Your 360° Signal Anchor for Demanding Outdoor Networks
If you want to build a reliable base station for a Point-to-Multipoint Network, you need an Antenna you can rely on 100%. The Interline HORIZON 12 is exactly that: a professional Omni-Directional Antenna designed for continuous use under the harshest conditions. Its high-quality fiberglass Enclosure protects the sensitive technology not only from rain and dust (IP67) but also from aggressive UV radiation, which makes ordinary plastic brittle over the years. This ensures your Network's performance remains at the highest level permanently.
Performance That Hits the Mark: Technology in Detail
Inside the HORIZON 12 lies sophisticated engineering. The radiator is based on modern MicroStrip technology on a special Teflon laminate. While that sounds complex, for you it simply means excellent impedance matching and a consistently low VSWR value of under 1.4:1. The signal is therefore transmitted and received extremely efficiently and with minimal loss. With a gain of 12 dBi and a very narrow vertical beamwidth of only 6°, the transmit energy is perfectly focused to achieve maximum horizontal range – ideal for serving widely distributed clients.
Flexible and Focused: The Right Application Area
This Antenna specializes in the 4.9 to 5.4 GHz frequency range. It is the perfect choice for building base stations in less congested frequency bands. Please note that it is not suitable for standard home WiFi in the upper 5 GHz Components range or 2.4 GHz Components band. Its strength lies in establishing stable, professional wireless connections where range and reliability are paramount. Installation is straightforward thanks to the included mounting bracket for masts with a diameter of 38 to 51 mm. This IP67 WiFi Antennas is a true workhorse for your project.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: The IP67 certification and UV-resistant fiberglass Enclosure guarantee exceptional reliability under the harshest weather conditions.
- Pro: An excellent VSWR value of ≤ 1.4:1 ensures highly efficient signal transmission and maximizes effective range.
- Pro: The narrow vertical beamwidth of 6° strongly focuses transmit power and minimizes interference from above and below.
- Pro: The internal construction with Teflon laminate ensures consistently high performance and precise impedance matching.
- Note: The Antenna is exclusively designed for the 4.9 - 5.4 GHz frequency band and is not suitable for standard WiFi frequencies.
- Note: In wirelessly congested areas, an Omni-Directional Antenna may be more susceptible to interference from all directions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Interline HORIZON 12 a standalone WiFi solution?
No, it is a passive antenna. It absolutely requires an external transmitter/receiver such as a WiFi Access Point or WiFi Router with a suitable N-connector to function. Its purpose is to transmit and receive the signal from such a device.
Can I use this antenna for my normal 5 GHz home WiFi?
That is unlikely and not recommended. The frequency range of 4.9 - 5.4 GHz does not cover the channels used for public WiFi in many countries (typically above 5.4 GHz). This 5 GHz Antenna is intended for special, licensed, or less congested frequency bands within this range.
What does a vertical beamwidth of 6 degrees mean in practice?
Such a narrow vertical angle means that the antenna transmits the signal very flat and far horizontally, similar to a lighthouse beam. This is ideal for serving distant clients on the same level. It is less suitable for serving clients significantly above or below the antenna.
Is the antenna protected against lightning strikes?
The datasheet indicates that the antenna does not have a 'DC Ground', meaning it is not DC-shorted. For effective Lightning Protection of the entire installation, a separate Lightning Protection element (surge arrester) must be integrated into the Antenna Cables.
What is the advantage of a fiberglass construction over plastic?
Do I need special tools for mounting?
For mounting the included bracket to a mast (with a diameter of 38-51 mm), standard tools such as a wrench are required. No special tools are needed for this Antenna Mounting Accessories.
