The fastest coverage to market consuming the least space per building rooftop and the highest return in monetary value per square meter occupied.
Due to the immense variety of building structures, each rooftop installation has to be surveyed and designed on its own merit with structural engineer involvement if required.
A rooftop design can range from a galvanised pole installation to a low impact chimney solution up to Sun City`s coverage for the Nedbank Golf Challenge on top of the club house!
Taking up 3m x 3m ground space and all components being premanufactured, this is the ideal solution for a drop-and-go installation of up to 21m top
of antenna height.
Depending on load, the unit can either have a low impact antenna housing, painted to match the surrounding area or be camouflaged as a tree.
The solution can take many forms and be adapted to perform an array of secondary functions such as an actual flag pole, solar panel host or tracking unit for rhino's on the MTN Welgevonden anti-poaching project!
More suited towards a rural roll-out, the rapid deployment solution can achieve heights up to 30m top of antenna
with a five day installation period up to ready for occupation. Ideal where concrete delivery time and access poses a threat to the integrity
of the cast, backfill soil can be used as counter-weight.
Hosting two share parties, the system allows for each mobile operator having his
own access gate directly at his equipment cabinet.
During a schedule constraint, the components can be assembled on ground level and placed
in position by crane truck.
Seen as the flagship of installations, this solution has a lead time of 90 days from start of process to be ready for occupation. However, it can achieve heights of up to 54 meters on the monopole and 70 meters on the lattice structure. All this is achieved with the support of civil and structural engineers to ensure blue chip quality and safety.
The standard is however a 25 meter height as the mobile operator foot print is becoming smaller as more and more smart devices are connecting to each tower.
Local councils prefer tree masts and monopoles for built-up areas while monopoles and lattice masts are chosen for rural areas.
Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) provide a way to efficiently distribute wireless coverage and capacity inside buildings or other structures. Many of the materials used to construct a building prevent outside radio signals from reaching the inside areas of the structure. Additionally, cellular coverage supplied by outdoor macro antennas are often not sufficient to provide adequate capacity for buildings that are designed to hold large groups of people, such as stadiums and convention centres.
A large-scale Outdoor Distributed Antenna System (oDAS) will provide wireless coverage in outdoor environments. This is especially important In large open spaces such as parking lots, outdoor shopping areas, large business or educational campuses, and outdoor concert venues, where seamless wireless coverage is essential and towers may not be an option due to capacity limitations
