Your Signal Booster for Unrivaled Distances in Smart Farming
You know the problem: Your LoRaWAN sensors are spread across vast fields, the nearest pumping station is kilometers away, or your silos stand isolated. Conventional Antennas quickly reach their limits here. The Interline PANEL 14 HELIUM is made precisely for this! With its impressive 14dBi directional antenna, you bundle your signal like a laser beam and establish a rock-solid connection to even the most remote sensor. No more dead zones – your data arrives, even over extreme distances.
Maximum Helium Mining Efficiency, Even with Difficult Line of Sight
Is your Helium Miner not in an open field, but on a house wall or a balcony? An omnidirectional antenna would radiate valuable power into the wall or other obstacles. With the Interline PANEL 14 HELIUM, you direct the full power of your LoRa / Helium Antennas precisely in the clear direction. Optimize your 'Witness' rate and maximize your earnings by aligning your signal precisely with hotspot-dense areas. This 868 MHz Panel Antenna is your key to greater efficiency.
Targeted Coverage from Above: Achieve What Others Cannot
Imagine being able to cover distant target areas precisely from an elevated location – be it a high-rise building, a mountain, or a hill. With the Interline PANEL 14 HELIUM, this becomes a reality. Its focused radiation allows you to supply hard-to-reach valleys, coastal sections, or infrastructures with your M2M / IoT Antennas - 4G, 5G, WiFi signal with pinpoint accuracy. Where omnidirectional antennas fail, this High Range Antenna creates the connection.
Robustness Meets Precision: Your 868 MHz Outdoor Solution
The Interline PANEL 14 HELIUM is not only a range marvel but also a true powerhouse in terms of robustness. Its fully sealed, UV-resistant housing is IP67 Antenna certified and easily withstands extreme weather conditions from -40°C to 80°C. Heavy rain, snow, ice – no problem for this weatherproof antenna. The solid construction and the included tiltable metal bracket for mast mounting ensure a secure and durable installation. Consider the appropriate Antenna Mounting Accessories for your installation.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Extreme range and signal bundling: With 14dBi directional antenna gain and a narrow beam angle of 30°, the antenna concentrates transmitting and receiving power massively in one direction. This enables bridging gigantic distances of many kilometers and targeted connection of distant, isolated sensors or hotspots.
- Pro: Robust and weatherproof design: The fully sealed, UV-resistant housing is IP67-certified and withstands extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow, and ice. The solid construction and the included tiltable metal bracket ensure decades of outdoor use.
- Pro: Universal LPWAN spectrum: The antenna operates broadband from 790 to 880 MHz and is therefore perfectly compatible with various LPWAN technologies such as LoRa, LoRa / Helium Antennas, Sigfox, LoRa / Helium Antennas, RFID, and Z-Wave in the European 868 MHz Antenna band.
- Note: Narrow beam angle requires precise alignment: While the highly focused 30° beam enables extreme ranges, it requires very precise alignment of the antenna to the target area. Incorrect alignment can significantly impair performance and may require fine-tuning after installation.
- Note: Solid construction requires stable mounting: With dimensions of 50.4 x 50.4 cm and a weight of almost 3 kg, the antenna is a real heavyweight. It must be mounted on a very stable antenna mast to safely absorb wind loads, which may place additional demands on the installation infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the advantage of a directional antenna over an omnidirectional antenna for Helium Mining?
A directional antenna like the Interline PANEL 14 HELIUM focuses your transmit and receive power in a specific direction, in contrast to an omnidirectional antenna, which radiates the signal in all directions. This is advantageous if your antenna does not have a 360° line of sight (e.g., on a house wall) or if you want to aim the signal specifically at distant hotspots or high-density areas to maximize your range and the number of 'Witnesses' in that direction.
Can the Interline PANEL 14 HELIUM antenna be used indoors?
Although your antenna is designed for outdoor use and is IP67 certified, you can theoretically also use it indoors if you desire directional coverage. However, its dimensions (50.4 x 50.4 cm) and weight (2.8 kg) are impractical for many indoor spaces. It is primarily optimized for mast mounting outdoors.
What type of cable and connector do I need for the Interline PANEL 14 HELIUM antenna?
Your antenna is equipped with a professional N-Female connector. Therefore, you need a coaxial cable with an N-Male connector to connect your antenna to your LoRaWAN gateway or Helium Miner. We recommend using high-quality, low-attenuation cables to minimize signal loss.
How do I correctly align the Interline PANEL 14 HELIUM antenna?
On the back of your antenna, there is a sticker with a double arrow and the label 'Polarization'. Your antenna is correctly aligned when the double arrow is pointing up/down (vertically). The included mounting bracket allows you to rotate and tilt the panel to precisely aim the focused beam at your target area. Fine-tuning is crucial for maximum performance.
Is the antenna protected against lightning strikes?
Your Interline PANEL 14 HELIUM antenna features DC grounding (short circuit to ground), which protects your connected electronics. This is an important protection mechanism against static charges and overvoltages, but it does not replace proper Lightning Protection installation for your entire mast and building.
Which frequency bands is the Interline PANEL 14 HELIUM antenna suitable for?
Your antenna is optimized for the European, license-free 868 MHz band and operates broadband in the frequency range from 790 MHz to 880 MHz. It is therefore ideal for your applications such as LoRa, LoRaWAN, Helium, Sigfox, RFID, and Z-Wave.
