Overview

The ANT-916-MHW-RPS-L is a center-fed dipole whip antenna designed for 916MHz ISM band applications. It features a high 5.4dBi gain and includes a 4.6-meter (180 inch) RG-174 coaxial cable terminated with a Reverse Polarity SMA (RP-SMA) connector. The antenna is housed in a rugged, weatherized plastic shell with an adhesive backing for easy mounting to non-conductive surfaces.

Why Choose This Part

The center-fed dipole design eliminates the need for a ground plane, ensuring consistent performance across various mounting locations. With 5.4dBi gain and a low 1.9 VSWR, it provides excellent range and signal integrity for low-power wide-area networks.

Applications

LoRa and Sigfox Gateways
Ideal for outdoor or indoor gateways requiring elevated antenna placement via the integrated 4.6m cable.
Remote Sensor Monitoring
Used in SCADA and industrial sensing environments to maintain reliable links in the 916MHz band.
Utility Metering
Suitable for AMR (Automated Meter Reading) systems where the antenna must be mounted externally to a plastic enclosure.
Smart Agriculture
Provides long-range connectivity for soil moisture sensors and irrigation controllers across large fields.
