The LoRa Fiberglass Antenna 5dBi – 863–870MHz (IP67) is a durable, mid-gain antenna designed for reliable sub-GHz LoRaWAN® coverage. Its IP67-rated fiberglass body withstands rain, dust and UV exposure, while the integrated N-Type male connector removes weak points common in multi-part antenna designs.
 
A 5dBi gain provides a balanced radiation pattern, giving fuller, more stable coverage for nearby and mid-range nodes without the narrow, long-distance “beam” produced by higher-gain antennas. When mounted at height with clear line of sight, it offers consistent performance for gateways, Helium hotspots, and outdoor IoT deployments across suburban, rural, and semi-urban areas.
 
KEY FEATURES:
 
5 dBi Mid-Gain Pattern: Provides stable, fuller coverage for nearby and mid-range nodes without the narrow “beam” of high-gain antennas.
IP67 Weatherproof Radome: Fiberglass (also known as fibreglass) housing protects against rain, dust and UV for reliable long-term outdoor use.
Integrated N-Type Male Connector: Eliminates weak points found in multi-part assemblies, improving durability and RF performance.
360° Omnidirectional Coverage: Ensures uniform horizontal reach, ideal for rural, semi-urban and suburban deployments.
Optimised for EU868 Band (includes UK): Tuned precisely for 863–870MHz LoRaWAN® gateways, hotspots and outdoor IoT devices.
Height-Optimised Performance: Designed to perform best when mounted with clear line of sight, improving connectivity to distant nodes.
Helium Hotspot Compatible: Suitable for improving witness reach and mid-range visibility in Helium and LoRaWAN® networks.
Rugged Outdoor Build: Suitable for rooftop, mast or pole installations exposed to wind, temperature changes and daily weather.
 
IDEAL FOR
 
Helium Hotspots: Improving mid-range witness reach in suburban or semi-rural areas.
LoRaWAN® Gateways: Extending stable outdoor coverage for EU868 (includes UK) deployments.
Smart Agriculture: Linking field sensors, soil probes and environmental nodes across farms.
Environmental Monitoring: Reliable communication with air-quality, weather and water sensors.
Industrial IoT Sites: Outdoor installations where weather resistance and consistent RF performance are essential.
Community or Campus Networks: Achieving balanced coverage across clusters of buildings without over-shooting nearby nodes.
Rooftop & Mast Deployments: Situations where mounting height and clear line of sight improve connectivity to far-placed devices.
