There are things that are necessary – but not really nice. We would like to use them, but are not really willing to actually see them. Therefore, electrical cables are not laid on the wall in flats, but concealed under plaster. Water, waste-water, and gas pipes are not running on top of the road, but in the underground in ducts.

 

Antennas are needed for mobile and wireless communication. So that the radio waves sent have a range as wide as possible, antenna systems have to be erected on elevated sites. The “antenna farm” existing in some places on the roofs of tenement and commercial houses, hotels, church towers and city halls is often deemed to be unsightly and distracting. Beyond the aesthetic aspect, legal issues of monument preservation often play an important role, too.

 

Antennas cannot be positioned simply behind a wall. They should not be visible, but have to fulfill their tasks reliably – sending and receiving of radio waves. Electromagnetic waves are strongly absorbed by common building materials - brickwork, concrete, steel, roof tiles, glass, wood or plastics. In order to maintain radio coverage as planned notwithstanding any concealment, the transmission power on site should be considerably increased. As a consequence thereof, power consumption would distinctly rise.

 

Therefore, MUGLER has developed the special Tecryl® material for concealment. It is optimized for the frequency range of antennas to be concealed and is penetrated by radio waves of that frequency almost without any losses. Furthermore, it is almost completely adjustable in shape, color, and structure as you like and ensures the complete incorporation of a modern radio equipment in the cityscape and landscape. 
 
Tecryl® is a registered brand name of MUGLER AG. It stands for the link between function and design on the highest level. Our material-specific level is based on intensive in-house research work, simulations, measurements and a large variety of projects implemented.
