Molex LoRa External Antennas
Molex LoRa External Antennas are flexible whip antennas operating on LoRa frequency bands and offering high performance and 360° coverage. The antennas come with SMA and RP-SMA male connectors. These antennas operate on 868MHz and 915MHz LoRa frequencies that offer long-range coverage. The LoRa external antennas feature a high-band antenna with 2.5dBi peak gain and 75% efficiency that provides a strong and stable wireless connection. These RoHS-compliant devices operate from -40°C to +85°C temperature range. The antennas are ideally used in power devices, smart meters, smart logistics, and IoT agriculture.

Are you struggling with reception? Well, then it sounds like your next LoRa solution could do with a high-gain antenna.The Molex LoRa External Antenna is perfect for radio systems operating between 868 megahertz and 950 megahertz, providing a maximum gain of 2.5dBi and efficiency of 75%. Radio power isn't an issue with the Molex LoRa External Antenna thanks to the maximum power rating of two watts and an impedance of 50 ohms, and the small 196-millimeter length makes this antenna more discreet.The antenna uses an industry-standard SMA connector that has a hinged joint allowing for 90 degrees of rotation on the vertical plane and 180 degrees on the horizontal plane. Finally, the Molex LoRa External Antenna has an operating temperature range of -40 to 85 degrees Celsius,making the antenna perfect for most common environments.
