Quectel Wireless Solutions, an end-to-end global IoT solutions provider, has unveiled five new durable fiberglass antennas, covering LoRa, V2X, Wi-Fi and 5G technologies. The new antennas augment Quectel’s comprehensive existing range with new variants designed to address the requirements of specific use cases.

“These five new durable fiberglass antennas provide discreet, robust options across the key wireless technologies,” commented Colin Newman, Director of Antenna Business Development, Quectel Wireless Solutions. “We increasingly see demand for antennas across LoRa, Wi-Fi, 5G and V2X that enable demanding use cases from all areas of the communications and IoT market. We look forward to collaborating with customers to address their application needs with these powerful new antennas.”

The YENT005W7AM is a LoRa fiberglass omni-directional antenna aimed at the medical devices, smart monitoring and smart home markets. Offering high gain and efficiency, the antenna has a diameter of 25.5mm and height of 600mm. Terminated with N type male connectors, the antenna provides broad coverage in the 863-873 MHz frequency range and weighs 220g.

It is ideal for use cases where the antenna installation needs to be discreet and durability is assured thanks to its IP67-rated FRP enclosure. The YENT005W7AM is compatible with the Quectel RM250x series modules and this robust product operates in the -40 °C to +85 °C temperature range.

Quectel has also launched the YENT006W7AM LoRa fiberglass antenna aimed at the same applications as the YENT005W7AM with which it shares many features including dimensions, operating temperature range, N type male connectors and an IP67-rated FRP enclosure. Also compatible with the Quectel RM250 series modules, the YENT006W7AM operates in the 910-920MHz frequency range and has been designed as an array type antenna to work in free space.

As the vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications market continues to develop, Quectel has introduced the YEVT001W7AM V2X fiberglass terminal mount antenna. This has a diameter of 25.5mm and a height of 600mm, providing coverage in the 5850-5925 MHz frequency range. This omni-directional antenna has been developed for microwave communication equipment, communication base stations, radio and television systems, and weather radars.

Offering high gain and efficiency, the YEVT001W7AM is terminated with N type male connectors and has an IP67-rated FRP enclosure. The antenna weighs 220g and operates in the -40 °C to +85 °C temperature range.

For Wi-Fi connectivity, the YEBT002W7AM is a Wi-Fi terminal mount fiberglass dipole external antenna that operates in the 2400-2500 MHz frequency range. With a diameter of 25.5mm and a height of 300mm, this ultra-wideband antenna has also been developed to support microwave communication equipment, communication base stations, radio and television systems, and weather radars. It has been designed to work with various ground plane sizes or in free space with maximum durability assured thanks to its IP67-rated FRP enclosure.

Compatible with Quectel’s Wi-Fi modules, the YEBT002W7AM weighs 180g and operates in the -40 °C to +85 °C temperature range. The antenna is terminated with N type male connectors and offers a low profile, making it well-suited for applications where the antenna is required to be discreet.

For 5G use cases, the YECT010W7AM offers a terminal mount fiberglass dipole external antenna. With a diameter of 25.5mm and a height of 300mm, this 5G antenna operates in the 600-960 MHz and 1400-5000 MHz frequency ranges while offering backward compatibility to support 2G, 3G and 4G networks as well as LTE Cat-M and narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT). Compatible with Quectel’s RM520X series modules, this omni-directional antenna has been designed to support microwave communication equipment, communication base station, radio and television system, and weather radar use cases.

Simple to install, the antenna has an IP65-rated FRP enclosure and has been designed as a dipole antenna to work with various ground plane sizes or in free space. Terminated with N type male connectors, this low-profile antenna is both ROHS and REACH compliant and operates in the -40 °C to +85 °C temperature range.

All the new antennas benefit from Quectel’s comprehensive antenna design support backed by the company’s regional R&D centers. In common with all Quectel antennas, customers can access Quectel’s simulation, testing and manufacturing expertise to create customized antenna solution to meet their specific application needs.
