2dBi peak gain, but you don’t need to select an embedded antenna that has a peak gain

of less than 2dBi in free-space. This will give you a less optimized solution. It is better

to go for a slightly higher free-space peak gain of 3dBi or more if available. Once that

antenna gets integrated into your device, performance will degrade below this 2dBi

peak gain due to the effects of GND plane, surrounding components, and device

housing. If you want to be absolutely sure, contact Taoglas and we will test. Choosing

a Taoglas antenna with a higher peak gain than what is specified by the module

manufacturer and enlisting our help will ensure you are getting the best performance

possible without exceeding the peak gain limits.
