868MHz Fiberglass Antenna 5.8dBi Outdoor Omnidirectional Antenna
For outdoor wireless systems that need dependable 868MHz coverage, this 868MHz Fiberglass Antenna combines a 860–930MHz frequency range, 5.8dBi gain, 50Ω impedance, vertical polarization, and a completely omnidirectional radiation pattern in a 500mm glass-fibre radome. The 70MHz working range gives system designers useful coverage around the 868MHz segment, while the N-Type male connector provides a solid RF interface for outdoor gateways and industrial communication equipment. It suits buyers looking for an 868 MHz Fiberglass antenna, outdoor LoRaWAN gateway antenna, or high gain omnidirectional antenna for fixed coverage. The design uses U-bracket pole mounting, DC grounding for lightning protection, and a compact Φ23 x 500mm body weighing 320g. For other installation formats, Yetnorson also offers the 868MHZ Rubber Antenna and 868MHZ Antenna with magnetic base.
Stable 860–930MHz RF Performance
The antenna is specified for 860–930MHz operation, with 50Ω input impedance and VSWR of ≤1.5. Its rated gain is 5.8 ±0.2dBi, with vertical polarization and completely omnidirectional radiation. This combination is well suited to wireless systems where devices may be spread around a central gateway rather than positioned along one fixed path. Buyers searching for 868MHz outdoor antenna solutions often look for phrases including 868 MHz LoRa antenna, LoRaWAN antenna, outdoor fiberglass antenna, LoRa gateway antenna, IoT antenna, and high-gain omnidirectional antenna. These product terms are commonly connected with remote monitoring systems, smart meter networks, industrial IoT projects, telemetry equipment, and M2M communication applications.
Fiberglass Construction for Fixed Outdoor Use
The antenna is enclosed in a glass-fibre radome with dimensions of Φ23 x 500mm and can be secured to Φ25–Φ50mm poles using a U-bracket. It operates reliably between -20°C and +85°C, while storage is supported from -40°C to +85°C. With a rated wind resistance of 60m/s and DC grounding for lightning protection, the antenna is suitable for demanding outdoor installations. Its fiberglass housing and pole-mount structure make it a practical choice for permanent installation on rooftops, communication masts, equipment yards, and industrial sites.
Mechanical and Environmental Testing
The product specification records bending, static-load, pulling-force, and vibration tests for mechanical durability. In the bending test, a 120g load was applied 30cm from the connector and the antenna was swung about 60 degrees for 1,000 cycles, with no reported electrical or mechanical damage. A 15-pound static load and a 7kg pulling-force test were also completed without reported electrical damage. The specification also includes vibration testing and durability testing covering salt spray, heat, humidity, and low temperature. The salt spray test lasted 96 hours; heat exposure was 96 hours at 85°C ±2°C, humidity exposure was 96 hours at 40°C ±2°C with 90–95% RH, and low-temperature exposure was 96 hours at -40°C ±2°C.
Applications for IoT and LoRaWAN Networks
This 868MHz outdoor antenna can be used in various wireless communication systems, such as LoRa gateways, LPWAN networks, IoT sensor installations, smart metering projects, remote monitoring devices, industrial automation, and M2M applications. With omnidirectional horizontal coverage, it helps distribute the signal more evenly when connected devices are located around the gateway or positioned across the intended service area. Actual communication distance depends on several site conditions, including mounting height, terrain, nearby structures, cable attenuation, transmitter output, receiver sensitivity, and surrounding RF interference. These elements should be reviewed together with the antenna specifications before the system is installed.
N-Type Male Connector and Pole Mounting
An N-Type male connector is fitted to this antenna, providing a standard 50Ω connection. Before placing an order, please verify that it matches the gateway, radio unit, feeder cable, and surge protection equipment in your system. The supplied U-bracket is suitable for installation on poles measuring 25–50mm in diameter. Installation style often decides which 868MHz antenna is appropriate. A pole-mounted fiberglass antenna suits permanent outdoor deployment, while a magnetic-base antenna fits metal surfaces or temporary setups, and a rubber antenna fits compact equipment. Yetnorson provides the 868MHZ Antenna with magnetic base and 868MHZ Rubber Antenna as alternative formats.
Yetnorson OEM/ODM and Antenna Customization
Antenna projects often require a different length, frequency band, gain target, connector, bracket, cable assembly, or housing size. Yetnorson provides antenna manufacturing and OEM/ODM services for standard and customized configurations, including fiberglass antenna dimensions matched to customer equipment and installation requirements. Beyond 868MHz products, we can also develop commonly requested formats such as 4G fiberglass antennas and WiFi fiberglass antennas, together with other antennas for IoT, M2M, routers, gateways, and outdoor communication equipment. Buyers can work with Yetnorson on specification review, sample development, and production customization to match the antenna to the actual device.
FAQ
Q1: Is this 868MHz fiberglass antenna suitable for an outdoor LoRaWAN gateway?
