Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation, as the model ANT-916-CW-HW typically requires a connector identifier such as -SMA or -N to define the interface type. Confirm availability status, as certain variants may be discontinued or subject to supply constraints. Ensure the selected variant matches the required mechanical height and environmental rating for the intended deployment environment.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this antenna when a compact, low-profile solution is required for sub-GHz ISM frequencies. The 1.2dBi gain offers a balance between size and performance for short-range IoT links. Compare against the ANT-916-CW-HWR-SMA if a tilted orientation is necessary for polarization matching. Ensure the host device supports the specified SMA male connector interface.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the ANT-916 series of RF antennas designed for global ISM bands. It complements other form factors in the lineup, including right-angle whips and panel-mount options. The series targets LPWAN and sensor network deployments requiring reliable sub-GHz connectivity.
