Outdoor antenna compatible with Meshtastic. A broadband antenna that performs well across both 868-915MHz for global coverage. Perfect for permanent outdoor solar nodes, POE, or any other outdoor Meshtastic radio that requires a weatherproof, UV-resistant, durable antenna.

  • Best For Cluttered Terrain: Handles forests, hills, and urban environments well.
  • Wider Coverage Angle: More forgiving if nodes move or are at varying elevations.
  • Compact & Versatile: Easier to mount, less noticeable, and suitable for closer-range or uneven ground.

Choosing a 3dBi antenna over higher-gain options is a strategic decision to maximize network reliability, coverage, and adaptability in challenging outdoor environments.

This antenna has an N-Type Male connector, which is stronger than an SMA connector and has a better weather seal. The connector gender refers to the conductor connection, not the threads on the housing. N-Type Male connectors have a female thread housing, with a male pin. 

NOTE: The label on the antenna indicates 915MHz, but after recent testing we discovered this antenna performs even better at 868MHz. See the SWR test results below!

This thing is really great. I'm able to hit other rooftop nodes nearly 30 miles away and a mountain peak about 55 miles away.

The Antenna itself physically is fine but

The Antenna itself physically is fine but. Be aware that the frequency it is tuned for is not very tight for MeshCore. For use in an urban environment it picked up 10db more noise than my other antenna. So I think outside an urban environment it would do well.

GREAT QUALITY.

Easy to use works great and couldn’t be happier. It’s nice to be able to support a small business that hasn’t cut any corners.

Recommend!

I live 1/2 hour north of Calgary, where meshmaps shows the bulk of nodes in my area. I installed the Beacon on a 28’ mast. Within a few hours the count is 72 nodes and growing. The fit and finish is truly top notch, dead simple to get up and running. Recommend!

Awesome antenna for an awesome price

I use this Meshtastic antenna for my beacon at home. It works so well and adds to reaching out further to many more Nodes.
