This LoRa PCB Antenna – iPEX-1 (863–870MHz) is a small, enclosure-friendly antenna built for compact LoRa® and LoRaWAN® devices. Designed for applications where space is limited, the flat PCB format provides consistent performance while maintaining a minimal footprint.
The MHF1 (iPEX-1) connector delivers quick, secure attachment to WisBlock, WisDuo and WisTrio modules without additional adapters. With a tuned 863–870MHz frequency response and 100mm cable length, it’s an ideal choice for embedded IoT nodes that need dependable RF performance inside housings or prototypes.
