Two-set 915 MHz LoRa antenna kit
This SMUGDESK package delivers two complete 10 dBi omnidirectional whip antennas calibrated for the 902–928 MHz ISM band. Each set includes a flexible 7-inch soft rubber antenna with an SMA Male connector plus a matched MHF1 (U.FL) extension cable. The kit targets builders of Meshtastic mesh nodes, LoRaWAN gateways and LPWAN IoT modules who need longer range than stock antennas provide.
Bundled MHF1 jumper cables solve module mounting
The supplied MHF1 extension adapters convert the antenna’s SMA Male plug to the tiny onboard MHF1 pad found on many ESP32 and RAK LoRa boards. This lets designers route the whip outside a compact enclosure while keeping the radio module on its original PCB. Two identical cable sets are included so both antennas in the package are ready for immediate deployment.
10 dBi gain at 50 Ω impedance decides suitability
The antennas are tuned for 915 MHz centre frequency with low VSWR across the 902–928 MHz band and present a standard 50 Ω load. That 10 dBi gain figure is the single metric that determines whether the kit meets a project’s link-budget requirement; applications needing higher or lower gain, different polarisation or another frequency band will not be served by this hardware.

Questions about this item
Will the 915MHz SMA whip need periodic retuning or replacement?
The 10dBi omnidirectional whip is a passive element with no active circuitry, so it does not require retuning or scheduled replacement under normal outdoor use.
What limits continuous range on a Meshtastic node using these 902-928MHz antennas?
The 50-ohm impedance match and low VSWR keep feed-line loss minimal, so the practical limit becomes regulatory duty-cycle caps and terrain obstruction rather than antenna performance.
Does the 7-inch soft whip or MHF1 pigtail run warm during all-day LoRaWAN gateway duty?
Both the flexible silicone whip and the U.FL adapter cable are completely passive, so they generate no measurable heat and add no power draw to the module.
