Outdoor LoRa antenna QOLTEC 12 dBi 868 MHz, 1.5 m cable

Outdoor LoRa antenna QOLTEC 12 dBi 868 MHz, 1.5 m cable is a directional outdoor antenna designed to extend the range and improve link reliability for LoRa/LPWAN networks operating in the 868 MHz band. The antenna's 12 dBi gain focuses radio energy to increase effective coverage for gateways, base stations and fixed IoT concentrators. The weather-resistant enclosure and integrated mounting options allow permanent outdoor deployment on masts, poles or walls while maintaining stable reception and transmission.

Advantages

The antenna provides high gain in the 868 MHz band to increase link budget and reduce packet loss over longer distances. Its rugged outdoor housing offers protection against rain and UV exposure, and the included 1.5 m coaxial cable simplifies placement and connection to network equipment. Directional characteristics help reduce interference from unwanted directions and concentrate signal toward target gateways or devices.

Подходит для

• Расширения зоны покрытия LoRa/LPWAN сетей
• Усиления сигнала для уличных шлюзов и базовых станций
• Стационарных IoT-шлюзов и концентраторов
• Сценариев, где требуется направленное покрытие и снижение внешних помех

Key specifications

• Operating frequency: 868 MHz band
• Peak gain: 12 dBi
• Cable length: 1.5 m coaxial cable
• Polarization: linear (typical for directional LoRa antennas)
• Radiation pattern: directional (enhanced forward gain)
• Housing: weather-resistant enclosure suitable for outdoor mounting
• Mounting: compatible with masts, poles and wall brackets

How to use

Mount the antenna outdoors at an elevated position with clear line of sight toward the target coverage area or remote gateway. Secure the housing to a mast, pole or wall bracket using appropriate mounting hardware. Connect the antenna cable to the LoRa gateway or radio using a matching connector or adapter; ensure the connector is tightened and protected from water ingress. Aim the antenna so the main lobe faces the direction of intended communication for optimal gain. After installation, verify link quality and adjust orientation if necessary.

Рекомендации по эксплуатации

Place the antenna as high as practical and avoid nearby large metallic objects to maximize effective range. Use weatherproofing measures at the connector and cable entry points to prevent moisture ingress. Periodically inspect mounting hardware and cable condition, especially after severe weather.
