The antenna's 2.4–7.2 GHz frequency range makes it particularly well suited to next-generation tri-band WiFi equipment. WiFi 6E adds operation in the 6 GHz spectrum to the traditional 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi bands, while WiFi 7 can use all three bands for increased throughput, additional channel capacity, and advanced multi-band wireless networking.
With a specified 5.0 dBi gain, 50-ohm impedance, and VSWR of ≤2.0, this antenna provides a practical combination of broadband RF performance and compact size. The standard SMA male connector allows direct connection to compatible routers, access points, gateways, radio modules, and other WiFi equipment.
The slim paddle-style ABS housing measures approximately 14 × 23 × 171.4 mm, providing a relatively low-profile antenna for equipment installations where space is limited. The antenna incorporates RG178 coaxial cable within the assembly and is designed for reliable operation over a temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
An IP65 environmental rating provides protection against dust and water jets, making the antenna suitable for industrial equipment, protected outdoor installations, wireless enclosures, and other demanding applications.
WiFi 6E and WiFi 7 Applications
The antenna is suitable for WiFi 6E and WiFi 7 routers and gateways, tri-band access points, industrial WiFi systems, IoT gateways, wireless networking equipment, embedded wireless devices, kiosks, telemetry systems, and other 2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz applications.
For WiFi equipment using MIMO or multiple spatial streams, multiple antennas may be required according to the radio or access point design.
