Overview

The ANT-2.4-WRT-MON-SMA is a low-profile, panel-mount monopole antenna designed for 2.4 GHz ISM band applications including WiFi, Bluetooth, and ZigBee. It features a compact dome design that provides a permanent, tamper-resistant external antenna solution for wireless devices. The unit comes equipped with 216mm of RG-174 coaxial cable terminated with a standard SMA male plug.

Why Choose This Part

The monopole design offers a very low profile at just 27mm height, making it less prone to impact or vandalism than traditional whip antennas. It provides a consistent 1.9 VSWR across the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz range and includes an integrated 216mm cable, simplifying mechanical integration into enclosure panels.

Applications

IoT Gateways
Provides a robust external connection for industrial and home automation hubs requiring reliable 2.4 GHz connectivity.
WLAN Access Points
Low-profile mounting is ideal for space-constrained ceiling or wall-mounted wireless networking equipment.
Wireless Vending Machines
The panel-mount dome design offers durability and tamper resistance for outdoor or public-facing cellular and WiFi devices.
Smart Lighting Controllers
Integrates into metal enclosures for street lighting or industrial controls to facilitate ZigBee or Thread mesh networking.

Getting Started

Installation requires a single hole in a metal or non-metal enclosure panel for the threaded nut assembly. For optimal performance, ensure the antenna is mounted on a ground plane as specified in the datasheet to maintain the 0.8dBi gain profile. Connect the SMA male plug directly to the radio module's female SMA bulkhead or pigtail adapter.
