Semtech Antennas
High-performance antennas from Semtech deliver dependable wireless connectivity for both mobile and fixed applications. They are part of the Semtech AirLink product family (formerly Sierra Wireless) and are engineered to perform well in the industrial, enterprise, and public safety networks that demand an antenna’s capabilities.
Built for 4G LTE and 4G communication, Semtech antennas offer a strong signal, wide coverage, and stable data transfer. Their design integrates advanced RF engineering and a rugged build that allows them to perform well seamlessly across distributed enterprise, transportation, and remote monitoring systems, where that seamlessness is absolutely mission-critical.
Most Semtech antennas have been specifically developed to work with AirLink routers and gateways, which means that if you are using an AirLink in concert with a Semtech antenna, you are almost guaranteed to have a very efficient and effective network. Data throughput, coverage, and reliability are basically the three key performance indicators for mission-critical wireless networks, and if you don’t have those with uninterrupted operation, then you can’t rely on the network for anything of substance.
More Information about Semtech Antennas
Fleet systems, public safety networks, and industrial installations are the three key target markets for Semtech antennas. Mounting options are varied and give the user flexibility; on the other hand—unlike many antennas—the Semtech antenna plainly states how many RF connectors it has and what type they are. The tough casings of these devices protect them from environmental dangers like vibration, dampness, and extreme temperatures.

Antennas: Omni vs Yagi
Yagi Antennas
Yagi Antennas are directional antennas that can transmit and receive data coming from a specific direction (the direction the antenna is facing). Thus, directional antennas must be aimed in the direction of the potential signal transmitter. Aiming the antenna correctly is essential for optimal reception. Knowing the width of the antenna's signal pattern is the best way to ensure optimal aim.
Omni Antennas
Omni Antennas can pick-up signals coming from all directions. They are most commonly used for signal reception over a large area where the potential location of any incoming signal's transmitter varies. Therefore, unlike Yagi antennas, Omni antennas do not need to be pointed in a particular direction. Each specific antenna has a gain rating or dBi (decibel isotropic) number which coincides with the performance of the antenna. The higher the dBi rating, the larger area covered.
