Overview
Unlock the full potential of your IoT gateway, Helium miner, or LoRaWAN deployment with this professional-grade 915MHz LoRa/HaLow Outdoor Antenna Kit. Designed specifically for the 902-928MHz ISM band used in North America, this complete solution pairs a high-performance omni-directional antenna with a U.FL to N-Type female coaxial cable, giving you everything needed to connect your internal radio module to an external antenna for superior range and reliability.
What is Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah)?
Wi-Fi HaLow is the designation for products incorporating IEEE 802.11ah technology . It augments traditional Wi-Fi by operating in spectrum below one gigahertz (sub-1GHz) to offer longer range and lower power connectivity . Wi-Fi HaLow meets the unique requirements for the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling a variety of use cases in industrial, agricultural, smart building, and smart city environments . Its range is longer than many other IoT technology options, and it provides a more robust connection in challenging environments where the ability to penetrate walls or other obstacles is critical .
Why Choose This Antenna Kit?
Complete Solution: Includes both the outdoor antenna and the necessary U.FL-to-N-Female pigtail cable—no additional shopping required.
Optimized for Sub-1GHz: Unlike generic antennas, this unit is precision-tuned for the 915MHz band, ensuring maximum efficiency for your LoRa or HaLow application.
Professional-Grade Performance: With 5dBi gain, omni-directional coverage, and low VSWR, you'll experience reliable connectivity even at extended distances.
Built to Last Outdoors: Weatherproof construction means this antenna can be mounted on rooftops, towers, or poles and withstand years of exposure to the elements.

⚠️ IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY AND INSTALLATION NOTES
1. Connector Compatibility Check
This antenna features an N-Male connector and requires a device or pigtail with N-Female .
The included cable has U.FL (female) on one end and N-Female on the other. This allows connection from devices with internal U.FL ports to this external antenna.
If your device has an RP-SMA connector, you will need an additional RP-SMA to N-Female adapter (not included) .
2. Frequency Band Verification
This antenna is optimized for the US 902-928 MHz band (ISM). It also supports 868 MHz for EU applications but verify your region's requirements.
This is NOT a 2.4GHz or 5GHz WiFi antenna – using it for WiFi applications will result in poor performance .v
3. Device Compatibility Examples
✅ Works with devices requiring external 915MHz antenna via N-Female or U.FL connection:
RAK Hotspot Miner V2 (with U.FL to N-Female cable, included)
Bobcat 300 (requires appropriate adapter)
Nebra Indoor/Outdoor Hotspot
SenseCAP M1
Kerlink & LongAP gateways
4. Outdoor Installation Guidelines
Ensure all connections are weather-sealed with waterproof tape or enclosures to prevent moisture ingress
Mount antenna vertically for optimal omni-directional coverage
Keep cable runs as short as practical to minimize signal loss
For lightning-prone areas, consider appropriate lightning protection
