Procurement Notes

Verify the specific gain variant required, as the datasheet indicates a range of 2.2 dBi to 3.2 dBi. Confirm that the SMA male connector type matches the mating interface on the target host device. Ensure the IP65 rating meets the environmental exposure requirements of the intended deployment location. Cross-reference the operating frequency band with the system specifications to guarantee compatibility.

Selection Notes

Select this antenna when a rigid, straight-form factor is necessary for mechanical integration. The IP65 rating makes it suitable for applications exposed to moisture or dust. Consider the SMA male connector requirement for interface compatibility. Evaluate the need for high peak gain within the specified range to determine if this model meets the link budget requirements compared to lower-gain alternatives.
