    Different Types of Telecom Towers

    Lattice towers are freestanding structures with steel lattices in a rectangular or triangular base that allow for modifications. Guyed towers are slender steel structures supported by guy cables anchored to the ground. Monopole towers are single-pole designs that reduce visual impact and have shorter construction times than lattice towers. Camouflage towers disguise communications towers as trees or other structures to minimize environmental impact. Self-support towers can accommodate heavy loads and winds in their lattice designs. Mobile cell towers are mounted on trailers for portability and temporary use.

    Different Types of Telecom Towers: Which

    Design is Right For Your Site?


    When choosing which telecom tower will best suit your project, it is important to consider a
    number of factors first, including design, tower height, location (environment) and weight.
    Identifying the most efficient telecom tower design can be challenging but LCS is committed to
    helping you select the style that is right for your project and accommodate increasing
    connectivity demands. We are a leading provider of design & build tower modifications and
    reinforcement services and a member of Communication Authority of Kenya (CA).

    Towers, commonly used for wireless telecommunications,


    come in a variety of types:
    Lattice Towers

    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.

    Guyed Towers

    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.

    Monopole Towers

    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.

     
    Camouflage Towers

    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.

    Self-Support Towers

    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.

    Mobile Cell Towers

    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.
