Strengths & Notes at a glance
- Pro: Broadband and future-proof: The antenna covers a wide frequency range of 690-2700 MHz and is compatible with 2G, 3G, and 4G Antennas-4G technologies, as well as various IoT standards such as Zigbee, WiFi, Z-Wave, LoRaWAN, 4G-M/NB-IoT, and Sigfox. This makes it a future-proof solution for diverse applications.
- Pro: Robust and weatherproof design: With an IP67 weatherproof protection rating, the antenna is water and Vandalism-resistant, making it ideal for use in harsh indoor and outdoor environments.
- Pro: Compact and discreet design: The 'Ultra Low Profile' design (258mm x 34mm x 13mm) enables easy and discreet installation, especially suitable for Smart Meter Antenna or other applications where inconspicuous mounting is preferred.
- Note: Limited Gain: With a maximum gain of 4 dBi, the antenna is designed for areas with moderate to good signal strength. In very remote areas or with extremely weak signals, a higher gain might be beneficial for optimal performance.
- Note: SISO Antenna: The DASH-1 is a SISO (Single Input Single Output) antenna. Unlike MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output), it does not support simultaneous transmission over multiple data streams, which can limit the maximum speed in environments with high data throughput.
