The McGill 4 dBi Antenna is a compact, omni-directional antenna precisely tuned for the 868 MHz ISM band, ideal for LoRaWAN® gateways and Helium (EU868) hotspots in urban and indoor environments. Its shorter vertical beam angle reduces signal overshoot, making it perfect for installations where nearby device communication and interference control are key.
With its robust fiberglass body, N-Type Female connector, and IP65-rated waterproof design, this antenna is built for durability in outdoor or indoor rooftop setups.
