Antenna

The antenna is one of the most important parts of a communication tower. It is a device that converts wireless signals into electrical signals, and vice versa. Antennas come in various types and specifications, which can be selected according to different needs and applications.

Bracket

Brackets are components that connect the antenna to the tower. They are usually made of steel parts or steel pipes and have load-bearing and supporting functions.

 
Type of Telecommunication Towers
 
01/

Lattice towers are freestanding and segmentally designed with rectangular or triangular base steel lattices. This type of tower construction can be useful in situations which require modifications such as mounting large number of panel or dish antennas. They can be used as electricity transmission towers, radio towers or as an observation tower. The Eiffel Tower is a famous example of a lattice tower.

02/

Guyed towers can be lightweight to heavyweight towers often seen as slender steel structures. Commonly seen in the tower industry, guyed towers are designed to provide maximum strength, efficiency and versatility with easy installation. They are supported by one or more levels of braided or stranded steel guy cables that anchor to the ground.

03/

Monopole towers work well when space is limited, zoning is difficult or harsh weather conditions need to be considered. Designed as a single-pole that can be a tubular section design or a formed, tapered pole, they are the least intrusive – making them the most popular tower types in the wireless communication industry. Because of the single-pole design, it advantageously reduces visual impact and results in a shorter construction time (and typically cost) compared to traditional lattice structures. Many monopoles can also be designed as stealth, camouflage towers.

04/

Self-support towers offer the most possibilities compared to other types of telecom towers and are considered appropriate for nearly all wireless communication applications. Available in 3-legged triangular and 4-legged square lattice-type structures, their braces can accommodate the heaviest of loads and the strongest of winds. Their design is ideal for installations where space requirements may be limited and often inexpensive to purchase, transport and install.

05/

Camouflage towers are typically used in urban areas when the need to reduce visual impact on the environment is a concern. They are often seen in the form of artificial pine trees, palm trees, clock towers and even in the form of artificial cacti.

06/

Mobile cell towers (tower-on-wheels, cell-on-wheels) are considered low-profile and portable because they are often mounted on trailers. Coming with a portable, small footprint, mobile cell towers are discreet and very versatile. They are often used in temporary or emergency situations; however, they are also useful if budget or permits are of concern.
