The support structure of the Light Beam Plus Antenna series is very different from that of any other antenna that is currently on the market. Manufactured of UV stabilized polycarbonate plastic (also used to make bullet proof glass), the Light Beam Plus antenna is extremely strong, light weight, and nearly indestructible. The spreaders are a super-strong I-Beam construction. The end-hubs are sturdy, heavy-duty double plate assemblies which connect the spreaders to the boom. No need to worry about high wind or snow load with this antenna design!
The most amazing feature of the Light Beam Plus antenna series is how it virtually disappears by assuming the color and texture of whatever is behind it. The polycarbonate plastic support structure is perfectly transparent and allows light to pass through. Now, that’s what we call stealthy! All the antenna systems on this page share these characteristics.
