Horizon 868 Helium Lora Antenna IH-G08-F8688 868 MHz 8dbi IoT M2M

 
Interline HORIZON 868 HELIUM | 868 MHz LoRa Omni Antenna, Outdoor, 8dBi
Designed for IoT M2M (Machine to Machine) systems like Lora, LoRaWAN, Sigfox, XBee, RFID. Z-WAVE: HORIZON 868 HELIUM is a narrowband antenna, dedicated to the 868 MHz band with a gain of 8dbi which will allow long range coverage. It has a built-in bandpass filter. This limits interference from other transmitters working in neighboring radio bands, and in particular the GSM 900 / 4G 800MHz system, which transmits with high output powers. All frequencies outside of the antenna work band are shorted to ground.

    Description

Designed for IoT M2M (Machine to Machine) systems like Lora, LoRaWAN, Sigfox, XBee, RFID. Z-WAVE: HORIZON HELIUM is a narrowband antenna, dedicated to the 868 MHz band with a gain of 8dbi which will allow long range coverage. It has a built-in bandpass filter. This limits interference from other transmitters working in neighboring radio bands, and in particular the GSM 900 / 4G 800MHz system, which transmits with high output powers. All frequencies outside of the antenna work band are shorted to ground.

HORIZON HELIUM is a carefully designed and built omni-directional antenna operating in the unlicensed 867-870MHz band. Typical applications are monitoring and digital transmission of small amounts of data. Compared to the previous model of this antenna, the design of the radiator has changed. Silver-plated radiating elements were used (increasing the efficiency of the antenna).

The enclosure of the HORIZON antenna is made of heavy fiberglass. The robust, light weight and UV resistant construction is weatherproof (IP64 rating) which makes the antanna usable for in- and outdoor appliances.

The antenna is designed for mast/pole or wall handle installation. A mounting kit (angle bracket and u-clamp for 30-50mm diameter handles) is included.

and other devices operating at this frequency.

For certain applications, such as urban environments or where large areas of terrain need to be monitored, the Horizon 8 Helium outdoor antenna will be the perfect addition to your Helium system. It is a solid solution that provides extra power and coverage for Helium outdoor base stations. The antenna has a medium gain of 8dBi, a length of 86cm, a frequency range of 868-880MHz, and comes complete with pole and wall mounting hardware.

 

 In the new model, we have rebuilt the antenna radiator, modifying the radiation pattern, by changing the "phasing"antenna radiators.

It is a special antenna, with the main beam of radiation lowered (towards the ground) by 10 °, and suppressed undesirable upper lobes. This provides better coverage of the "area" under the antenna.

 

Helium LoraWan devices, working with commercially available broadband antennas, covering the EU868 and US915 MHz range.

 

These antennas also receive strong signals from GSM 900MHz transmitters, working in Europe with high powers.

 

 

This adversely affects the range and sensitivity of Helium-LoraWan devices, intermodulations may appear, especially near GSM antenna masts.

Our antenna has a built-in bandpass filter that works without attenuation in the working band of the antenna and is characterized by attenuation for other frequencies.

It is a specialized narrowband antenna operating in a dedicated band (EU868), which allows it to obtain a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and maintain high sensitivity of the receiver in the device.

 

The range obtained on this antenna is even several dozen kilometers. The range depends on the mounting height, the type of Access Point, the quality of the antenna connector used (unit attenuation, length, quality of connectors), as well as the terrain and configuration of access points on the other side of the link.

 

In the construction of the heat sink, we do not use LC matching circuits (capacitance-inductance correlation) that allow for "artificial" antenna impedance adjustment and lowering the VSWR coefficient. This causes an increase in induction or capacitance which results in "blurring" of digital signals and has a negative impact on the bit / Hz encoding and the error rate (BER). Our antenna works "clean, resonant-resistive" and has a very low self-noise figure and an excellent bit / Hz encoding ratio.

 

The antenna housing is grounded, which protects it against electrostatic discharge

(electric charges appearing on the antenna are discharged to the earthing system)

 For proper operation, the mast on which the antenna is mounted must be grounded to the existing lightning protection system.
