Mast

Masts, in the context of the supply class Antennas, Waveguides, and Related Equipment in the supply group Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components, refer to structures or supports used to elevate and support antennas or other equipment for communication purposes.

Masts are typically made of durable materials such as steel or aluminum and are designed to withstand various environmental conditions. They are used to elevate antennas, waveguides, and related equipment to a suitable height for optimal signal transmission and reception.

Masts come in various sizes and configurations, depending on the specific requirements of the communication system. They can be freestanding structures or attached to buildings or other existing structures. Some masts are telescopic, allowing for height adjustment, while others are fixed in height.

In addition to providing support, masts may also include features such as cable management systems, lightning protection, and mounting brackets for attaching antennas or other equipment.

Overall, masts play a crucial role in the installation and operation of communication systems, ensuring reliable and efficient transmission of signals for various applications, including wireless communication, broadcasting, and satellite communication.
