For far too long, the process of repairing or upgrading a concealment tower has been very challenging due to the radome surrounding the antennas and equipment. Inflexible structures need to be fully removed to access the tower infrastructure. Meanwhile, the bolts connecting each piece are unwieldy to manage – especially at high heights and in bad weather. Crews spend hours hoisting radome sections up and down, and try to align tricky bolt openings. Often times, all bolts are not fastened properly or in many cases not even installed, leaving the concealment radomes at risk.
Engineers at STEALTH, have solved these problems with the new RadomeFlex™. These new Radomes are made of StealthSkin™, which is flexible and durable plastic with reinforced seams. The radome leaves are fastened together with a revolutionary, easy-to-use strapping method, reducing the need for precise alignment during installation. RF performance also remains high using the market-tested material for which they are known.
RadomeFlex allows crews to “peel back” the radome leaves and easily access the equipment inside. It also allows the concealment circumference to expand slightly, reducing field fit issues.
