Mikrotik 868 Omni LORA ANTENNA KIT 6.5dBi 824-960MHz SMA Female connector

Antenna kit for LoRa® with a 6.5 dBi Omni antenna for 824-960 MHz, 1 m long SMA cable and mechanical bracket for quick and easy pole attachment.

The new kit offers significantly greater durability in a smaller package, without sacrificing performance. Enhanced cable durability and additional IP66 water resistance with protection against powerful water jets make this kit an excellent choice for all types of marine and coastal projects.

A 1 meter cable with SMA Male connectors is included, and the antenna has a SMA female connector, so it can be connected directly to all Helium cables and Hotspots that have both male and female SMA and  RP-SMA connectors. .

If it is necessary to install LMR400 extension cables with N-type connectors (male or female), an RP-SMA to N-connector adapter can be attached, which is sold separately as an accessory.

Package includes: 1 RP-SMA male cable 1 meter / metal anchors to mast / 868 Mhz 6.5dbi Mikrotik antenna

Mount this antenna to a 25-50mm pole or wall and enjoy excellent coverage!

Lora and LoraWAN
LoRa is the type of radio frequency modulation patented by Semtech and which among its main advantages is:

High tolerance to interference
High sensitivity to receive data (-168dB)
Based on chirp modulation
Low Consumption (battery can last for years)
Long range 2-10 km
Low data transfer (up to 255 bytes)
Point-to-point connection
Working frequencies: 915Mhz America, 868 Europe, 433 Asia

All this makes the technology ideal for long-distance connections and for IoT networks that can be used in smart cities, places with little cellular coverage or private sensor or actuator networks, which is why LoRaWAN was born.

LoRaWAN is a network protocol that uses LoRa technology to communicate and manage LoRa devices, it is mainly composed of two parts: gateways and nodes, the first are in charge of receiving and sending information to the nodes and the second are the end devices. that send and receive information towards the gateway.


Point-to-point (P2P) or machine-to-machine connections.
Sensor networks in cities, countryside or industry.
IoT networks where voice or video transfer is NOT required.
Tracking of vehicles, animals or people.
Private networks that do not require connecting to cloud services or where there is no cellular coverage.

In summary, LoRa ends up being a very flexible technology to solve various and varied problems, thanks to its P2P connection topologies, mesh and private or public LoRaWAN networks. Thanks to its long range and low consumption this makes it a cheap and easy to implement technology.
