Overview

The TLS.90.205111 is a robust, permanent-mount dome antenna designed for 868MHz and 915MHz ISM band applications. Part of the Shockwave series, it features a low-profile vandal-resistant housing with an IP69K rating for extreme environmental protection. It comes equipped with a 2-meter TGC-200 cable and an SMA Male connector for flexible installation in outdoor or industrial environments.

Why Choose This Part

The antenna provides a high-efficiency solution with a return loss of -20dB and an IP69K waterproof rating that withstands high-pressure water jets. Its mechanical design is specifically engineered to be vandal-resistant and durable for public or exposed deployments. The 100W maximum power handling and 2m low-loss cable offer significant headroom for various industrial transmitter configurations.

Applications

LoRaWAN and Sigfox Gateways
Ideal for outdoor LPWAN base stations requiring a durable, high-efficiency antenna for 868MHz or 915MHz networks.
Smart Metering Infrastructure
Used in utility monitoring where the IP69K rating ensures reliable operation in harsh outdoor conditions.
Asset Tracking and Telematics
The permanent mount and mechanical robustness suit vehicle-top or heavy machinery installations.
Industrial Mesh Networking
Provides stable UHF connectivity for localized sensor networks in manufacturing or agriculture.

Getting Started

Ensure the mounting surface is clean and drilled to the correct diameter for the permanent mount threaded post. Connect the SMA Male termination to your RF front-end, keeping in mind that the 2m cable length introduces some signal attenuation that should be accounted for in your link budget. No additional tuning is typically required as the antenna is pre-matched for the 850-928MHz frequency range.
