Omnidirectional Antenna ALLNET ANT-868-6dbi-OMNI 868 MHz, 6 dBi gain

ALLNET ANT-868-6dbi-OMNI is an omnidirectional external antenna for 868 MHz wireless applications, offering 6 dBi gain to improve coverage and link stability. It is intended for devices operating in the 868 MHz band such as IoT nodes, remote sensors and telemetry equipment. The antenna provides uniform 360° radiation to extend effective range and reduce dead zones in both indoor and outdoor installations.

Advantages

The antenna's omnidirectional pattern ensures even horizontal coverage around the mounting point while the 6 dBi gain increases effective radiated power for improved range without complex alignment. Its external mounting design supports both indoor and outdoor placement to adapt to site requirements. The device is compatible with a variety of 868 MHz equipment and helps stabilize communications in networks with dispersed endpoints.

Suitable for

• Extending range of IoT devices and low-power sensors operating at 868 MHz
• Telemetry links and remote monitoring systems
• Smart metering and building automation where wider coverage is required
• Outdoor or indoor installations needing uniform 360° coverage

Key specifications

• Frequency band: 868 MHz
• Gain: 6 dBi (omnidirectional)
• Polarization: typically vertical (check device mounting)
• Radiation pattern: 360° horizontal omnidirectional
• Mounting: external mount suitable for wall, mast or pole installation
• Environmental suitability: designed for indoor and outdoor use

How to use

Mount the antenna in a location that provides the clearest line of sight possible to the devices or gateways you intend to serve. For outdoor installations, place the antenna on a mast or pole at a height above local obstructions; for indoor use, install it on a high wall or near a window to reduce attenuation. Connect the antenna to your device or gateway using the appropriate coaxial cable and connector type compatible with your equipment. Ensure connectors are tightened and, for outdoor setups, weather-sealed according to standard installation practice.

Recommendations

Position the antenna vertically to match typical device polarization and avoid nearby large metal structures that can degrade performance. When increasing range, verify regulatory limits for transmit power in your region and perform site-specific tests to confirm coverage and link reliability.
