IoT/M2M

RF Category

The FW.95 is a flexible 915 MHz whip antenna with IP65 housing. It has a wide response and high peak gain. Ideal for outdoor environments which require high gain, particularly on upper bands. It features excellent efficiency and good peak gain on the 915 MHz ISM band (902 to 928 MHz) when attached to a 300 x 300 mm metal plate.

The antenna was developed for monitoring systems, such as weather monitoring, motion / vibration sensors, and pollutants monitoring. The FW.95 has an excellent omni-directional radiation pattern, ensuring wide coverage. The antennas high efficiency means that it allows your radio to consume less power than with a lower efficiency antenna when transferring data. It also means a better signal strength and better sensitivity in areas of low signal levels.

The antenna performs at its best while attached to a ground plane with dimensions of at least 300 x 300 mm. For an environment where there is no ground-plane available we recommend to use the terminal mount antenna the TI.19 or the outdoor fibreglass omni antenna the OMB.915.

The FW.95 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 even after shock. This rugged design and IP65 rating on the housing ensure high reliability.
