signal propagation for your critical IoT data transmission. 🔹OMNIDIRECTIONAL 360° COVERAGE – SIMPLE INSTALLATION – The 360° omnidirectional pattern provides consistent coverage in all directions, eliminating the need for precise aiming. Includes a heavy-duty U-bolt mounting bracket for secure attachment to poles or walls. Perfect for solar-powered nodes where low power consumption combined with high antenna gain is essential. For external installations, we recommend sealing the N connector with self‑amalgamating tape to protect against moisture ingress. 🔹KIT INCLUDES – 1x 10dBi 868MHz Outdoor Fiberglass Antenna (Black, N Male) – 1x IPEX/U.FL to N Female Pigtail Cable (15cm) – 1x Mounting Bracket (U-Bolts + Hardware) 💡 Pro Tip from the LoRa Community: The antennas that come with many LoRa development boards (like Heltec V3) are often poorly tuned. Upgrading to this 10dBi outdoor fiberglass antenna is the single most effective improvement for range and reliability, with users reporting distances of 6‑8km through forest when properly mounted at elevation and using high‑quality low‑loss cable.
