¶ General Description
The Delta 68 is a compact DIN-rail mounted antenna designed for reliable wireless connectivity in industrial infrastructure equipment. Supporting 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, LTE-M, NB-IoT and 5G NR, together with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ISM technologies, it is ideal for industrial IoT gateways, smart utility equipment and connected control systems.
With approximately 0–3 dBi gain, the Delta 68 delivers dependable omnidirectional performance while supporting multiple wireless technologies from a single antenna, reducing installation complexity and the need for multiple antennas.
The DIN EN 50022 / IEC 60715 mounting format enables fast, secure installation on standard 35 mm DIN rails – creating a neat, space-efficient installation while maintaining the correct vertical orientation. A right-angle Fakra-D jack connector is supplied as standard, with alternative connector options available for greater installation flexibility.
