Overview
This high-gain 15 dBi Yagi antenna is designed for long-range directional communication in the 900 MHz ISM band, covering applications between 890 MHz and 960 MHz. Its narrow beamwidth and high front-to-back ratio make it ideal for point-to-point RF links, base station access, and cellular signal enhancement, especially in rural or obstructed environments.
Directional Yagi Antenna Performance: This Yagi antenna radiates a focused signal in the direction it is pointed, offering a concentrated beam pattern. This directional design significantly reduces interference compared to omnidirectional antennas by minimizing signal dispersion and eliminating much of the surrounding noise. (Refer to the radiation pattern image for details.)
Frequency Compatibility: Ideal for use with LoRa, LoRaWAN, Helium LongFi, GSM, ZigBee, Wi-Fi HaLow, and other wireless protocols operating in the 850–920 MHz frequency band.

Superior Connector Quality: Data Alliance ensures reliable, low-loss performance through high-quality Type-N connectors with precision soldered terminations, minimizing discontinuities and maintaining signal integrity.
Durable Construction: The connector body is made of nickel-plated brass, offering superior resistance to weather and corrosion. Nickel is one of the most durable and corrosion-resistant plating options available for outdoor antenna installations.
Mount Options: See our mount options for antennas with an N-connector (Type-N connector)
