The Taoglas OMB.868.B12 (Barracuda) is a fiberglass omnidirectional outdoor antenna, operating in the 868 MHz ISM band. It has a 12dBi high peak gain, providing the largest coverage area for Low Power Radio (UNB Sigfox, LPRN, LoRA) and mesh networks. The antenna is designed for applications such as metering, industrial & environmental monitoring, remote asset monitoring and mesh network applications. With a 12dBi peak gain, the OMB.868.B12 antenna radiates uniformly in the azimuth. This collinear design characteristic provides the best performance, giving optimized coverage and therefore longer range in the horizontal plane over 360 degrees, thus minimizing the number of nodes needed for a mesh network.
The UV resistant fiberglass housing enables the antenna to be utilized in all kinds of harsh environments making it more robust and safer than traditional whip antennas. It can be connected directly to the access point or telemetry unit or can be mounted on the wall or device surface via the N-type connector and a pole/wall mount bracket is included.
