Description
Laird OD58M-12 – 5.8 GHz 12 dBi Mesh Series Omnidirectional Antenna (Clearance Stock)
The OD58M-12 from Laird Technologies (TE Connectivity) is part of the Mesh Series, delivering reliable 360° omnidirectional coverage in the 5.47–5.85 GHz band. With 12 dBi gain and a narrow vertical beam, it excels at providing uniform signal distribution for mesh networking, base stations, or point-to-multipoint links—ideal for extending 5 GHz wireless reach in remote or industrial settings without directional aiming.
Key features include:
- Frequency range: 5470–5850 MHz (optimized for 5 GHz unlicensed Wi-Fi, WiMAX, or ISM data links).
- Gain & Coverage: 12 dBi gain with full 360° horizontal and ~7° vertical beamwidth for broad, even coverage.
- Polarization: Vertical (standard for many outdoor mesh/telemetry setups).
- Connector: Integrated N-male (direct, waterproof mount to enclosures or poles—no extra bracket needed in base config).
- Rugged build: UV-stable fiberglass radome, corrosion-resistant, DC grounded for lightning protection; lightweight and durable for harsh Australian outdoor conditions (industrial, agriculture, water/wastewater, transportation).
- Applications: Mesh networking, SCADA/telemetry base stations, Wi-Fi hot zones, remote monitoring extensions, or unlicensed 5 GHz backhaul.
