Description

The RAKwireless 5 dBi Fiberglass Antenna (RAKARG18) is a professional outdoor omnidirectional antenna engineered for LoRaWAN gateways. Tuned for the EU868 band (863–870 MHz), its 5 dBi gain extends coverage and improves uplink/downlink reliability — ideal for rooftop, pole, and mast installations.

A rugged fiberglass radome protects the antenna in harsh outdoor conditions, while the one-piece connector-to-body design increases durability and weather resistance. The standard N-Type male connector makes it compatible with most outdoor LoRaWAN gateways and low-loss coaxial cabling.

Key Features

5 dBi Omnidirectional Gain A 5.0 dBi gain with 360° omnidirectional, vertically-polarized coverage extends gateway range and improves link reliability across wide outdoor areas.
Rugged Fiberglass Build A weatherproof fiberglass radome and a one-piece connector-to-body construction resist the elements and mechanical stress for dependable long-term outdoor use.
N-Type Male, 50 Ω A standard N-Type male connector and 50 Ω impedance ensure broad compatibility with outdoor LoRaWAN gateways and low-loss coaxial feeders.
Tuned for EU868 Optimized for 863–870 MHz with a low VSWR of ≤1.63 for efficient power transfer on European LoRaWAN networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which gateways is it compatible with?

Any LoRaWAN gateway with an N-Type female (or matching adapter) RF port operating on EU868 — including most RAKwireless, Milesight, Kerlink, and Dragino outdoor gateways.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

Yes — it has a weatherproof fiberglass radome and a durable one-piece connector design intended for outdoor pole, mast, and rooftop installations.

Do I need a cable?

For mast/rooftop mounting away from the gateway, use a low-loss N-Type coaxial cable (sold separately). Keep the run as short as possible to minimise signal loss.

Which frequency does it support?

This model is tuned for the EU868 band (863–870 MHz). A 902–928 MHz version exists for US915/AU915 regions.
