The products portfolio outlinedgives a brief description of some of the types of masts andpoles we have developed for our customers over the years.MonopolesA monopole is a multi sided column used as an alternative tolattice towers in heights normally ranging from 12m to 30m.A monople usually has the ability to support 6, 9 or 12 offantennas as well as a number of microwave dishes. They arenormally fitted with steps of some type and an anti-climb facilitytogether with a certified fall arrest system. Monopoles areusually mounted in rural or industrial areas where their size isnot significant and a large number of antennas can be fitted.StreetPolesThis type of structure is a slimline design usually situated in astreet-side location, either pavement or grass verge, in heightsranging from 8 to 20m. Designs can incorporate Dual-Stackand Single-Stack methods, to maintain an optimum shroud sizewhile providing service for more than one operator. Dual-Stackis where there are two arrays of antenna stacked at differentheights. Single Stack means that all antennas are located at thesame height.Road Lighting PolesRoad lighting poles are, as the name implies, road lightingcolumns with antennas fitted.
