This large multinational satellite services provider specified the Fibrelite Trenwa partnership trench and cover system for their latest satellite earth station antenna facility in the U.S.
Once in a while, a product will come along whose performance will drive a change in standards across entire industries. Like stainless steel. Or concrete. Or a trench cover which
Designed for data transfer and inductive charging
Installed from Cadiz to ConnecticutFollowing demand for Radio Frequency (RF) friendly covers, Fibrelite has developed a range of FRP GRP composite manhole and trench covers, specifically designed (and independently tested) to support data transfer between antennas underground and aboveground and inductive wireless charging.
Key applications include belowground 5G and Wi-Fi, remote underground monitoring systems/telematics in utilities and wireless electrical vehicle charging (EVC). The new range has the same lightweight, strong, maintenance-free properties as all Fibrelite covers.
Traditional ductile iron and reinforced concrete manhole covers aren’t conducive to the transmission of RF signals or inductive charging. Metal reflects the signals, while concrete greatly weakens them (exhibits high attenuation coefficients). This means that the transmitted signals are greatly weakened, restricting range and functionality.
Glass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) (GRP) in contrast, absorbs far less of the signal (lower attenuation coefficient. Full details in whitepaper.). In the case of inductive charging, a non-metallic solution is essential to prevent electrostatic charge buildup and influencing the magnetic field.
