LightPointe, a prominent wave point-to-point radiomanufacturerfor ultra high capacity Gigabit connectivity, recently introduced a 60 GHz radio designed to better toleratehigh winds, harsh weather, and vibration. The importance of such reliability cannot be adequately described. Communications are vital in the event of emergencies, between police officers, during military operations, and during special events.

The company’s engineers created a tripod-with a unique vibration dampening mount Now, the radio can be attached to a pole, building, tower, or even a temporary tripod and withstand long and short range assignments without worrying about conditions.

Ecomass Technologies

Ecomass is the leader in high density thermoplastics composite materials and high density plastics. For nearly twenty years, it has worked with both government and private customers. Some require simple delivery of a finished material. Some want a processor to work with a particular material. Others wish to have a long-term supplier. Whatever the case or situation, Ecomass has the skills, experience, and drive to satisfy each customers’ needs in a timely, cost-effective manner.

Ecomass’ commitment remains with its customer long after the sale of its products. It works from an application and product-centric perspective and remains actively present to support each customer from a product conception all the way through to production and assembly, ensuring that the final piece exceeds customer expectations.

The vibrations LightPointe sought to remedy is caused by waves of energy, which has both a frequency and amplitude. To reduce or eliminate these vibrations, you must either isolate or dampen vibration by lowering the resonant frequency. If isolation isn’t possible, engineers will next introduce a damping material, which will reduce, restrict, or prevent the amount of energy the oscillatory system produces. Ecomass achieves vibration dampening by selecting a practical and appropriate, high gravity soft base resin or vibration dampening material.

Ecomass’ high gravity thermoplastics composite materials have been utilized successfully in a wide variety of vibration dampening applications, including:

  • aircraft audio headphones, to improve reception quality and minimize outside noise
  • manual transmission shifters, where upper end sport/luxury automobiles drivers of appreciate the decrease in shifter rod vibration
  • Golf club weights, woods, irons and wedges, thus improving golfers’ swing and ball strike.

All of Ecomass’ compounds are 100% lead free, do not contain any U.S. EPA toxic or hazardous substances, and fully comply with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act.
