- High-Gain and Extended Range:
Fiberglass antennas are characterized by their high-gain performance, typically ranging from 3 dBi to 12 dBi,
depending on the specific application. The increased gain
results in:
- Longer Communication Distances: These antennas enable long-range connectivity, especially in low-power, wide-area network (LPWAN) systems such as LoRa.
- Improved Signal Quality: Higher gain translates into enhanced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), reducing interference and improving data integrity.
- Omnidirectional Radiation Pattern:
Most of VLG’s fiberglass antennas exhibit an omnidirectional radiation pattern, offering 360-degree horizontal coverage. This makes them ideal for:
- Large-Area Coverage:Ideal for applications requiring broad, uniform signal coverage, such as rural or remote cellular installations, IoT networks, and outdoor Wi-Fi access points.
- Ruggedized Construction for Harsh Environments:
VLG’s fiberglass antennas are enclosed in a durable, weather-resistant fiberglass radome, designed to withstand extreme
environmental conditions:
- IP67 Rated: Provides protection against dust ingress and
temporary submersion in water. - UV-Resistant: Ensures long-term durability under exposure to sunlight and extreme
temperatures. - Impact-Resistant: The fiberglass housing provides robustness against physical impacts, making the antennas suitable for outdoor
deployments.

fiber-optic infrastructure is impractical, these antennas enable high-throughput, low-latency broadband access. - Network Backhaul: When used in conjunction with 5G NR (New Radio) technologies, these antennas ensure robust and
high-speed wireless backhaul, essential for connecting base stations and cell sites in high-density networks. - Vehicular Networks: In connected cars and fleet management systems, fiberglass antennas provide stable 4G/5G connectivity for real-time data transmission, enabling applications such as autonomous driving, telematics, and onboard entertainment systems.
- Wi-Fi Networks
Wi-Fi networks, particularly those utilizing the latest Wi-Fi6 (802.11ax) standard, demand high-capacity antennas to support multiple simultaneous connections with minimal interference. VLG’s fiberglass antennas are designed to:
- Extend Wi-Fi Coverage: In outdoor environments such as parks, campuses, and industrial complexes, fiberglass antennas offer long-range, high-speed wireless coverage.
- Enable Point-to-Point (PtP) and Point-to-Multipoint (PtMP)Networks: For wireless backhaul solutions, these antennas provide reliable data links between access points,
ensuring seamless connectivity over long distances. - Wi-Fi in Public and Industrial Spaces: For applications
in smart buildings, warehouses, or Public transport hubs, fiberglass antennas provide the signal strength and reliability needed for dense network deployments.
- GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems)
GNSS antennas are essential for accurate and real-time location tracking in a wide array of industries. VLG’s
fiberglass antennas for GNSS applications are optimized for:
- Real-Time Kinematics (RTK): In precision agriculture, construction, and geospatial surveying, high-performance GNSS antennas provide sub-centimeter-level accuracy.
- Fleet and Asset Tracking: Fiberglass GNSS antennas are widely used in transportation and logistics to track vehicles, ships, and aircraft, ensuring real-time positioning with minimal signal degradation.
- Navigation Systems: In automotive and maritime sectors,
GNSS antennas offer reliable and uninterrupted GPS reception for navigation, even in challenging environments such as
urban canyons or open sea.
