Exel Composites has secured a patent across Europe for its telecommunications radome design. Four years in the making, the innovative material design will support the increasing roll out of fifth generation (5G) networks and will help telecommunications companies to overcome challenges with signal attenuation and protecting devices on the antenna.
Breaking into the telecommunications market in the 1990s, Exel Composites’ expertise in the industry predominantly involves the manufacturing of radomes. These structures cover antenna systems and radar equipment, offering protection from the environment. A key requirement for these radomes is that the material forming them must be radio-transparent, so that signals can successfully pass through them.
