Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the RP-SMA male interface matches the host device requirements. Confirm the specific gain requirement aligns with either the 8.5 dBi or 6 dBi specification provided in the datasheet. Ensure the mounting location accommodates the 50.00 mm height dimension. Check environmental conditions to validate the necessity of the IP67 rating for the installation site.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when dual-band operation at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz is required within a single compact module. The IP67 rating makes it suitable for outdoor or harsh industrial settings where moisture and dust resistance are critical. Consider the 25 W power handling capability for high-power transmission scenarios. Verify compatibility with RP-SMA female ports on the receiving equipment.
