The FW.86.RNT.M is a flexible 868 MHz whip antenna with an RP-N type (M) connector for outdoor use. It features excellent efficiency (>95%) and high peak gain (>4.5 dBi) at 868 MHz on a 30×30 cm ground plane. The antenna was specifically developed for monitoring systems, such as weather monitoring, motion/vibration sensors, and pollutants monitoring. It has an excellent omnidirectional radiation pattern, ensuring wide coverage. The high efficiency means that it allows your radio to consume less power than with a lower efficiency antenna when transferring data. It also means a better strength of signal, and better sensitivity in areas of low signal levels.
The FW.86.RNT.M performs at its best while attached to a ground plane with dimensions of at least 30×30 cm. For an environment where there is no ground-plane available we recommend using the TI.18 or OMB.868.05.
The antenna's whip is made of a flexible inner steel core covered by PE so it is extremely resistant to abrasion and maintains its original shape and RF performance even after shock. This rugged design and IP65 rating on the housing ensure high reliability.
