Miners often get no coverage outside their house with the standard antennas on the router. By adding an OMNI-292 external antenna miners have got a footprint radius of up to 24 kms.

The Taoglas Barracuda is ideal for rooftops, poles and other high, outdoor places where Helium crypto miners frequently install their antennas to maximize coverage.

A wireless device called a hotspot, or helium miner, uses radio technologies for HNT minting and rewards HNT tokens for providing coverage.

Embedded Works selected and tested the Taoglas Barracuda OMB.915 8dBi omni-directional antenna for use with its Helium miners and saw significant performance enhancements over other vendors' antennas.
