Overview

The ANT-868-CW-HWR-SMA is a high-performance 1/2-wave dipole antenna designed for 868MHz frequency applications. It features a tilt and swivel base with an SMA connector, allowing for flexible orientation to maximize signal reception and transmission in European ISM and LoRaWAN bands.

Why Choose This Part

This antenna offers a 1/2-wave resonant design which does not require a ground plane for efficient operation, making it versatile for plastic enclosures. The integrated swivel joint allows for 90-degree positioning to optimize polarization and minimize physical interference.

Applications

LoRaWAN Gateways
Ideal for indoor gateways and base stations operating on the 868MHz European license-free band.
Industrial Telemetry
Used in remote monitoring systems where a robust, external whip antenna is required for reliable data transmission.
Smart Metering
Provides the necessary gain and radiation pattern for utility meters communicating over long distances.
Home Automation
Integrates into smart home hubs that utilize 868MHz protocols like Z-Wave or proprietary RF links.

Getting Started

Ensure the host device has a standard SMA female bulkhead connector. For best performance, orient the antenna vertically and away from large metal obstructions that could detune the 1/2-wave element.
