New high gain compact 433 and 868 MHz Wall-mount antennas

EAD has today introduced to new high gain, compact wall-mount omni antennas for 433 and 868 MHz.

The WCO-433-WMB-XR antenna is a 433 MHz compact, omni-directional, outdoor, wall-mount antenna. Based on our popular WCO antenna range, the antenna element is housed in an UV-resistant sheath and terminated in a N-Female connector. The antenna is mounted on a L-bracket and a reflector element approximately 14cm in length sits at the back of the bracket. The reflector enables a higher gain performance of approximately 5 dBi without the need to dramatically increase the footprint of the antenna. This antenna is suitable for 433 MHz ISM applications using licence free bands including RFID systems using 433 MHz.

The WCO-868-WMB-XR antenna is an 868 MHz compact, omni-directional, outdoor wall-mount antenna. Based on our popular WCO antenna range, the antenna element is housed in an UV-resistant sheath and terminated in a N-Female connector. The antenna is mounted on a L-bracket and a reflector element approximately 7.8cm in length sits at the back of the bracket. The reflector enables a gain figure of approximately 5 dBi without the need to dramatically increase the footprint of the antenna. This antenna is ideal for LoRa and SigFox deployments where a small footprint, but high-gain antenna is required.

UWB45727 antenna - a 450 / 700-2700 MHz outdoor omni antenna

EAD is pleased to announce the arrival of a Ultra Wide Band (UWB) antenna covering LTE frequencies at 450 MHz and 700-2700 MHz. The UWB45727 antenna is an outdoor fibreglass omni-directional antenna supplied as standard with a wall-mount bracket.

UWB45727 antenna - shown without wall-mount bracket
Housed in a grey fibreglass sheath, with a PVC cap and passivated aluminium base, the UWB45727 is designed for continuous deployment outdoors offering support for LTE networks running at 450 MHz and across the 700-2700 MHz band. Offering a minimum of 3-4 dBi gain on the 450 MHz band and a minimum of 4 dBi across the higher bands, the UWB45727 is an effective single-antenna solution to cover all LTE services in countries operating LTE 450.

The UWB45727 is available from selected resellers in countries offering LTE 450 MHz services, for opportunities to resell the UWB45727 in your market, please contact us.



Looking for LoRA or Sigfox 868 MHz or 915 MHz antenna solutions? The following list of innovative antennas might help.

The new SigFox and LoRA networks will operate in and around the 868 MHz and 915 MHz frequency bands. For these networks to operate effectively, an intelligent selection of antennas will be required to ensure that coverage is optimised.

We have listed here some interesting antenna solutions based on 868 MHz and 915 MHz that we have been working on, please feel free to contact us at sales@ead-ltd.com if you see something you like, or something similar to your requirements, but cannot see it as a released product on the EAD website.
