Hi all,
We’re getting ready in Adelaide, SA to get the first gateway(s) up and running and I was wondering if there are any suggestions / recommendatations for external antennas (for 915MHz spectrum).
@maj what Antenna’s are you guys using in SYD ?
Should be able to be sourced in Australia - but I can get the details. Happy to update the WIKI if I can work out how to do this (getting a “delete this page” option, but no edit page ?)
Thanks in advance,
Leo
You should be able to edit the wiki when you log in with your TTN account. If not, please let me know.
Hi Leo. I use Laird FG9023 antennas.
I sell them here, with mount - http://meshed.com.au/product/laird-fg9023-external-lorawan-antenna/
Thanks Andrew !
Will be in touch 
Cheers,

Sorry to drag up this old thread. I am looking to replace the out of the box antenna that came with Laird LG191 gateway and run an external one out from the roof space in a domestic house. I was hoping to cover a decent section of west Perth.
What is the experience with the Laird FG9023 external antenna?
What sort of range are you guys getting in Sydney @Maj ?
or (with a similar topography to Perth) Adelaide @leogaggl ?
Old thread indeed!
I like the FG9023s. I have a few installed.
Check out https://ttnmapper.org/ for an idea of range we’re seeing. But it can be quite variable depending on obstructions, terrain, noise floor and other factors. For instance, you can reach 20+ km to the Barangaroo gateway in Sydney, but if you’re in the city streets at ground level you may not get 500m.
