The Laird Connectivity 5.15dBi Antenna FG8243 is a high-gain collinear omnidirectional fiberglass antenna for 868 MHz gateways. Its focused horizontal beam extends LoRaWAN coverage from rooftops and towers while the UV-treated radome stands up to years of outdoor exposure.

Key specifications

• Frequency range 824–896 MHz — covers EU868 LoRaWAN band
