MILITARY ANTENNA MOUNTS

Tactical radios are a vital part of modern military and law enforcement operations. These radios are used by soldiers, first responders and other personnel to communicate with each other in real time, even in the most difficult and hostile environments. However, in order for these radios to work effectively, they must be equipped with reliable, high-performance antennas.

ABEILLON manufacturer of antennas and supports for military antennas 

The company ABEILLON, specialist in military antenna support, manufactures antennas and supports for omnidirectional military antennas in the VHF and UHF frequency ranges for military applications. 

The importance of antenna support structures

The antenna support structure is one of the most important components of a tactical radio. The antenna must be securely attached to the radio and be able to withstand the stresses of transportation and field use. ABEILLON designs the following antenna mounts:

• Flexible bases for military vehicles

They are used to support antennas mounted on tanks and military vehicles

• Flexible and rotatable bases for portable radios

They are used to support radiocommunication antennas while allowing them to keep a given position. These bases are mainly used on portable radios and are ideal for supporting the antennas and tapes manufactured by ABEILLON.

The advantages of flexible metal gooseneck mounts

A flexible metal gooseneck is a durable and versatile mounting solution that allows the antenna to be positioned in almost any direction. Unlike traditional plastic or rubber goosenecks, ABEILLON’s flexible metal goosenecks are made from a high quality metal, such as steel or aluminum, which offers increased strength and durability over other materials. Metal goosenecks are more resistant to temperature extremes, weathering and other environmental factors that can degrade the performance of plastic or rubber goosenecks over time. In addition, metal goosenecks are more flexible and durable, making them more resistant to physical damage from impact, bending and twisting.

The advantages of flexible mounts in tactical radio communications

The flexibility of the gooseneck itself is also important for tactical radio communications. The ability to adjust the position of the antenna on the fly allows for better communication in difficult terrain, such as mountainous or wooded areas, and the flexible gooseneck also makes it easier to store the antenna when not in use. The metal gooseneck also helps avoid interference from other sources, such as buildings, trees and even other radios, which can improve signal quality and extend the range of communications.

ABEILLON’s flexible metal gooseneck antenna mounts are the most popular antenna mounts on the market today for military field vehicles due to their excellent strength and impact protection.
