New Optimised Performance Helium Network Antennas from McGill Microwave Systems Ltd
Specially designed for use with Helium Hotspot miners , All Models (i.e Linxdot, Sensecap, Rak, bobcat, Nebra and all others)
McGill Microwave Systems introduce the 3dBi High Performance Antennas for use with the Helium Network offering superior Power Transmission compared to other commercially available alternative non optimised VSWR Antenna designs.
This new Antenna design has been specifically tuned to operate with peak performance over only the frequency band of interest to Helium Hotspot operators – the 868MHz frequency band.
Most commercially available Helium Hotspot Antenna designs available today are designed to be universal – meaning that the one product has been designed to cover both the European EU868 and US915 Frequency bands – resulting in designs which may be non-optimised for either frequency range.
We also have different optimised products with tuned peak performance for the different US 915 Frequency Band for European customers.
These optimised Antennas feature a superior VSWR performances of 1.5:1 maximum – which immediately results in over +7% more transmitted, non-reflected Power from your Antenna and reduced Mis-match loss when compared to many of the commercially available 2:1 VSWR performance.
Antenna Connector: N Male
You will require an N Female connector on your LMR- cable
Please check our shop for the correct LMR cable assembly you require
Antenna designs combined with an excellent 35 +/- 5 degrees (6dBi) signal radiation footprint.

*Note LMR-600 SMA connector struggles to mate with Syncrobit
due to overhang of miner casing.
