What Is an Antenna Cover?
An antenna cover is a protective casing designed to shield outdoor antennas from the elements, including rain, wind, snow, and dust. By acting as a physical barrier, it offers waterproofing, dustproofing, wind resistance, and heat resistance, protecting the antenna’s internal components from environmental damage.
These covers are essential for various types of antennas, such as household television antennas, mobile phone base station antennas, and wireless LAN antennas. The choice of cover material—ranging from plastic and metal to fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP)—depends on the antenna’s specific application and location. FRP, in particular, is favored for its combination of lightweight and durability, making it a popular choice across different settings.
