The inf rare dre flective windshield is coated and
pr eve nts an excessive build-up of heat in the
ve hicle interior.
The coating shields theve hicle interior against
ra dio waves up into the gigahertz range.
Ra dio-cont rolled equipment, such as toll sys‐
te ms, can only be mounted on areas of the wind‐
shield which are permeable toradio wav es1.
Areas permeable toradio wav es1 are best visi‐
