RolaTube Technology’s proprietary Bi-stable Reeled Composite (BRC) technology has revolutionised the
field of communications, surveillance and inspection. Uniquely, BRCs are stable whether coiled or extended.
This allows a user to carry a five metre communications mast as a 20 x 26 cm roll weighing around 5kg. This
type of mast is much faster and easier to set up and take down than traditional telescopic and sectional
masts. It is also far smaller and lighter - critical requirements for challenging environments including defence,
nuclear and space.
The RolaTube mast can withstand harsh environments and is certified to MIL-STD-810G.
In Afghanistan the RolaTube mast allowed Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) equipment designed to
prevent attacks with IEDs to be taken off vehicles and carried by troops on foot for the first time.
Our latest Integrated Antenna Masts further enhance the advantages of the technology. This unique solution
integrates a high performing antenna into the structure of the BRC mast. This allows quick set up of
communications with considerably less weight and complexity than a traditional antenna system.British and Portuguese Defence Industries Partnering Workshop - Lisbon, 23 May 2019 17
