This portion of the radio frequency spectrum, typically ranging from 3.7 to 4.2 GHz, is prized for its balance of coverage and capacity—making it a key player in mid-band 5G deployments. It offers faster speeds than low-band and broader reach than mmWave.

Mid-Band C-band

200

This Raycap solution is a proprietary RF-transparent material designed to conceal 5G mmWave and C-Band radios with minimal signal attenuation. Tested 700 MHZ up to 100 GHz, it offers UV resistance, water repellency, and flame resistance

This antenna configuration technique adjusts the angle of the signal beam electronically—without physically moving the antenna—to better control coverage area, reduce interference, and optimize signal strength near the base of a cell tower.

electrical downtilt

300

This patented Raycap technology is a maintenance-free surge protection device designed for both AC and DC applications. Known for its ability to absorb and dissipate high-energy transients without degradation, it meets IEC 61643-31 Class I & II standards and is UL 1449 5th Edition Type 2 Component Assembly certified

Strikesorb

This Raycap product, vital at service entrances of buildings, is engineered to manage, isolate, and safeguard power systems—serving as the nucleus for power distribution and control across entire facilities.

What are switchboards?

500

This region of the stress-strain curve follows yield and represents significant deformation without much increase in load.

What is the plastic region?
