Telewave ANT260K Discone Antenna
The Telewave ANT260K is a highly durable, broadband discone antenna that operates across a wide frequency range from 75 MHz to 3 GHz. Its broad vertical beamwidth makes it ideal for both ground communications and ground-to-air links. Designed to withstand severe conditions that typically cause conventional antennas to fail, Telewave discone antennas have been successfully used in both domestic and international settings, supporting a variety of voice and data communications across multiple frequency bands. Constructed from military-grade 6061-T6 solid aluminum and fully welded at every seam, these antennas offer unparalleled structural integrity. All critical connections are safeguarded inside a sturdy radome, enhancing their durability in even the harshest environments.
To ensure longevity and resistance to harsh environmental factors, the antenna features a Txylan™ coating on all metallic parts. This coating provides comprehensive protection against corrosive agents, UV rays, salt fog, acid precipitation, and the abrasive conditions found in desert areas. The ANT260K is specifically designed for attachment to galvanized steel support pipes with outer diameters ranging from 1.5” to 3.5”. It comes with an
ANTC482 dual clamp set for secure mounting. For operations in desert regions, the
ANT260KT variant is available with a Desert Tan coating, further optimizing it for such environments.
