Why Choose This?
- Reliable RF Performance: Factory-tuned for the 868 MHz band, this helix antenna delivers consistent gain and low VSWR - a significant step up from generic wire antennas that drift off-frequency and kill your link budget.
- Right-Angle Design for Compact Builds: The RA connector keeps your antenna profile low and parallel to the PCB, making it perfect for enclosed IoT nodes, gateway housings, and space-constrained industrial designs.
- Bengaluru-Based Support: Get fast shipping, genuine stock, and hands-on technical guidance from The Engineer Store team - no waiting weeks for overseas shipments or dealing with uncertain quality from unverified sellers.
Project Ideas
- LoRa Smart Agriculture Node: Pair this antenna with an SX1276 module to build a long-range soil moisture sensor node for farms, achieving reliable communication over several kilometres.
- Urban Air Quality Monitor: Deploy a compact 868 MHz wireless sensor network across Bengaluru using this helix antenna for consistent data transmission from pollution monitoring stations.
- Industrial Asset Tracker: Mount this antenna inside a rugged enclosure to enable sub-GHz tracking of equipment and inventory across warehouses and factory floors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this antenna compatible with LoRa modules like the SX1276 and RFM95W?
Yes. This antenna is tuned for 868 MHz, which is the standard LoRa frequency band used in India and Europe. It connects directly to any module with an SMA female port.
Can I use this antenna for 915 MHz applications?
This antenna is optimized specifically for 868 MHz. While it may receive some signal at 915 MHz, performance will be degraded. For 915 MHz projects, choose a dedicated 915 MHz antenna for best results.
What does the right-angle connector offer over a straight connector?
The right-angle design positions the antenna parallel to the PCB, reducing overall height. This is essential for enclosed projects where vertical clearance is limited, such as wall-mounted sensors or compact gateway boxes.
What is the expected communication range with this antenna?
Range depends on your transceiver, environment, and power settings. In typical LoRa configurations with line-of-sight, you can achieve 2-5 km in urban areas and up to 10+ km in open rural terrain.
Is this antenna suitable for outdoor use?
The antenna itself operates across -40 degreesC to +85 degreesC. For outdoor deployments, house it inside a weatherproof IP-rated enclosure to protect the connector and module from moisture and dust.
Do you ship across India?
Yes. The Engineer Store ships from Bengaluru to all major cities and pin codes across India. Most orders are dispatched within 1-2 business days with tracking provided.
