AANE-WH-0149-R

Overview

The AANE-WH-0149-R is a straight whip antenna manufactured by Abracon LLC, designed for multi-protocol wireless communication. It supports IEEE 802.11ac/ax/be/b/n Wi-Fi standards, Bluetooth, WLAN, and Zigbee applications. The component features an RP-SMA male connector for mounting and positioning. This antenna provides high peak gain ranging from 2.2 dBi to 3.2 dBi and achieves high efficiency of up to 62%. It is rated IP65 for weatherproof performance.

Feature Summary

• Supports multiple wireless protocols including Wi-Fi 6E/7, Bluetooth, and Zigbee
• High peak gain performance with efficiency up to 62%
• IP65 weatherproof rating for outdoor or harsh environment durability
• Straight whip design with RP-SMA male connector for flexible positioning

Applications

• Wi-Fi access points and routers supporting 802.11ac/ax/be standards
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) IoT devices and gateways
• Zigbee mesh network nodes and smart home controllers
• WLAN industrial equipment requiring weather-resistant connectivity

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision suffix matches project requirements, as variations may exist between standard and SIP packaging versions. Confirm that the RP-SMA male connector interface aligns with the host device's mating port. Ensure the IP65 rating meets environmental exposure specifications if deployed outdoors. Cross-reference the gain range against system link budget calculations to validate signal coverage needs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when multi-band support across Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee is required in a single compact form factor. The straight whip configuration offers directional flexibility compared to fixed PCB antennas. Consider the IP65 rating for installations exposed to moisture or dust. The RP-SMA connector allows for easy replacement or extension via cables, unlike soldered alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to Abracon's RF antenna portfolio, specifically within the whip antenna category. It complements other Abracon solutions like the AANE-WH-0149-SIP, which shares similar electrical characteristics but differs in packaging or connector orientation. The product line targets developers needing robust, multi-protocol connectivity for modern wireless standards.

Replacement Considerations

The AANE-WH-0149-SIP is a documented variant offering similar performance with potential differences in connector style or packaging. Verify mechanical fit and connector gender compatibility before substitution. No other direct cross-model replacements are confirmed in public documentation.
