SPECIFICATION Part No. : FW.86.B.NTY.M Description : Meteor-868MHz Flexible Whip Monopole Antenna Features : External 868MHz Monopole Antenna Rugged Design for Outdoor Use Robust Inner Steel Core Antenna Height 243mm N Type(M) Straight Connector IP67 dust and water-resistant *Tested on 30*30cm Ground Plane RoHS Compliant SP-15-8-SPE-16-8-080/A Page 1 of 11 1. Introduction The FW.86 is a flexible 868MHz whip antenna with an N type(M) connector for outdoor use. It features excellent efficiency and high peak gain at 868MHz on a 30*30cm ground plane. The antenna was specifically developed for applications such as weather monitoring systems, motion/vibration sensors, pollution monitoring, and border guard monitoring systems. The FW.86 works at 868MHz with high efficiency, meaning that it allows your radio to consume less power than with a lower efficiency antenna when transferring data. The whip is made of a flexible inner steel core covered by PE so it is extremely resistant to abrasion and maintains its original shape and RF performance. This rugged design and IP67 rating has been tested by our customers to withstand environmental stress and moderate physical shock in the field. The FW.86.B.NTY.M 868MHz whip antenna, with an N type male connector, provides a simple solution to any outdoor devices where the FW.86 antenna’s rugged design and high efficiency can provide the best value to the application SP-15-8-SPE-16-8-080/A Page 2 of 11 2.
