Using this LoRa antenna is quite straightforward. First, use the included hardware to mount it on a pole. Make sure to mount it vertically so the shrouded connector can protect against water and weather. To connect the antenna, you'll need a cable. We recommend using an N to RP - SMA interface cable to connect it to an RP - SMA connector. If you need to connect to a U.FL device, use our RP - SMA to U.FL cable. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the mounting hardware and make sure it's tight. Also, check the connector regularly for any signs of water or corrosion. This antenna doesn't come with a cable, so always ensure you have the right cable on hand when setting it up.
