What are the advantages of Monopole Tower?

Monopoles are one of the least intrusive and easiest communication towers to erect. This fact has led to them quickly becoming one of the most popular structures in the wireless communications industry. As consumer demand for data from wireless devices continues to soar, wireless carriers are facing serious network capacity issues. While new technologies and better wireless antennas can help, the best solution is to add additional transmission towers. However, adding towers in urban areas has become increasingly difficult in recent years with stricter zoning laws and a lack of available land, making the process longer and more expensive. Because monopoles and concealed monopoles (pine poles, flag poles, palm poles, etc.) require a smaller footprint and are more aesthetically pleasing, wireless carriers are increasingly turning to these structures for deployment in densely populated areas.

How can monopole towers solve your telecom needs?

Advantages of Monopole Towers

Monopole towers have a single pole design, typically in the 100 to 170 foot range. You can install antennas on monopole towers with vertical incremental spacing of approximately 10 to 15 feet. Because of this feature, they can often accommodate multiple antennas from multiple operators at the same time. Their narrow, tubular design reduces the number of production parts and materials required. Monopole towers are not only the most cost effective solution, but also the least intrusive one. These towers are ideal for tight or limited spaces and where zoning is difficult. Monopole towers require less space to accommodate the tower base, which makes installation easier and deployment faster. Renting rather than buying a monopole telecom tower helps ensure a faster installation - especially if the tower you are looking for is already in stock.

When disaster strikes, this time efficiency is key. When a disaster like a hurricane hits, you want to be able to install your tower in days, not months. But quick installation isn't the only weather-related benefit of installing monopole towers. They are also an industry favorite due to their strength and structural integrity, allowing them to withstand strong winds. For those looking to invest in telecom towers that can withstand storms, this is a major advantage. However, for an extra precaution, shorter towers are better suited for areas with strong winds, while taller towers are better suited for areas with weak winds.

In addition to emergency and disaster relief efforts, other common uses for fast and effective telecom tower installations include.

- Water tank restoration projects

- Large sporting, political and social events

- Temporary relocation

- Microwave connections

Their benefits go beyond straightforward use to include aesthetic and environmental factors. While camouflaged monopole towers are attractive, they can also be more expensive. The most common type of camouflage used by operators is a monopole tower that looks like a tree. Because of their smaller, less invasive nature - camouflaged or not - monopole towers are a good choice for urbanized areas. They "blend in well with their environment" and "often, climbing attachments and antennas are the only visible additions." Their smaller nature also results in less environmental stress, and surface-mounted monopole towers can further reduce ground interference. Many of the benefits mentioned above also make monopole towers a good temporary telecommunications option.
