What is “concealment”?
Concealment is the process of screening, hiding, or “camouflaging” antennas. It can be used to satisfy a city or building owner’s need to minimize the visual affect of an antenna installation by disguising it as flagpole, a rooftop parapet, or any other conceivable design that helps the site blend visually into its environment.

What is a StealthSkin™ V panel?
StealthSkin™ V panels are RF (Radio Frequency) transparent foam panels.
StealthSkin™
V flat and corner panels are available in a variety of sizes and can be painted to match any requested color or even a mirrored glass appearance.
StealthSkin™ V panels can also have a sprayed stucco texture, a troweled stucco texture, or a custom matched brick texture.
STEALTH®
uses a special polyurethane industrial paint on all of our
StealthSkin™ V panels. For panels that require stucco, brick or another custom texture, we use a high quality 100% textured acrylic paint. All
STEALTH®
panels have been RF tested and test results are available upon request.
Structural tests were conducted on the StealthSkin™ V panels and the results proved that the panels with a 10' vertical span could withstand a windload of over 110 psf without failure. A pressure of 110 psf is equivalent to a windload of over 200 mph. With a 5' vertical span, the panels were tested up to 306 psf without panel failure. By modifying some connections, StealthSkin™ V panels can withstand even higher
windloads.
Signal loss on these panels can vary, but you can expect less than 0.5 dB for Cellular (800-900 MHz) and PCS (1.8-2.0 GHz) frequencies. Specific design criteria and signal loss information is available upon request.
