Overview

The X9000984-4GDRMB is a high-performance external whip antenna designed by KYOCERA AVX for multi-band cellular and IoT connectivity. It features a tilt and swivel mechanism for optimal positioning and utilizes an RP-SMA male connector for secure mounting to industrial enclosures or gateways. Covering frequencies from 790MHz to 2.69GHz, it is compatible with LTE-M, NB-IoT, LoRa, and Sigfox protocols.

Why Choose This Part

This antenna offers exceptional versatility with peak gains up to 4.7dBi, ensuring strong signal reception in challenging RF environments. Its TPEE housing provides durability across a wide temperature range of -40C to +120C, making it suitable for extreme industrial climates. The dual-band UHF design eliminates the need for separate antennas when supporting both sub-GHz and 2.4GHz communication protocols.

Applications

Industrial IoT Gateways
Providing reliable long-range connectivity for cellular-to-Ethernet bridges in factory environments.
Smart Metering
External antenna solution for utility meters requiring stable signal in the 868MHz or 915MHz bands.
LPWAN End-Nodes
Ideal for LoRa and Sigfox base stations or endpoints that require a rugged, high-gain external antenna.
Remote Asset Tracking
Utilized on mobile equipment to maintain LTE Cat 1 and NB-IoT links across varying cellular coverage zones.

Getting Started

When integrating this antenna, ensure the host device uses a standard RP-SMA female bulkhead connector and implement a ground plane if required by your specific enclosure design to maintain optimal return loss. Engineers should verify the mechanical clearance for the 196mm length when the antenna is fully extended in its vertical orientation.
