Antenna for Meshtastic, 868-915MHz, N-Type, Outdoor, 12", 3dBi

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!
