Hot Product - 868 MHz High Gain Omni Antenna WMO8685

This month’s Hot Product is our WMO8685 868 MHz high gain omni antenna designed for 868 MHz frequency bands including LoRa, Sigfox and other IoT technologies where an outdoor, high gain antenna is required.

WMO8685 antenna

Offering up to 5.5 dBi gain, the WMO8685 is a slim, but robust fibreglass antenna mounted onto a L-bracket and fed by 5M cable and a SMA-Male connector as standard.

A 915 MHz version is also available, the WMO9156, with a peak gain of 6 dBi.

Other 868 MHz antennas are also available in our range as well as mid-range solutions offering 3 dBi gain – check out the PMO915-3 which can be easily re-tuned to cover 868 MHz.

For more information, please contact EAD or your local distributor/reseller.

Introducing the PMO915-3 - a 915 MHz 3 dBi pole-mount omni-antenna

EAD has today introduced a new 915 MHz LoRA 3 dBi outdoor omni-directional antenna for pole-mounting applications. Housed in a fibreglass tube, the PMO915-3 is cost-effective and durable solution for 915 MHz connectivity including LoRA deployments. Supplied with a pole-mount bracket and terminated in a N-Female connector for connected to customer-specific coaxial jumper cables such as RF240, the PMO915-3 offers a medium gain acccess solution.

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.

WCO-433-WMB-XR antenna

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.

WCO-868-WMB-XR antenna

Both antennas are available now.

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.
