IP67 waterproof LTE wideband antenna for IoT devices

　　IP67 Waterproof LTE Broadband Antenna: Reliable Connections for IoT Devices

　　Core Advantages for IoT Device Scenarios

　　1. IP67 Waterproof and Dustproof: Conquering Harsh Environments

　　Certified to IP67 standards, this antenna completely blocks dust intrusion (no particle penetration) and can withstand temporary immersion in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes, making it an ideal choice for IoT devices deployed outdoors or in wet/dusty environments. Whether it's a smart water meter exposed to rain, an agricultural sensor in a muddy field, or an industrial IoT device in a dusty workshop, this antenna can withstand water splashes, dust accumulation, and even occasional flooding, ensuring no signal interruption or hardware damage. Its sealed housing (made of corrosion-resistant PC/ABS plastic) also prevents moisture and rust, extending the antenna's service life to over 5 years in harsh IoT environments.

　　2. Ultra-Wide LTE Bandwidth: Global IoT Network Compatibility

　　It covers all major LTE frequency bands (700MHz–2700MHz), including Bands 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/17/20/28, seamlessly adapting to the global IoT network standards (FDD-LTE/TDD-LTE) used by operators such as Vodafone (Europe), AT&T (US), and China Unicom (Asia). This eliminates the need for custom antennas for specific regions, enabling IoT device manufacturers to produce a single model for the global market, reducing R&D and inventory costs by 35%. When paired with a compatible module, it also supports Low-Power Wide-Area (LPWA) IoT protocols (such as NB-IoT and Cat-M1), making it suitable for battery-powered IoT devices.

　　3. Compact and Lightweight: Easily Integrates into Small IoT Devices

　　This antenna features a miniaturized design (typical dimensions: 35mm × 25mm × 10mm) and weighs less than 15g, making it easy to integrate into small IoT devices without sacrificing size or portability. It supports flexible integration options: surface mount (SMT) for PCB-embedded devices (e.g., smart sensors), adhesive mounting for enclosures (e.g., asset trackers), and threaded mounting for ruggedized devices (e.g., industrial controllers). Its low-profile design avoids interference with other IoT components (e.g., sensors and batteries), and pre-calibrated impedance ensures plug-and-play compatibility with most IoT LTE modules (e.g., Quectel BG95, u-blox SARA-R5), reducing device assembly time by 25%.

　　4. Low Power Consumption: Extends IoT Device Battery Life

　　This antenna is optimized for the low-power requirements of battery-powered IoT devices (e.g., wireless smart meters and remote environmental sensors), featuring an ultra-low power design (≤0.4W during active transmission). Compared to standard non-waterproof antennas, it reduces device battery power consumption and extends standby time by up to 40%. This is critical for IoT devices deployed in hard-to-reach areas (e.g., mountainous weather stations and underground pipelines), where frequent battery replacement is impractical. Its efficient signal acquisition also minimizes transmission retries, further reducing power consumption without affecting connectivity.

　　5. Signal Stability: Resistant to IoT Interference

　　This antenna features dual linear polarization (±45°) and a low standing wave ratio (≤1.5) to reduce signal degradation caused by IoT environmental interference, such as electromagnetic noise from industrial machinery, multipath reflections from buildings, or signal obstruction by vegetation. It provides a stable gain of 3-5dBi, ensuring reliable data transmission (packet loss rate <0.1%) for IoT devices even in weak signal areas (e.g., sensors on rural farms and smart meters in basements). This ensures that critical IoT data, such as water usage metrics, temperature readings, or asset location updates, can be transmitted to the cloud platform in real time.

　　Key Technical Specifications

　　This IP67 waterproof LTE antenna operates in the 700MHz-2700MHz frequency range, covering all global LTE bands and supporting IoT devices sold on every continent. It provides 3-5dBi of gain (optimized for balanced signal strength and power efficiency) and features dual linear polarization (±45°) to mitigate interference. It supports a maximum input power of 25W, matching the transmit power of most IoT LTE modules, and features a micro U.FL or SMA connector (customizable) for secure, low-loss connection to device PCBs. Measuring 35mm × 25mm × 10mm and weighing 15g, it boasts a compact form factor, while its IP67-rated housing ensures dust and water resistance. It operates stably in temperatures ranging from -30°C to +70°C (suitable forle for most IoT environments) and complies with CE, FCC, RoHS, and REACH certifications—meeting global IoT device regulatory requirements.

　　Ideal Application Scenarios

　　Smart Utility Meters: Powers wireless water, gas, and electricity meters installed outdoors or in damp basements, ensuring stable data transmission of usage metrics to utility companies.

　　Outdoor IoT Sensors: Supports environmental monitoring sensors (e.g., temperature, humidity, air quality sensors) in parks, farmlands, or construction sites, withstanding rain, dust, and temperature fluctuations.

　　Asset Tracking Devices: Equips waterproof asset trackers for logistics (e.g., shipping containers, fleet vehicles) or outdoor equipment (e.g., construction machinery), providing real-time location updates even in wet weather.

　　Industrial IoT Equipment: Withstands dust and moisture in factories, warehouses, or mining sites, powering IoT sensors that monitor machinery status, production lines, or workplace safety.

　　Smart Municipal Devices: Enables connectivity for waterproof IoT components in smart cities—such as outdoor smart streetlight controllers, waste bin level sensors, or traffic flow detectors—resisting rain and urban dust.
