LoRa Helium Data Mining Antenna 868MHz, 12dBi, 120cm

The Blake UK BLA‑868‑HNT‑12 is a premium, high-performance omni‑directional antenna engineered for the 868 MHz ISM band, perfectly tailored for Helium (HNT) hotspot mining and robust LoRaWAN networks across the United Kingdom and Europe.

Crafted from durable fibreglass, this 120cm antenna delivers an impressive gain of 12dBi (9.85 dBd) to maximise your signal reach and data mining efficiency. It features a low Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of ≤ 1.5 and a standard 50 Ω impedance, ensuring optimal power transfer and minimal signal loss for reliable, long‑range connectivity.

Key Features & Performance

With a full 360° horizontal beamwidth and a 20° vertical beamwidth, this antenna provides extensive coverage. It is capable of achieving guide ranges of up to 40 kilometres in clear rural environments and approximately 15 kilometres in more challenging urban settings, making it an excellent choice for expanding network coverage.

Broad Compatibility

This antenna is directly compatible with a wide array of popular Helium mining hotspots, including models from RAK, Bobcat, SyncroB, and Nebra. Its versatility extends beyond mining, as it is also suitable for various ISM‑band applications such as Sigfox, FLARM, and OGN tracking systems, supporting a diverse range of Internet of Things (IoT) and data communication projects.

Rugged & Ready for Installation

Designed for harsh outdoor environments, its robust construction ensures long‑term durability. The antenna comes complete with an N‑Type male connector and a comprehensive mounting kit, facilitating straightforward installation on a mast, pole, or wall for the optimal positioning to capture signals.
