When choosing the best telecom tower for your project, there are many factors to consider first, including design, tower height, environment, and weight.
This article will focus on the 4 types of telecom towers. Please read on for more information.
Bionic Tower
Lattice towers are freestanding, often called self-supporting towers; the most stable and flexible type of cell tower. They are generally constructed in steel with a triangular or quadrangular base steel lattice segment design. They can be used as power transmission towers, radio towers, or observation towers. The Eiffel Tower is a famous example of a lattice tower. Many of the original communication towers were self-supporting and up to 500 feet tall.
A wire pull tower is similar to a monopole tower with a single mast but is stabilized by pulling wires. It can be a light tower or a heavy tower that is often considered a slender steel structure. Tie wire towers commonly found in the tower industry are designed to provide maximum strength, efficiency, and versatility, and are easy to install. They are supported by one or more layers of braided or stranded steel cables anchored to the ground. They range in size from 40 feet to over 2,000 feet and are used for television and radio broadcasting.
Lattice Tower
Monopole towers work well when space is limited, zoning is difficult, or when severe weather conditions need to be considered. Designed as single poles, either in a tubular cross-section design or a formed tapered pole, they are the least intrusive. This makes them the most popular tower type in the wireless communications industry. The monopole design facilitates less visual impact and shorter construction time compared to traditional lattice structures. Many monopole antennas can also be designed as invisible camouflage towers.
Bionic towers are often used in urban areas when there is a need to reduce the visual impact on the environment. They often take the form of artificial pine trees, palm trees, clock towers, or even artificial cacti. Designed to blend into the surrounding environment. They are usually smaller and do not provide the same coverage as other tower types.
