FlexPIFA 915 MHz LoRa Antenna – Flexible Design, Unbreakable Connectivity
In the world of IoT, where devices come in all shapes and sizes—from curved industrial sensors to lightweight wearables—rigid antennas often fall short. Enter our FlexPIFA 915 MHz LoRa Antenna: a game-changer for space-constrained and irregularly shaped devices. Combining the flexibility of a thin, bendable form factor with the long-range power of 915 MHz LoRa technology, this antenna redefines how you integrate connectivity into your IoT ecosystem. Whether mounted on curved surfaces, embedded in tight enclosures, or attached to portable devices, it delivers reliable performance without compromising on design.
Why FlexPIFA Technology Stands Out
1. Flexible Form Factor: Adapt to Any Surface
The FlexPIFA (Flexible Planar Inverted-F Antenna) design is engineered for versatility:
Ultra-Thin & Bendable: At just 0.3mm thick and flexible up to 90° angles, it conforms to curved surfaces—ideal for smart meters, asset tracking tags, or drone frames where rigid antennas can’t fit.
Lightweight Construction: Weighing only 5g, it adds minimal bulk to portable devices like wearables, agricultural sensors, or logistics trackers.
Low-Profile Integration: Embeds seamlessly into device enclosures without protruding, reducing damage risks in industrial or outdoor environments.
2. 915 MHz Optimization: Long-Range for North American IoT
Tuned specifically for the 915 MHz ISM band—North America’s preferred frequency for LoRaWAN—this antenna ensures:
Extended Line-of-Sight Range: Reaches up to 3km in open areas, connecting remote sensors in farms, warehouses, or suburban landscapes where shorter-range technologies fail.
Superior Obstacle Penetration: The 915 MHz wavelength cuts through walls, foliage, and industrial materials, maintaining links for indoor sensors or buried agricultural monitors.
FCC Part 15 Compliant: Meets strict regulatory standards for unlicensed operation in the US and Canada, simplifying market entry and avoiding compliance headaches.
3. Balanced Performance: Power in a Flexible Package
Don’t let its flexibility fool you—this antenna delivers robust LoRa performance:
2.5dBi Gain: Provides steady signal amplification to overcome path loss in urban or industrial settings, outperforming chip antennas in real-world tests.
Omnidirectional Coverage: Ensures 360° signal propagation, critical for devices that move or rotate (e.g., vehicle trackers, rotating machinery sensors).
Low Power Draw: Optimized for LoRa’s low-duty-cycle operation, it minimizes energy consumption (<1mA) to extend battery life in solar-powered or battery-operated devices (up to 10+ years).
4. Durable & Reliable: Built for Real-World Use
Flexibility doesn’t mean fragility—this antenna is tough enough for demanding environments:
Weather & Chemical Resistance: The flexible substrate resists moisture, UV rays, and industrial chemicals, making it suitable for outdoor agriculture, coastal logistics, or factory floors.
Temperature Tolerance: Operates flawlessly from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to 185°F), enduring extreme cold in freezers or heat in industrial facilities.
Vibration & Impact Resistant: Withstands 10G vibrations and minor impacts, ideal for vehicle-mounted devices or handheld equipment.
Ideal for Flexible IoT Applications
Smart Assets: Integrates into curved containers, tool cases, or vehicle dashboards for logistics tracking.
Wearable Tech: Fits into industrial badges, pet collars, or healthcare monitors without discomfort.
Agricultural Sensors: Conforms to irrigation pipes, greenhouse frames, or livestock tags.
Industrial IoT: Mounts on machinery, storage tanks, or conveyor belts with irregular surfaces.
Consumer Electronics: Embeds into smart home devices, fitness trackers, or portable gadgets.
Beyond the Antenna: Integration Made Easy
Adhesive Backing: Pre-applied 3M adhesive simplifies installation on plastic, metal, or glass surfaces.
Customizable Lengths: Available with 100mm–500mm low-loss cables to match your device’s internal layout.
Design Support: 2D/3D models and integration guides to streamline prototyping and mass production.
